Continuing Professional Development 

Upcoming dates:

Therapy & Creativity – making space for the imagination
Online 10am-5pm Saturday 7 December
with Sarah Van Gogh

Open to Re-Vision students, qualified counsellors or therapists.

“If you bring forth that which is within you, then that which is within you will save you. If you do not bring forth that which is within you, then that which is within you may destroy you.” Gospel according to St Thomas

In an age of CORE assessments, research aimed at proving efficacy, and targets for funding, the playful, creative nature of a therapeutic encounter can sometimes be too easily lost. This workshop will explore the vital importance of accessing creative and imaginative forces in therapeutic work.

There will be plenty of space for experiential participation and sharing. As well as opportunities to be playful and feel nourished, there will be space to think about how we can make clinical use of what arises from the day.

Time: Online 10am-5pm Date: Saturday 7 December
Fee: £100 To Book: email info@re-vision.org.uk including your:
