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, I have found the
experience to be of the highest quality in both formats. I am genuinely appreciative of the faculty for their commitment to offering excellent programming in both venues.
Dr. Heidi Heft LaPorte
Associate Professor, Barry University
Ellen Whiteside McDonnell School of Social Work
Expressive Arts Florida offers the Gold Standard of expressive arts training programs. Their intensive certificate program was the best thing to happen to me when I was in the” in-between.” It gave me the reboot I needed to hone my skills as an expressive arts practitioner, revitalized my commitment to the work and brought me up to date with current best practices. The instructor’s professionalism,
expertise and well-balanced, teaching style afforded me a safe container in which to explore profound play. As a result I grew as a person and as a facilitator.
