Prairie Institute of Expressive Arts Therapy
Announces:
FINAL YEAR FOR
LEVEL 1 & 2 EXPRESSIVE ARTS PROGRAMS
 | ||
Prairie Institute of Expressive Arts Therapy was born in 2008 in response to the need for expressive arts training for both therapists and facilitators of expressive arts. We have offered over 26 Level 1 & 2 programs in the past 12 years. It has been such an honour to be able to have worked with passionate local trainers who have brought their expertise to our programs. We have had students attend our programs from across Canada, the USA, and abroad, including Hong Kong and Egypt.
This program has been for me a dream come true. To be able to design a training program from a framework that I believe whole heartedly in. The arts bring a richness to the healing world that is unique and powerful. And yes, one must experience it personally to "know" the power of this kind of healing process. The year 2020 brings many changes. One of the main changes is that 2020 will be the final year that the Level 1 & 2 programs will be offered. There is still space in the programs at this time. You can contact me directly if you have any questions about the programs. carmenr@telusplanet.net There will continue to be offerings made from Prairie Institute, so do stay tuned to see the "unfurling" of new and exciting trainings, workshops & retreats. Thank you trainers for bringing your best to the students over these years: Marilyn Magnuson, Jennifer Buchanan, Marja Cantell, Connie Allcock, Karen Daniels, Dara Dines, Rosann Whale, Andrea Halwas, and Mallory Minerson. Thank you students for saying yes to your call to the expressive arts path and trusting Prairie Institute for your learning. Thank you for filling our spaces with images, sounds, poems, and embodied creative works of all kinds! Thank you to all the graduates of Level 1 & 2 for bringing the message and spirit of the arts out to your communities. I have been deeply moved and inspired by the witnessing of the gifts that each student has brought to our trainings. These I will miss most: the heart to heart connections that are cultivated over the course of the training; the witnessing of the deepening belief in their gifts; and the "showing up with love". One of PIEAT's trainers (thank you Rosann) sent me this following poem, Continue by Maya Angelou, in response to learning the news of closing the Level 1 & 2. It has deep meaning for me and I believe touches the hearts of many.... Here is to a year of openings, closings and inspired change of all kinds.... Carmen Richardson carmenr@telusplant.net
