What's coming up at Kardon's Self-Care Series: in Philadelphia, PA

[Guest guest]

Dear Creative Arts Therapists,Think for a minute about what it was that made you decide to work in the arts. Was it a love of music? A passion for dancing? A desire to create artwork? Are you still connected to that artist in your work as a therapist? Here’s a brief preview of our next workshop in the Self-Care Series. February features Horowitz for an evening devoted to reconnecting to your artistic passion. We meet the first Thursday of every month to focus on caring for ourselves so that we are more grounded and nurtured when we work. The workshops are $10 per person, start at 7PM, end at 8:30PM and count toward continuing education credits for art therapists, dance/movement therapists and music therapists. More details can be found under the “about” tab on our website, click on “News & Events” www.kardoninstitute.org As always, feel free to forward this to interested colleagues.February 4, 2010, 7-8:30PM : “Nurturing Your Musical Self”During this workshop, we will explore how we use music (and other modalities) in our daily life, and will focus primarily on how we experience music outside of our work as therapists.
