Expressive therapies provide a means for moving below the surface of the verbal, the known, and the routinized into the multi-layered levels of the Self-world unity. By accessing the forms, symbols, and wisdom that emerge from the core of our individual and collective experiences, the expressive arts engage the imagination and create a dialogue between inner and outer realities. These forms and symbols access our capacity to make meaning, to heal, and to grow in a direction consistent with our authentic self and our interdependence within the earth-communities.

Expressive therapy touches the creative core and speeds up internal processing, thus making it applicable to integrative therapies, depth psychology, and the individuation process.
