Creative conference coming up soon: 
The Creative Therapies in the Helping Relationship: Psychotherapy and Spiritual Care

Please join me, Michelle April, at this special Saint Paul University conference as I facilitate a creativity-based workshop(s) intended for helping professionals.
​

Intimacy with Nature: Art, nature and the sacred dialogue  Participants will experience an art-based dialogue with natural objects providing a means to self-care and higher-level attunement both with their own natures and with the essence of “other” in healing relationships.

The conference will be held March 8-10, 2018.

What to bring: Bring yourself. Bring a journalling notebook and pen. Bring yourself wearing old clothes because we are making art. Also, and only if inclined, bring something personal to the workshop that 'stands out to you'. Have you saved an old letter, is there a special photo that you gravitate toward? Is there a recurring thought or idea that you are attached to? Bring it! No worries if nothing jumps out at you. Your presence is all that is actually needed.
