Hi everyone,

I’m doing a monologue on birth this year... Please pass the word. If you’ve never seen the show it’s quite moving and not to be missed.

It’s intense and funny and touching and disturbing and wonderful. Bring a friend and come and support us.

Happy Valentine’s Day,
Karen

Creating a forum for discussion

For some time I've been discussing the possibility of creating a blog for expressive therapy on my website with one of our alum, Eve Lyons.

My hope is that this can be a way to make expressive therapy even more of a living process for those of us who are interested in learning more about it. So, here we go!

I've been feeling a bit bereft of community, so here is my attempt to bu

Day 16 - Inspiration

Day 16 – One of the pleasures of being on sabbatical has been taking advantage of the opportunity to read, play, and go down the rabbit holes of research, which involves quite a bit of internet “stumbling upon.”   I’ve stumbled upon music, poetry, visual art, people’s stories, scholarly websites, articles, literature, and social action projects.   One of the things I tell students and believe, is that everything can be used as inspiration for sessions and connection. Here are just a few that have been particularly inspiring in the past few days – enjoy!   Amplifer – https://amplifier.org/about/   “a nonprofit design lab that builds art and media experiments to amplify the most important movements of our times. Our experiments are built on a foundation of free and open source art, the unlimited possibilities within a human centered design process, and the potentials when analog and digital technology merge.”   Blair Imani - https://blairimani.com/   In particular, check out h
