​

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.
