Creative Tools for Psychedelic Practitioners: An Art-Based Workshop at The Shulgin Farm 3 CECs
Facilitated by PATN co-founders, Licensed Art Therapists Rebecca Wilkinson, LPC, LCPAT, ATR-BC and Alyssa Gursky, LPC
Come join this hands-on workshop for psychedelic practitioners and learn how to use concrete art techniques during different phases of the healing process. Through interactive teaching, experiential exercises, and guided conversations with peers, you'll learn how to facilitate art-based creative practices and talk about imagery in ways that help people find their own meaning (rather than us projecting our interpretations onto their work). We'll pay special attention to a "process over product" approach. No creative or artistic background needed.
This workshop is for psychedelic therapists and mental health practitioner who want to feel confident safely and ethically incorporating creative tools within their scope of practice.
