We will be using art materials and  experiential exercises to explore our creative process as practitioners, and  to increase insight and understanding  in our work with clients. Finally,  we will explore the use of creativity in Supervision and how it can reflect,  illuminate and bring fresh awareness to our process. No artistic skill  necessary; please approach the workshop with a ‘beginners mind’!   All materials will be  provided for use during the session.
