CREATIVE THERAPEUTIC ENCOUNTERSCreative Therapeutic Encounters is the umbrella term for activities and services centered around the Creative Arts and Healing. It includes Therapy, Community Arts Practice and Partnerships- Multi Modal Artistic mentoring and Creativity Coaching Services. Also on offer are various healing modalities such as Zenith Omega, Reiki, Crystal work, Music Sound & Health training, Modern Qigong, Deep Ecology, Geomancy and Arts Eco Therapies/ Nature play.
In creative arts mode we offer programs and workshops that guide you through your inner territories using different media & expressive forms to process your experience, explore meaning and aid knowing and develop your work whether for personal artistic practice or therapeutic intentions. We believe all forms of creativity are self empowering & useful in service of growth, healing and transformation. We nurture our inherent resourcefulness- using what skills we have with the tools at our disposal. We give outer expression and form to the inner dimensions of thought, feeling and experience, this in turn nurtures trust in Self. As a multi modal artist myself I know of the dynamic healing power inherent in engaging the creative process through my own life experience, working with Word, Picture, Moving Image , Music, Sound, Performance, sculpture and site specific assemblage. One of the core developing features in my work of late is the relationship between person and place, what I have termed Arts Eco Therapy and this has become central to the therapeutic and exploratory work and processes I offer. There can be no healing in isolation, people live within families, within communities and cultures, within and part of systems and complex relations upon the Earth.
