Expressive Arts & Dreamwork
Our imaginations blend with and shape our reality in the world of expressive arts. We can achieve self-understanding, personal growth, and increased inner awareness through a variety of methods in the arts: visual arts, drama, music, dance, as well as poetry, story-writing and other literary forms.
AffinityWorks incorporates dreamwork into this process, encouraging clients to keep a written and visual journal of both daydreams and nightdreams. All dreaming is an invitation to explore the messages inherent in our own creative energies, and expressive arts allow deep, reflective examination of the symbols, archetypes, and answers held within our dreams.
The creations that manifest as result of this process are both cathartic and enlightening. They are expressions of the inner self, and are not concerned with issues of aesthetics or craft. Expressive arts exist as a powerful vehicle for our imaginations and a tool for increased awareness and self-knowledge. They are the method by which we speak to our own conflicts and pain, and forge a new path to our hopes and dreams.
