Taking It Off the Page

The Plane of Possibilities
with Manju Jain and Aslam Khader
April 14th
6-8:30pm EST
In this expressive arts workshop the facilitators will lead participants through understanding the mind and how it is our biggest strength, but how sometimes it can be our biggest weakness. We use the various modalities to explore a personal life situation and the different ways to look at that situation. Based on the model of the mind proposed by Dr. Dan
Siegel, the workshop explores how we can use our minds to help ourselves.
We are a husband-wife team dedicated to making emotional well-being practices universally accessible.
Kathleen, Victoria and Tamara of Expressive Arts Florida Institute are inspiring teachers and worthy guides dedicated to sharing the riches and magic of the expressive arts with others. They are gracious hosts, wonderful models of joyful creative engagement and sparkling artists, and they inspire deep engagement
balanced with a whole lot of fun!

Expressive Arts Discovery
A 90-minute live online workshop
on Zoom
Wednesday February 24th
7-8:30pm EST
- Listen to what stirs inside of you. Listen to your longing.
- Learn about Expressive Arts by engaging in it!
- Make Art. Tune in. Be aware of the images that are waiting to emerge. Explore creating those images with simple art materials. Let the images speak – in words, in movement, perhaps. Be amazed. Find your way.
- Share the gifts that your images bring.
- Witness yourself and each other. Just witness. There is nothing that needs to be said or done.
- Discover your next step.
I really appreciate Expressive Arts Discovery, and make every effort to join as often as I can. I feel like it provides a wonderful compliment to my ongoing personal practice by giving me a chance to create with a community. Your guided meditation serves as an excellent
springboard to create a visual image that I can then move to, and or write to. And the best part: witnessing and being witnessed!

My training at EAFI has transformed my capacity to engage in mindful practice in my life and my work. As a social work professor, I have brought the expressive arts into my teaching and mentoring with students and our university
community.
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.

EXPRESSIVE ARTS THERAPY
Telehealth and in-person
Tamara Teeter Knapp, MA, REACE, NCC, MHC Intern
Expressive arts therapy is a multimodal, holistic approach to counseling. It acknowledges the complexity of human experience by facilitating the client in exploring all aspects of the self, by inquiring through the imagination and the body about subjective experience, and expanding the play space to allow for new possibilities and shifts in consciousness that lead to desired changes in one’s life.
