Topic: Therapeutic Attunement and Improvisation Presenter: Mitchell Kossak PhD, LMHC, RPP Mitchell Kossak will do a presentation on Therapeutic Attunement as it relates to Improvisation. He will share ideas about experimentation, risk-taking, discovery and meaning-making in the process of creating community through improvisation. HONK! Festival ( http://honkfest.org/ ) is a revolutionary street spectacle of never-before-seen proportions that will converge for the sixth time in Davis Square, Somerville, MA, from Friday, September 30 (sundown) through Monday, October 3, 2011!
