Dear Creatives,

There is something uniquely intimate about one-on-one work.

When we sit with another person — holding space for their questions, their images, their unfolding — our presence matters just as much as the methods we use. Many of us feel this deeply… and still wonder:

How do I invite creativity without pressure?
How do I structure a session while staying responsive?
When do I witness, and when do I gently intervene?

Creative Presence: Facilitating Expressive Arts with Individuals was created for anyone holding these very questions. This two-day, live online training February 6 & 20, 2026 | 11:00 am – 4:30 pm ET offers a supportive, experiential space to develop confidence and clarity in facilitating expressive arts within individual sessions.

Together, we will explore how to:

• Invite clients into creative exploration with gentleness and ease
• Structure intermodal sessions without losing spontaneity
• Stay deeply present while clients are making art
• Clarify your role as facilitator or therapist
• Support inner exploration through witnessing, language, and timing

This course is designed for therapists, facilitators, coaches, spiritual directors, and healthcare professionals who want practical tools that feel grounded, respectful, and alive — tools you can bring directly into your work.

Because this is an experiential training, the course will not be recorded. The learning happens through presence, participation, and shared creative inquiry.

Participants who complete the course will receive:

• 10 CEUs (approved for LMHC, LCSW, and LMFT in Florida)
• A Certificate of Completion
• 10 core expressive arts training hours aligned with IEATA® pathways

We do ask that participants have some familiarity with expressive arts. If you’re newer to the field, our self-study course Creative Wisdom: Introductory Online Training in Expressive Arts is a wonderful place to begin (at least the first two lessons are recommended).

Registration closes January 31, 2026, and space is limited to keep the container intimate and supportive.

If you feel a quiet yes — a sense that this is the next step in your learning or practice — we would love to welcome you.

Details and Enrollment:

Dates: February 6 & 20, 2026 (Live Online)

Hours: 10 contact hours  

Registration Deadline: Saturday, January 31, 2026

And if you have questions or want help discerning whether this course is the right fit, we warmly invite you to reach out by responding to this email.
