No artistic skills required! Come share in this experiential workshop where we will explore somatics (awareness of the body and internal experiences) and very simple expressive arts therapy techniques (guided scribble drawings, movement practices, etc). Becoming aware of what's happening in your body and following internal cues & emotions in simple expressive practices can create a sense of connection to yourself and your creativity. It may also unearth some things that need your attention, or that inspire you. Be held in this creative, safe and nonjudgmental container where you can be, express and nourish your authentic self!Presenter Ashley Rae Stevenson, M.A. is a certified trauma-informed embodiment coach & somatic facilitator. She has training in psychology, counseling, massage therapy, expressive arts therapies, various forms of energy work, and yoga.
