Bodywork is soul work. Imagination is the bridge between body and soul.” Marion Woodman
Artistic expression engages the body/mind in a way that promotes connection and integration: when we engage in embodied artmaking, our capacity to connect with self, with others, and the world expands, leading to an improved quality of life.
Join Dr. Rosario Sammartino for a workshop series to explore a variety of Tamalpa Life/Art Process methods that support body/mind connection, creative expression and integration. Through interactive lectures and experiential activities, participants will learn to incorporate these approaches into their work as a therapist or as forms of self-care. Dr. Sammartino draws upon her twenty-year experience as a Somatic Movement therapist and educator, including her recent research-based work that explores the value of combined somatic and artistic approaches for trauma healing.
This course is designed for therapists, educators and individuals who want to incorporate the embodied creativity of the arts into their personal lives and/or professional practice. No previous dance or art experience is required.

WEEKLY GROUP SESSIONS [Online]
Saturdays 9 a.m.-11 a.m. PT
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.
Limited to 18 participants per group, save your spot!
