Barbara Mainguy will be doing a pre-conference workshop on Creative Embodied Narratives on 12 May 2017

Join us for a one-day workshop to work with embodied story.

We are made by the stories we carry. Stories can rest deep in our body/mind. Though we may not be verbalizing them, they are surely being told in the way we are in the world and in the way we feel. Some stories can be unspoken for years and can feel like they will always be unspeakable. Some stories may lie so deeply they feel as though they are written in our bones and have always been a part of us. Some stories feel so familiar we think we will never be able to rewrite their truth. Creative arts approaches help us to locate and work with those stories in a container of metaphor and creativity. We use collage, mask, movement, drama, paint, sand, clay etc. to work intuitively and creatively in a supportive environment to find new perspectives on old stories, and to discover and transform those stories that may feel hidden and indeed may be unknown to us.

Barbara Mainguy is a Creative Arts Therapist who has worked in an integrative psychiatric practice with her husband Lewis Mehl-Madrona. Co-author of Remapping Your Mind, Barbara uses multi-modal creative arts to help people find their hidden storylines.

 
This workshop is suitable for consumers and workers to practice fun and insightful creative arts approaches that may be useful to include in the toolbox of life!   Join us for a day of exploration, fun, and surprises.
