"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.
