Historically, the expressive arts have been part of ancient healing practices and a bridge between our worlds both inwardly and communally. In this workshop, participants will use the expressive therapies to explore the world of the parts of the Self.  How we relate to ourselves, our family and our community depends on the health of our relationship to the inner and outer Self.  While learning some history, theory and use of Expressive Arts, including visual art, journaling, movement and theatre, they will also develop tools for managing stress, healing and empowering themselves.
