PRESENTATIONS and GROUPS
Indigenous peoples have always known - winter is the season of going inward, storytelling, expressing creativity. "At the center of Earth is "art." "Earth' without 'art' is just 'eh'." so says Dr. Theresa Sweeney, ecoArt-therapist. I am not doing groups this Winter, however; if you'd like me to come address your group about therapeutic reasons why to use Artist Way, some ideas on utilizing EcoTherapy, the Danger of Too Many Screens in our Lives, Concepts of Ecopsychology or my Care for the Caregiver presentation, please, feel free to contact me.
