ADVANCED INTENSIVE CREATIVE ARTS THERAPY CERTIFICATE PROGRAM 2014~2015 

An experiential exploration of the therapeutic use of the arts. This program is valuable to anyone wishing to integrate the arts into their personal or professional practice, including therapists, healers, coaches, educators and artists.Instructors will be dynamic experts in each area. Website under construction at www.wheatinstitute.com 

 Weaving art processes into clinical and counseling work greatly expands the capacity to articulate–with fullness and specificity–what lies buried within us, by using each modality as it is called for in the unfolding process. As both therapist and client work with these healing multi-arts processes, the creative spirit is aroused and the therapeutic process itself is experienced as art. ~ Kate Donohue 

The Advanced ICAT Program includes the following five 2-day workshops along with two 3-day workshops with Kate Donohue. Courses run Saturdays and Sundays 10-4; Group Supervision with Darci Adam 4-6.

TWO 2-day workshopswith KateDonohue

Dream Weaver: A Jungian Approach to Symbol and Expressive Arts Therapy November 8-9 | 2014 

A kinship naturally exists between expressive arts therapy and Jungian Psychology. Both are image-based approaches to understanding and healing the psyche and each 

emphasizes the symbolic process in its own unique fashion. This course weaves together the theory and practice of both these approaches into a Jungian-oriented expressive arts healing tapestry of images, emotions, understanding and transformation. The class explores the basic concepts of Jungian psychology and compares and contrasts them to expressive arts theory. 

Urban Shaman: Exploring the Indigenous Roots of Expressive Arts Therapy February 21-22 | 2015 

Through honoring indigenous roots, expressive arts therapy strives to bring the healing power of the arts back into therapy education, consultation and social justice work. In this course, we will explore the roots of expressive arts therapy by researching and experiencing cultural arts-based rituals and discovering how they could be used for modern-day healing.

Community /// send + receive with Michelle Boulé (NY) + Cellist Okkyung Lee (KR)

SEND + RECEIVE v16

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4

Media Hub, 72 Princess St. 3rd fl.

7:30 door / 8 pm start / $15 entry

Cellist Okkyung Lee (KR) may be one of the hardest working artist in improv, working with luminaries such as John Zorn, Evan Parker, and Thurston Moore to name a few. To conclude v16 Okkyung performs in her exceptional duo project with New York-based choreographer / dancer Michelle Boulé. Together they create a spontaneously defined performance space using music, dance, and light. These elements are set into motion by the vehicle of improvisation where perception of form shifts, and a new dimension of performance opens.
