GROUP WORKSHOPS
You have great ideas! Let’s create a plan.
This is a chance to get creative with a structure, setting, theme, and purpose for a workshop that you envision. We can talk through possibilities, starting with the care and spirit behind your interest, and ultimately designing a plan and schedule that feels right for your goals.
PROCESS-ONLY WORKSHOP: These workshops use the original spirit of Expressive Arts, in which the open-ended creative process is a tool for self-discovery, dialogue, team-building, and community care. The process is the point. Individuals may keep what they create, but the intent is not to finalize or display the art.
COLLABORATIVE ART WORKSHOP: In this option, participants benefit from the creative process described above, and also contribute to a finished visual art project comprised of all the participants’ expressions—each one an important piece of the meaningful whole. The final collaborative art project, digitally composed and printed (by me), could then be displayed as a valuable symbol and representation of the participants’ shared creative journey.
Groups who could benefit from either type of workshop:
youth group gathering after school or at a youth center
students, faculty, and/or staff at a school or college
parent/guardians needing support, self-care, and youth/family development
seniors at an assisted living or memory care unit
inter-generational participants at a wellness center
support group for victims, addicts, grieving, care-givers, etc.
public servants in healthcare, education, safety, etc.
patients in any kind of treatment
college students managing stress or indecision
leadership, business, industry, science, arts, or sports teams
yoga or wellness class participants
attendees at a community or cause event
Contact me with your ideas and questions, and we can develop a plan.
Happy Current is composed of “happy doodles” from hundreds of participants of all ages. This example of the COLLABORATIVE ART WORKSHOP represents the flow of positive energy always available for giving and receiving.
INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
Individual Expressive Arts Sessions
These are gently-guided, one-to-one meetings that aim to empower individuals with knowledge, awareness, experience, and skills for using Focusing and your own unique creative expression.
These sessions (typically 2 hours) are based on the premise that your creativity and inner felt sense have a lot to offer. Meetings are not psychotherapy—but they can be helpful for people in any situation or life chapter: children, teens, adults, seniors; anyone going through something difficult, in recovery or a healing process, facing a transition, managing decisions, stress, or everyday life, seeking deeper self-awareness or connectedness with others, working on a creative project, or any other reason.
I can come to you! Meeting location can be in-home, at a facility/hospital/center, virtual, or any other agreed location.
CREATIVE DESIGN SERVICES
I am available for freelance creative and design work on projects and causes that help the well-being of others — education, the arts, non-profits, wellness centers, care facilities, community, and any cause for the greater good.
I am particularly drawn to projects that also involve the creative expression of others. This might be collaging hand-made drawings/writing from kids, developing a plan for a mural or public artwork, designing a logo, creating a campaign, or helping anything you might be envisioning to become a finished reality.
You can see some examples of my design work in my design gallery.
Healing Arts Workshop
This was a virtual meeting for Melrose Alliance Against Violence in which ten participants used artistic expression to connect with their inner wisdom and cultivate a deeper sense of peace and strength. Basic concepts of expressive arts, Focusing, and resonating were introduced.
Daily Reflection Creativity Workshop
This meeting at The Bridge Recovery Center in Malden, MA focused on using expressive arts to gain deeper meaning and share perspectives about the Daily Reflection topic for May 22: The Power of We. This was a lovely workshop with seven wonderful participants that I would love to run again. We are currently seeking funding to continue this work.
Brave Hearts Academy
This Tri-Town Council Horizons after-school program for grades K-3 focused on social-emotional learning through creative activities, games, and discussions. Topics included emotional awareness, regulation, courage, self esteem, friendship, and growth mindset.
Youth brought creative work home after each class, but emphasis was on learning through process, not on creating finished products.
I enjoyed teaching this program in winter and spring 2026.
PhotoVoice
This after-school, youth-directed program for grades 7-12 is offered in partnership with Tri-Town Council: tritowncouncil.org. In winter and spring 2026, middle school members explored photography, writing, painting, and other arts to create and express youth voice about what matters to them.
In this program, youth do a lot of process work, and then ultimately decide on some expressions they want to finalize and display. Work can be individual or collaborative. In 2026 the team completed nine finished art pieces that express their unique perspective about what it takes to live healthy, meaningful lives—touching on topics such as empathy, friendship, patience, work ethic, beauty, self-expression, self-care, and emotional control. Their voices blend deep commentary with lighthearted spirit.
Their series was displayed at the Youth At Risk (YAR) Conference held at Endicott College in May, and will be displayed throughout the Tri-Town community in the coming months.

Well Creativity Workshop
This after-school program for middle school youth explored the connection between creativity and wellness through open-ended prompts, time with various art materials, reflection, and discussions.
Youth were free to follow their unfolding creative sense, collaborate, and choose any media they wanted to explore—photography, video production, dramatic acting, drawing, painting, crafting, and found objects. They created games and activities, and explored their curiosity throughout the local community.
This workshop was a PROCESS-ONLY WORKSHOP about the insight and strategies gained from going through the creative process, not producing a finished product.
Basic concepts of the creative attitude, felt sense, resonance, Focusing, and inter-modal unfolding were explored.
