We shared an enriching, creative time with Freda Blob presenting Introduction to Expressive Arts Focusing (ExAF) Hands-on Methods: Finding Ground in Experiential Arts. It was deeply fulfilling to listen to Freda’s history in Focusing and the arts, learn about Gendlin’s philosophy of “the More” and participate in an Experiential Museum Art-Based Engagement (MAE) with artist Hilma af Klint’s work– along with interactive sharing and questions.
Participant highlight:
What did you most enjoy about the event? “Loving sharing of the participants and wonderful leading of Kate.”
“It was wonderful to hear Kate’s roots in expressive arts, how IEATA began, and learn about the connections between expressive arts and Jungian Psychology. Great experiential exercises and sharing!”
