Trauma narrows our ability to express, to feel alive, and to dream. Words alone are not enough to fully capture—or transform— these embodied experiences.The Tamalpa Life/Art Process® offers a unique path to healing. By integrating movement, drawing, and creative writing, this approach invites us to speak the language of the body and give shape to what lies beneath the surface. Through creative exploration, participants learn to recognize and release held patterns, engage imagination as a resource, and rebuild connections with themselves and others.In this workshop series, you will:<ul><li>Explore how trauma lives in the body and how arts and movement can support release, regulation, and renewal.</li><li>Connect with the creative body as a resource for resilience, discovering new possibilities for expression and healing.</li><li>Engage in guided individual explorations and group processes that foster connection and creativity.</li></ul>This 3-hour workshop combines theory, practice, and artistic engagement, offering practical tools you can integrate into both personal and professional life.Who is this for?<ul><li>Therapists, coaches, and educators who want to bring body-based and creative tools into their practice.</li><li>Practitioners seeking new approaches to trauma beyond conventional talk therapy.</li><li>Individuals longing to reconnect with their bodies, creativity, and sense of possibility.</li></ul> Rosario Sammartino PhD is a leading therapist and educator in the intersecting fields of expressive arts, somatics and depth psychology.
