Prairie Institute of Expressive Arts Therapy

Philosophy

Listen:

In the silence between there is music; In the spaces between there is story.

 

Pay attention:

We are listening each other into being.

• Therapeutic encounters with expressive arts

  therapy increases an individual’s

 connection to their aliveness.

 

• A collaboration occurs between the client, the

  art, and the therapist.

 

• Understanding is experienced not only in the

  mind, but is discovered in the  body.

 

• Moving from one art modality to another

  deepens the individual’s learning and opens one

  to increased possibilities for change.

 

• Change flourishes through guided discovery

   and engagement with the arts.

 

• Our ways of knowing expand through i

   Immersion with our senses.

 

• Profound connections are made with the

   joining of verbal and non-verbal processes.

 

• Whatever you can imagine can be.
