NY-0803 - SoulCollage® for Us: How Peer Support Awakened Our Art Therapy Practice

Description

Five art therapists began a group to continue the SoulCollage® process for persona exploration. An awakening of inspiration followed over the next three years, moving from personal to professional. Panelists discuss how through peer support and facilitation training, they developed, in partnership and individually, SoulCollage® groups in their communities.
