APRIL 10TH, 2026, 9 am -4 pm PT. | 6 CEUs
Lewis & Clark Graduate School, Portland, Oregon
Trauma lives in the body–in our sensations, gestures, movements, and in our capacity to feel and imagine. Trauma narrows our ability to express, to feel alive, and to dream. Words alone are not enough to fully capture or transform these embodied experiences.
Somatics and art-based approaches offer a unique pathway in therapy. Integrating movement, drawing, creative writing, and other holistic approaches provide an invitation to express ourselves through the language of the body, and give shape to what lies beneath the surface.Through creative exploration, participants learn to recognize and release held patterns, engage imagination as a resource, and rebuild connections with themselves and others.
Participants in this workshop will:
-
Explore how trauma lives in the body, and how arts and movement can support release, regulation, and renewal
-
Connect with the creative body as a resource for resilience, discovering new possibilities for expression and healing
-
Engage in guided individual explorations and group processes that foster connection and creativity
This workshop is for practitioners seeking to incorporate body-based and creative tools into their practice, as well as those longing to reconnect with their bodies, creativity, and sense of possibility.
Ongoing Group Sessions

Grounded on the Tamalpa Life/Art Process, which combines a variety of somatic-artistic tools–including movement, drawing, creative writing, and performance– I provide a creative and safe space for group participants to explore personal and interpersonal themes & generate new resources to bring into their lives. Group sessions promote healing and growth, supporting the development of creative resources, artful communication, and embodied presence.
Group sessions are 2 hour-long and take place once a week. Each month a different but interconnected larger theme is explored, allowing ongoing participants to keep expanding and deepening into their process while opening up the space for new members to join the group. Participants are required to sign up for the whole month-long series (4 sessions) and have priority to enroll in the following months. When spaces are made available, new participants are welcome to the group.
