I don’t often get to share my work outside of the therapeutic space, but I’m really proud of this show “A Wall is Just Another Door” AND I CAN TALK ABOUT IT! • I was brought on as a Drama Therapist (thank you @cre8tivmom) in the beginning stages of the 8 week process to run workshops with a group of LA teens and LAPD police officers hoping to bridge the divide of mistrust, misunderstanding, and assumptions that often places the two groups at odds. The result is a show that speaks to larger systemic issues of social justice, freedom and power. The final performances culminating from an intensive residency are happening tomorrow Saturday 8/10! The group is doing incredibly brave and vulnerable work by sharing stories and building human connections. The space they create for art, dialogue and healing is hopeful at a time when our country and world feel so bleak. • If you want to be moved and inspired or need a pick me up, go see it tomorrow! If you can’t, you can always donate to support the program $$$ as it grows into its 2nd year @fountaintheatre. • I’m incredibly inspired by @freetheoperkins and @logicstarr for the brilliant and beautiful show; and @fountaintheatre, @hollywoodpal, @lapdhollywood & @lacitycollege theater academy for their collaboration. 🗣 🗣 🗣
Allow your mistakes to guide and lead you! When mistakes are met with shame and guilt, we implode and miss out on any opportunity for learning and growth. When mistakes are met with curiosity, acceptance, and self-compassion, we expand in the most beautiful of ways. Practice making mistakes and allowing yourself to shift your pattern with them. It gets easier. Be the Fool. • #dramatherapy #creativeartstherapy #losangelestherapist #embodiedhealing • #Repost @culturestrike ・・・ #Repost @gisellebuchanan ・・・ I know sometimes we are taught to put an emphasis on being perfect, attempting with accuracy, getting it right. But in my experience, the greatest discoveries I’ve reached have happened when I had something else in mind. Vision is important, but don’t be so stubborn as to believe there isn’t equal beauty in arriving at a place you didn’t imagine.
We’ve had an incredible late spring/early summer session! Thank you to everyone who joined in the group and explored with such openness, curiosity and creativity. We will be taking a break on the Tuesday night group until the Fall. (Summer schedules being unpredictable and all.) Looking forward to gathering again soon. • #dramatherapy #losangelesworkshops #grouptherapy #expressiveartstherapy
