Therapy of Motion is dedicated to the vibrancy and health of the body: the soma. The word Soma means body, in Greek. Somatic relates to a person's inner experience, or internal awareness, of the body as a system, an organism - it is the body-mind connection that facilitates spiritual intelligence.

ART FLOW™ :

Art Flow uses Halprin-based, expressive arts and movement therapy techniques that are geared towards awakening the body to the stories of our lives. It is a system that is based on the principle that all of our life-stories, traumas, and experiences are held in the body and can be accessed through the body in movement and creative expression. We utilize art mediums, such as drawing, creative writing, dramatic expression and performance to dive into our material, and connect with new possibilities for change and growth. The Halprin Life-Art Process teaches us how to listen to the body's feelings and allow them to be identified, expressed and confronted in dynamic creative ways. Art Flow facilitates healing and growth for transforming our lives and enhancing meaning in our relationship with ourselves, with others and with our world. It is a work that utilizes creativity as a basis for gaining and maintaining balance in the human organism - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
