What you'll learn in this self improvement class:

A Walk in the Woods: Working with Nature, Movement, and Art in Therapy


Visit Cold Spring in the Hudson Valley for an afternoon of artmaking and movement in nature.

After a short walk in the woods near our Cold Spring studio, we will use natural found objects and materials to make our mark and playfully move with the surrounding elements to enhance group connection. This workshop will include a didactic component on how to integrate movement and art in clinical practice, and will draw on concepts from Land Art and Eco/Nature Therapy to engage mindfulness, creativity and awareness of oneself in the world. 

This course will explore the clinical integration of art and movement into the therapeutic space. The course will primarily be experiential in nature and will incorporate the use of objects found in nature to create a piece of art work which reflects connection to self and environment. Movement will be incorporated to develop an embodied response to the art making process. 

The discussion will include explanations of how to incorporate art and movement into clinical practice effectively and ethically.


Workshop Teaching Modalities:

  1. Presentation on the definitions and use of Movement/Dance Therapy, Art Therapy, and Eco-Nature Therapy.
  2. Hands-on experience of searching for objects in nature to create an art piece and use movement to deepen the therapeutic experience.
  3. Discussion of best practices for incorporating art and movement into clinical practice.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Explain what Creative Arts Therapy is and describe at least three ways that art and movement can be incorporated into the clinical space
  2. Identify the benefits of using nature, art, and movement as tools to decrease stress, encourage play and increase connections between self and environment.
  3. Describe personal experiences of using art making and movement to deepen awareness of self. 
  4. Understand ways in which non-verbal, creative activities can be used to safely support and increase interpersonal connectedness.
  5. Describe the possibilities and limitations of the use of the arts in therapy for mental health professionals of other disciplines.

What to bring: 

  • Water bottle, snack, walking or hiking shoes, hat or sunscreen. 
  • We will provide bug spray to share.
