The Workbook
Would you like to use the arts therapeutically, but don’t know where to start?
Rebecca has put together 21 of our most used, tried-and-true Healing Arts exercises in The Healing Arts Workbook. We want you to try these out in your setting and experience the connection, creativity that the Healing Arts Method can offer within a Safe Space.
The Healing Arts Workbook (2023) is available for purchase in print and in Kindle on Amazon.
Frequently asked questions
Is Healing Arts the same as art therapy?
No. Healing arts is an arts-based, trauma-informed method to use alongside your professional certification, whether that is counseling, teaching, or community work. Healing Arts alone does not qualify you to practice “therapy.”
Do I need to be a good artist to sign up?
No! One of the main principles of the Healing Arts method is “Process over product”. You do not need to be a good artist, you need to be willing to try, to explore, and to be authentic as you process your creations.
I missed the last training! When will there be another?
We offer virtual trainings (Levels 1 and 2) at liest twice a year. These are posted to our social media and website.
Rebecca and team also lead in-person training intensives on location when the interest arises. Contact us directly if you’re interested in attending an on-site training event.
