A Wave of Change - Mitchell Kossak

"Art holds space. Art holds shadow. Art holds light. Art awakens creativity in order to find imaginative solutions to dilemmas, problems, and difficulties. Art holds resonance.


When you teach one person how to express their pain and suffering, this act sends out a wave of healing, as that one person goes back to their families, to their friends, to their communities. As you teach that one person how to live with uncertainty, to take healthy risks, to learn how to channel their anger, rage and deep sadness, and to embrace healthier ways of living, this one gesture has an effect on the whole.  It creates a sympathetic resonance, a wave of change, that touches all in its wake.” Mitchell Kossak, PhD, LMHC, REAT


Mitchell is truly a guiding light in this field – an international presenter, professional musician, expressive arts therapist, university professor, massage therapist and bodyworker, and author of Attunement in Expressive Arts Therapy: Towards an Understanding of Embodied Empathy (2015).


We are excited to bring Mitchell to you in Sarasota, FL on March 4, for a full-day workshop! Details and registration here.
