Discerning the Questions that Guide Your Expressive Arts Practice
A very special workshop for practitioners, students, and anyone interested in this field.
We are thrilled to welcome back Pat B. Allen and Rabbi Adina Allen!
This mother/daughter duo invites you to listen deeply and respond to what calls you, and what the world is calling for. This is a wonderful opportunity to be held in a nurturing space and try something new, while guided by two inspiring leaders. This Professional Development training workshop is this Thursday May 12, and will be recorded. You will receive a
certificate of completion, which you can submit for CEU's, if you attend and participate live.
What last year's participants have to say.....
Contemplation via word and image clarified how I can continue to hear, discern and refine my unique calling as I bring it heARTfully to my people, my community and my small, yet significant part of this beautiful island home we share. My deepest appreciation and thanks for
reorienting me to the star my wagon is hitched to while supporting me in keeping my feet on terra firma! 2021 Workshop participant
I found Expressive Arts Florida Institute online workshops a few years ago. They were my salvation and helped me through some difficult life struggles. After a brief hiatus, I have now returned and recently participated in Pat Allen and Rabbi Adina Allen's 2021 workshop. It was a
perfect blend of experiential artmaking, didactic lecture, and group connection through sharing. And of course, the Allens were exceptional presenters! Thank you EAFI for drawing me back in! Barbara A., PhD, LPC
Rabbi Adina and Pat supported the participants to know themselves, their particular talents and follow their hearts. It was a safe, meaningful workshop. Gail Braverman, San Diego, CA.
This was a truly transformative and unifying workshop, please bring more!

We all have life experiences that call out to us from within, that need transformation, that can yield new knowing via the creative process. The world itself is also calling out for transformation of outworn strategies for living. This workshop will focus on using the Open Studio Process of intention and witness as a powerful form of discernment to hear and respond to what
uniquely is calling us.
Participants will learn:
- To identify a guiding passion
- Assess resources and challenges
- Create an image for ongoing inspiration
