Noon to 5 pm EDT
Live Online via Zoom

Finding New Inspiration in Challenging Times
Many of us are trying to find ways to cope with "the new normal". Change is hard and we are tired. What if we allow that sense of fatigue to carry us into a place of new inspiration via daydreams and waking visions? What if a "new and exciting normal" can emerge as we dream together? Join Donna as she guides you from Chaos to Cosmos on your canvas, discovering new possibilities
and new dreams. Paint your own "beautiful dreamer" using a new process that turns negative space into positive inspiration.
Supply list attached.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING WORKSHOPS
Entering the Dance Safely
with Markus Scott-Alexander, PhD, REAT
Wednesday Aug. 19, 6-8 pm ET
Live Online via Zoom
$50
Expressive arts work is usually quite gentle. We do not push or manipulate the process. We trust the process. Taking someone through an embodied, creative experience requires both inspiration and skill. In this master class, which is both theoretical and experiential, we will explore the phenomenon of “safely, entering the dance”. We start the process
with body awareness, which focuses on vertical presence. Then, we will progress to movement which takes us into the space, the horizontal plane. And thirdly, we move on to dance where we let go and explore. In this training, we learn how to move into the experience of letting go in a way that feels both safe and playful.
Re-Firing On All Cylinders!
The Evolution of a Canadian, Rural Expressive Arts Practice
with H. Fay Wilkinson, REACE
September 19th, 2020
Noon – 2 pm ET
$50
Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention. Often it seems to take a major catalyst to force a re-think, a re-arrange, and a re-charge. That catalyst can give us a real opportunity to jolt us out of the safety of the known and catapult us into new territory. Join me as I share how my Canadian, rural expressive arts practice has evolved in these ‘new’ days. I’ll cover what I’ve
learned, the mistakes I’ve made and how I’ve found fresh, effective ways of doing my personal and professional work using technology. You will have a chance to say yes to a hands-on art-making experience which will highlight best practices.
Living with Uncertainty
Expressive Arts Therapy:
Trauma, Resiliency and Attunement
with Mitchell Kossak, PhD, LMHC, REAT
Wednesday October 7, 6-8 pm ET
Live Online via ZOOM
$50
In these uncertain and distressed times, the skills that we can bring as expressive arts practitioners become even more important in helping to guide ourselves and others through difficult emotions. This ‘Woke-Shop’ will be a time to reflect on the inner and outer landscapes with a focus on how expressive arts can address individual and collective trauma through a lens of inter and intra- personal neurobiology. Through guided
exercises that use breath, sound, rhythmic drumming, movement and image making we will explore how a re-alignment with personal and transpersonal rhythms can help to facilitate a sense of psychospiritual unity and begin a process of healing.
Rising Up to the Dream of Your Soul
Grounding through the Expressive Arts in times of upheaval and uncertainty
Tuesday October 27, 6-8 pm ET
Live Online via Zoom
$50
Connecting with elemental energies through movement, painting, writing, poetry, storytelling and ritual, we will connect with earth body wisdom to remember our essential natures, grief the heartbreak of separation, isolation and disconnection and reclaim the dream of our souls that connect us with all of our relations.
The soul dream serves as a resource to be with the imprints of the human cultural shadow of war, violence, abuse, “isms,” injustices, and separation from ourselves and each other and the earth as well as the current impact of the pandemic. We will provide a safe container to grieve the impact of those societal structures and global crisis on our psyche and utilize the intermodality of the expressive arts as well as earth as a resource
to process, digest, express and reconnect.
We will rise up through the embodiment of our soul dream in various modalities and access the field of love and compassion, supporting our resiliency and reconnection with our bodies and the larger earth body through guided meditation, soundhealing, breathing exercises and ritual.
This is an experiential workshop in which participants will take away tools to provide cultural shadow grief-work based in trauma-informed care, eco-psychology, energy work and self-care tools to do this work from a resourced place. Applications of the work are discussed and explored.
Our Online Professional Development Training Workshops are designed to bring Expressive Arts students, therapists, and practitioners training opportunities with leaders in the field. Through a live online format, we bring you Expressive Arts professionals, from around the world, to enhance your learning and expertise. Each
presentation will be a combination of didactic and experiential learning. We are a Florida CEU provider for LMHC, LCSW, LMFT. You will receive a Certificate of Completion to submit to your own CE Board.
Each workshop is $50. If you are an EAFI graduate or student, use coupon code gradeafi and receive a 20% discount.
