"Like the river, return to the Source."   - Tao te Ching
 
"Part of the psychotherapeutic process is to awaken the creative life-force energy. Thus, creativity and therapy overlap. What is creative is frequently therapeutic. What is therapeutic is frequently a creative process." 
- Natalie Rogers, A Path to Wholeness

HOMECOMING: "All sickness is homesickness," says author Dianne Connelly, "and all healing is a journey home". Home is found as we experience our wholeness. The expressive arts - dance, movement, music, sound, imagery, drawing, sculpting, writing, poetry and improvisation - can facilitate this healing journey home.

     

A Symbol of Healing: Throughout history, in poetic and esoteric writings, humans have been compared to trees. The Tree of Life denotes a connection between three worlds: Its roots grow deep in the ground, drawing nourishment out of what has been composted in the earth and water flowing underground; its trunk grows straight and strong  - a connecting principle facilitating the flow between below and above; its branches and leaves reach toward the sky, harvesting energy from sunlight and transforming it into nourishment through photosynthesis. This beautiful tree is thriving on all levels, and is a potent symbol of inner connectedness and healing.

 

The expressive arts, used pychotherapeutically, are tools that open the doors within to resources for healing.

A Space for Healing: Temenos is a Greek word denoting a sacred space or temple where healing and transformation may occur. My therapy practice offers room to BE and dive deep in a free and sheltered place. Here one can move in one's own particular pathways of heart, soul, mind and body toward healing and being. Here, in a quiet and private setting, it is possible to open to the healing power of the soul through imagination, dreams, movement, and self expression.
