Expressive Art Therapy Demonstrations

Bebe gave me my first "big break" in the online creativity world and it was just in the nick of time. When I first talked to her on the phone, I was working in a 67-year-old government art program for Canadian Veterans. Our program was sadly in the process of shutting down due to funding cuts, and I was in the midst of a grief process.

 Because I didn't have time to explore what others were doing online, I was hesitant about participating in Bebe's online project. I wondered out loud, "What is this online creativity world?"

I will never forget sitting on the curb in the hot sun outside the studio, listening to Bebe's bright beguiling voice saying, "You can do this!" And, I intuitively said, "Yes!"

Many of us in the online creativity world loved the bright star Bebe Butler when Bebe interviewed me last year for her second online event, luxuriously (and accurately) entitled, "Soul Spa." She had just been diagnosed with cancer for the second time.

Sensing into this new reality, I quickly changed the direction of my interview. I felt called to share more personally with Bebe about the mysticism of life and death, as well as how to heal painful memories.

I had the wonderful opportunity to discuss healing trauma through the expressive arts with Jennifer Cunningham in her Post-Traumatic Enlightenment Interview Series. 

In preparation for my chat with writer Dawn Montefusco's interview show, "Write Your True Story," I had a surprising encounter with my inner writer that brought tears to my eyes. The night before our interview, just as I was about to fall asleep, the writer part of myself spoke up and said, "I want to share about how passionate I am about writing!"

I had such a fun conversation about Overcoming Creative Resistance with Dawn Montefusco on her Ultimate Writers Interview Show. We discussed why we often fear expressing our authentic selves.

I recently had such a lovely chat with harpist/healer Patricia Daly from Ireland.

We discussed the healing power of creativity, and each of us shared our personal stories of healing and helping others through our own dedicated creative practices.

I found it to be a very touching conversation about each of our journeys from self-diminishment to self-confidence.
