This presentation invites participants to engage in an in-depth exploration of the Expressive Therapies Continuum (ETC), guiding them through its concepts with both intellectual insight and creative engagement. Through carefully structured instructional material, participants will gain a clear understanding of the ETC and its practical applications in expressive practices. The presentation will also include an illustrative art-based experiential exercise, offering an opportunity to directly engage with the concepts being presented. Real-world case studies will further enrich the learning process, demonstrating how the ETC can be applied, deepening participants’ understanding through practical examples. Dedicated time for questions will create a collaborative learning environment.

If you cannot attend the Live presentation via Zoom, the recording will be available for you to watch at your convenience for up to 2 months!
