When we asked Jo-Ann Dellaposta what she would like to tell the world about Expressive Arts, she said: 

It works! I find that when the intentions are good and there's a willingness to explore, grow or heal, the higher self will respond. It's amazing how everything just comes together and falls into alignment. Put forth the intention of whatever you'd like to accomplish and let the expressive arts work for you.

Jo-Ann's live online workshop is coming up this Friday, and she weaves together a beautiful blend of guided meditation, Reiki, expressive arts, and sound healing in The Power of You - Solar Plexus Chakra. 

Jo-Ann holds a BFA and an MFA in Imaging Arts. She is a New York State certified art teacher and has taught students of all ages and skill levels for 30 years. She is a graduate of EAFI's Certificate Training Program and a member of our Alumni Circle. Jo-Ann has been a Reiki practitioner for 14 years and has recently become certified in crystal sound healing. Jo-Ann designs and facilitates workshops that integrate the expressive arts, Reiki and sound healing for the empowerment and well being of her participants. She also combines energy work and intermodal expressive arts into her own personal practice. She can be found at JD Expressive Art Studio.

Through guided meditation, and an integration of Reiki, sound energy and expressive art modalities, an emphasis is placed on opening and balancing the 3rd Chakra.  Using visualization and projection, Reiki is sent to each participant during guided meditation. Reiki and sound healing are used to open and clear the chakra paths, making way for the creative expression of energy. Participants will engage with artmaking and writing and explore the Solar Plexus Chakra as the Power of YOU!
