Invitation to Expressive Arts Meditation Sangha for Clinicians

What: A bi-weekly meditation group that focuses on supporting our bodies, brains and spirits through these challenging and constantly changing times, bringing us together through zoom. Each week will include meditation teachings and a practice component that fuses meditation and expressive arts. Each practice session will include strategies, skills or mind sets that support us as we move through the process of opening to our lives as they are.

What is Expressive Arts? Expressive arts is the convergence of multiple art forms. It is multi-modal, meaning several different modes or art forms may be used together. Examples include visual art, music, drama, poetry, dance/movement, story writing, drumming, and vocalization.

There is no need to have artistic skills to participate in this Sangha – We all have the capacity for creativity - All levels of expression and creativity are welcome!

• A journal for practice between sessions if you like (can be video journal as well)
