We are offering ALL of our core courses ONLINE in 2021.
This was a big decision. Our experience so far has shown that it is indeed possible!
The course schedule from January to May is published now, and the dates of the remaining core courses will be out soon.
This does not mean we will not return to live, in-the-studio training when the time is right. When and how that will happen is still to be seen.
If you want to complete your Expressive Arts Certificate Training online,
2021 is the year to do it.
Having participated in the intensive in-person training and intensive online training with EAFI, I have found the experience to be of the highest quality in both formats. I am genuinely appreciative of Kathleen, Tamara, and Victoria for their
commitment to offering excellent programming in both venues.

Rising Up to the Dream of Your Soul
Grounding through the Expressive Arts in times of upheaval and uncertainty
with Nicki Koethner, MA, MFT
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.

Expressive Writing Workshop Series
with Anne Hofland
6 Fridays, 10-11:30 am
October 30 through December 11 (no class Nov 27)
Online via Zoom
$120 for the series
The desire to tell our stories has been part of the human experience since the beginning of time, in all cultures around the world. Writing can offer us a vehicle to better understand ourselves and each other, can empower us to find our voice, and can provide a transformative and healing experience. It is also an art form, and another medium to express ourselves creativity. Everyone is inherently a writer, and everyone can use words
to create art.
- Come create and share your stories in a safe and supportive environment.
- Each workshop will consist of:
- writing prompts
- time to write,
- the opportunity to share your work
- the opportunity to listen and respond to others stories.
- Sharing is always optional, and feedback is always positive
No previous creative writing experience is necessary.
Anne Hofland is a regular member of our open studio sessions, and discovered expressive writing as a tool on her own healing journey. She integrates extensive personal experience with the Amherst Writers and Artists workshop method, her skills as an educator, and her training as a facilitator with the Toronto Writers
Collective to provide an opportunity for participants to embark on an inner journey of exploration through writing. Anne has published travel articles, memoir pieces in three anthologies, and was a winner in the City of Toronto, My City, My Six story competition. Anne has taught Expressive Writing in person at Expressive Arts Florida, and has adapted her program to an online format during this time of physical distancing.
