What is Expressive Arts Therapy?

The Expressive Arts unify and amplify all the various creative arts therapies listed here. The idea of expressive arts work is simple: creativity heals.

Ceremonial therapy sets change and transformation in to repeatable action. Learn how to use the symbols that surround you to make meaning and magic, over and over.

Dance and movement therapy unlocks deep physical knowing. Learn to enjoy connection to your body and to appreciate all the wisdom it holds.

Biblio/poetry therapy moves understanding into consciousness through exciting and imaginative writing prompts. Take what is inside of you and give it a voice.

Music therapy taps into the human spirit via our deep and fundamental connection to rhythm and melody. Rejoice in the healing power of song by listening to music, tapping your foot to a beat, or making a playlist.

Drama/narrative therapy illuminates that all the world is a stage and centers the value of storytelling in human agency. Rehearse playing with life, remember that you are the narrator of your own story.

Visual art therapy bypasses the logical mind and brings the unconscious into perspective. Use symbols, shapes, and colors to understand yourself from an entirely new angle.
