EXPRESSIVE KAVANNAH
Expressive Kavannah is a personal creative process I developed in my art
studio, inspired by Expressive Arts Therapy, the wisdom of Torah and the
Kabbalah mystical tradition. The word "Kavannah" means “focused intention”
and invites participants on a spiritual journey of identity and creativity.
I facilitate Expressive Kavannah in a supportive group framework for developing growth and self-awareness.
We combine art modalities and meditation to provide a profound therapeutic and educational experience.
The book I wrote and published describing this model,
Expressive Kavannah: Creativity, Meaning and Healing,
is available as a paperback and e-book on Amazon.com
Here are some of the photos which appear in the book.
Each person's work is as original as the person who created it.
TESTIMONIALS
"It was a privilege to hear how other members of the group were wrestling with concerns of all kinds and then to watch how the work of their hands
helped to heal their hearts - just as my work was doing for me.” -- L.C.
"Expressive Kavannah has enriched my life over the years by connecting me to powerful images and words within. I always write a poem or a few lines on the back of my pieces. Some of the images are "core" to my being and soul mission." -- R.S.
"You have created a way to return the creative birthright of Judaism to the ordinary Jew. For someone seeking meaning who may not be 'learned', 'religious' or 'artistic' you have paved a middle way for them to walk toward meaning in a very profound way." -- P.A.
