Expressive Arts Healing Workshop

This workshop is for adults living with chronic illness or pain. The intention of this workshop is to offer time and space to deeply listen to the inherent wisdom of the body. We will feel, play, and express our creativity through art, movement, sounding, writing and sculpture. Creativity serves as a catalyst and enables a release of emotional issues from living with disease in our bodies and our cultures. Using creativity and art as feed-back loops, we gain insight into our personal and cultural healing myths.

Myths are our beliefs; they impact how we think, feel and relate to ourselves, our disabilities and others. Over the six weeks, we will explore myths that hinder our healing, work with letting go of these maladaptive myths, and open our psyches and bodies to the influence of changing myths.

We will use mindfulness meditation combined with the creative process to guide visualizations that encourage the emergence of meaningful and congruent healing myths.

Healing is a continuum, and wherever we are on that continuum, there we are. What ultimately influences this continuum are love and compassion and the meanings we ascribe to our experiences.

Nichole Warwick MA & CEAT
I hold a Master of Arts Degree in Psychology with concentrations in Consciousness and Spirituality as well as Integrative Health Studies. I am also a Certified Expressive Arts Therapist trained in Person-Centered Psychotherapy, offering individual and group therapy to the community for over five years.

My relationship with this work is personally intimate. I have been living with chronic pain and illness for over eight years. I understand all too well the grief, depression, isolation and marginalization that affects life with disability.

Illness has affected my life since I was a child being raised by a disabled mother. Now, I am the mother living with disease and raising children. The cyclical nature of my relationship with disease and illness has revealed to me a deeper meaning. I have lived through the Dark Night of the Soul and have emerged transformed as a wounded healer.

It is my honor to facilitate a healing space where we feel safe enough to do deep and meaningful healing. My role will be to facilitate the group process, create a non-judgmental, empathic, and compassionate space, and journey with you along your path of healing.
