expressive-creative arts therapy allows us to be like little children again- being innocent, playing spontaneously, and taking risks.

not at all! the focus is not on artistry, skill, talent, or performance. the goal of expressive-creative arts therapy is to reach deep within one's self, to contact the authentic self, and to hear the messages from the inner core.

the result?

• personal growth,
• integration of body, mind, and emotions, and
• a greater sense of life being fuller, more joyful, and more meaningful.
