“The Prescott College Expressive Art Therapy Summer Institute provides a remarkable
opportunity to become immersed in the expressive arts, among participants from
around the world, guided by renowned leaders in the field. Over my two weeks there, I
was most struck, however, by the way that this all took place in such a lovely, thoughtfully
created, and supportive environment. I left feeling inspired, deeply nourished, and
grateful to have had this experience.”

Workshop Descriptions
Intentions and Aspirations for the Self and Community
– Camille Smith & Pat B. Allen – July 22 (1–4 p.m.)
Engage in the Open Studio Process of creating intention, making art, and
engaging in witness dialoging with imagery. Intentions for self, community,
and the Institute will emerge and guide the experience of the journey to
come; creating a bridge that carries through to the Institute closing. This
process serves as a foundation for interactions between each individual and
their art as well as sets the standard for non-judgmental, non-analytical
encounters with all that is created within the overall Institute program.
Spirit Wands – Kat Kirby – July 31 (9 a.m.–1 p.m.)
If you have ever felt that a magic wand might be helpful in your life, here's
your chance to create one of your very own. Participants will use sticks,
yarn, feathers, shells, beads and more to create this special spirit wand.
Meditative and fun, participants will enjoy infusing their wand with an
intention, a wish, or an affirmation. Be sure to bring any special items you
might want to include in your wand.
The Power of Tribe: Open Studio Process in
Group and Community Work
– Pat B. Allen – July 23-24 (9 a.m.–4 p.m.)
This experiential workshop deepens the introduction to the
Open Studio Process provided in the EATSI. In addition to
being an individual practice of connection to our deepest
creativity and inner wisdom, the OSP is being used in group
and community formation and direction. This workshop will
provide an opportunity to work together in pairs and small
groups organized around a common purpose, image, or
interest. The critical act of forming a consensual shared
intention is a precursor of creative breakthrough and genuine
social change. Organizing in partnerships or small tribes,
participants share and deepen their response to a social,
therapeutic, organizational, or ecological issue and harvest
solutions, new forms, performances, and action plans to share
with the larger EATSI community. Special attention is given
to the Seat of the Shadow, the aspect of each of us that
remains unconsciously (or consciously) invested in our own
story over all others.
The Creative Bridge
– Camille Smith
August 5 (10 a.m.–4 p.m.)
As we bring the Institute to a close,
the rich learning, the development
of skills, and the inspiration leading
to action are all integrated.
Conscious cultivation of gratitude
will inform our reflection and
integration of the many gifts
received throughout the Institute.
Using a variety of creative modalities,
we will honor the individual
and collective experiences of
Institute participants and ground
the learning for personal and
professional practice in the future.
Integrating the Power of
Music and Sound
– Anne Parker
August 1-2 (9 a.m.–4 p.m.)
Music and sound speak directly to the soul
and spirit as well as having immediate
effects on the mind, body, and emotions.
Music is a natural and primal form of
expression for people of all abilities, ages,
and cultures. This workshop explores the
therapeutic use of music and sound through
music-making and music-listening using
voice, instruments, and recorded music.
Participants learn about the effects of sound
and music on the body and brain as well as
basic skills to engage clients in therapeutic
music expression and activity. Applications
for various client populations and integrating
music and sound into other arts therapy
modalities will also be explored.
Courage, Compassion, Connection, and Creativity: Exploring the Edge
– Camille Smith – July 25-27 (9 a.m.–4 p.m.)
The creative process asks us to be in a place of vulnerability, as does the therapeutic process for
the clients we serve. In her 2010 book, The Gifts of Imperfection, Bren´ e Brown explores the edge
of vulnerability; that place where we either retreat into fear or discover the wellspring of love and
connection. With mindfulness meditation and yoga as our foundation, we will dig deep into the
elements that contribute to personal and collective wellness. Art making, movement, performance,
poetry, and storytelling will shape our exploration of the nature of compassion, gratitude,
resiliency, joy, and other aspects of living wholeheartedly. As we come to understand our own
wellness we also learn how to support and guide those we serve. Participants are encouraged to
read The Gifts of Imperfection prior to the EATSI.
Movement Matters: Dignity in Body and Psyche – Debra McCall
July 28-30 (10 a.m.–5 p.m. Sat/Sun) & (9 a.m.–4 p.m. Mon)
Mohamed Bouazizi was a fruit vendor who had worked his entire life to support his
sisters and mother in a rural Tunisian village. He suffered years of humiliation and
harassment at the hands of the local police who regularly confiscated his goods and then
extorted money. One day, after being slapped by a policewoman, he set himself on fire as
a final act of protest. His despair ignited the Arab Spring revolution that brought down
the repressive regimes of Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya and has fueled revolts across the
Middle East. The theme of his predicament – despair and dignity – run through protests
from Wisconsin and Occupy Wall Street to Greece, Spain, Italy and Russia.
There are somatic, psychological and moral implications to unjust economic policies, to
the schism of opportunity between the ruling class and the rest, to increasing suspension
of civil and human rights. This workshop will address the impact of loss of dignity
through archetypal psychology, readings, art, and movement. We shall also enact how we
redress grievances against injustice to make ourselves stronger, more whole and able to
enact the core values we cherish.
The Art of Happiness – Cathy Malchiodi
August 3-4 (9 a.m.–4 p.m. Friday) & (10 a.m.–5 p.m. Saturday)
This workshop explores the connections between the expressive arts and positive
psychology. Through art making, writing, and mindfulness practices, participants will
experience how gratitude, empathy, connection to others, and self-compassion can create
sustainable happiness. We will also examine and discuss how these practices can sustain
happiness in the lives of clients as well as how these collective practices affect larger
systems – families, communities and our planet.

“During my time at EATSI, I learned about my part in the creative community. I enjoyed dancing around like a
busy honeybee, seeking out my elders, fellow innovators, my 'rock star' gardeners, nurturing the seeds of our hearts,
stirring the pot, taking time to simmer and be still. I discovered, like a sunflower, I am a flower among many —
creating and remaking who and what we are, every day.”
Diane Lowrie
