Time for a change?
Welcome to Creative Action Seminars, Experiential Movement Therapy workshops, developed by Andrew Krichels. At your Creative Action workshop you'll learn techniques designed to ground, release and integrate trauma; showing you how to live a more centered healing life ... oh and you'll have a lot of fun too!
The name is Creative-Action, but what does creativity really mean? Everyone has a creative spark in them. If you've always believed "I'm not creative," don't worry, we'll help you become curious about your creativity, showing how to make it the foundation of life-long healing and growth.
And action? well that's because we're going to actually do stuff! This goal-oriented process will provide personalized tools and techniques to integrate into your daily life, giving you the means to continue life-long healing.
“The body always leads us home... if we can simply learn to trust the sensation and stay with it long enough for it to reveal appropriate action, movement, insight, or feeling.”
Pat Ogden
The Right Next Step Group
A unique combination of movement, body work, and experiential therapy--NOT a dance or exercise class!
Workshops address desired life changes through movement, experiential and psychodramatic therapeutic techniques.
The essentials of Experiential Movement Therapy are covered in every workshop. Each workshop is tailored to specific needs and can be modified in length.
Finding and maintaining a true Center
Chinese Medical Qi Gong, visualization and breathing techniques are used to purge anxiety and trauma blocks. Each participant then selects several specific exercises to create a bespoke daily practice.
Locating Personal Triggers
Our bodies remember everything and give us warning signs like lights on the dashboard. Participants will experience and learn many techniques including body correctives and core work, to find trigger points before they cause injury. Locating one’s triggers and developing simple release mechanisms promotes a life of action rather than reaction.
Authentic Collaboration
After establishing one’s own center, we can relate to another person in an authentic way. Breaking out into small groups a variety of activities such as writing, body movement, and drawing, we map our experiences to discover the Next Right Step. Small groups create intertwined walking maps of their experiences, being centered and grounded on their own path, and sharing it through the creative process with in a trusted community.
Have fun!
While dealing with serious personal, spiritual, and societal issues one can have fun, laugh, and embrace their inner child. The workshop culminates in a Festival of jointly created artistic composition, with each participant contributing within their own comfort zone.
Due to the challenges associated with Covid-19 and because many of our clients would fall into the high risk category, we are currently only offering virtual workshops.
