So what are your images? with Donna Newman-Blustein - Registered Dance Therapist and Adjunct Faculty

It is said that we can not make a single movement without first having an image. Paying close attention to our images provides us with clues about our individual journeys. Couple that with the intention of self-nurturing, and our images move us along the continuum to greater health and well-being. Bringing our images, our visions and our dreams into enactment through art moves us toward fullest expression of the self, allowing us to share our unique gifts with others. Come hear Donna speak about our sources of inspiration! Be introduced to the Octaband, a dance/expressive therapy tool she's discovered to help us bring our gifts to others. Donna Newman-Blustein is a registered Dance Therapist and adjunct faculty at Lesley University.

I've been writing about expressive arts therapy.  My goal has been to articulate a critical perspective on expressive arts therapy, but as usual, writing is never easy, and I feel pretty alone in the writing process.  I like to write (sort of). I like to read (definitely!). And I know there is a connection between the two.   For me, research, theorizing, and critical reflection are not only for me.  Although I do enjoy the process of playing with ideas, writing (and by extension teaching and practice) for me is my work - my attempt to be part of a future building and change process that is done in community! I've been feeling a bit bereft of community, so here is my attempt to bu
