Exploring the role of the imagination and the expressive arts in psychological and spiritual change, and in renewing our relationship with the Earth.
"There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action; and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost."
Martha Graham (dancer and choreographer
