Expressive Arts Therapy Summer Institute
The Power of Tribe:
Open Studio Process in Group and Community Work
July 25 to July 26
This experiential workshop deepens the introduction to the Open Studio Process provided in the Expressive Arts Therapy Summer Institute (EATSI). In addition to being an individual practice of connection to our deepest creativity and inner wisdom, the Open Studio Process is being used in group and community formation and direction. This workshop will provide an opportunity to work together in pairs and small groups organized around a common purpose, image or interest. The critical act of forming a consensual shared intention is a precursor of creative breakthrough and genuine social change. Organizing in partnerships or small tribes, students will share and deepen their response to a social, therapeutic, organizational or ecological issue and harvest solutions, new forms, performances and action plans to share with the larger EATSI community. Special attention will be given to the Seat of the Shadow, the aspect of each of us that remains unconsciously (or consciously) invested in our story over all others.
