Skills development
'The Certificate Course in Expressive Therapies with Children and Adolescents, Somatic Focussed, Creative Counselling for Emotional Integration'.
This unique Course was created by Mark Pearson and Helen Wilson at the Expressive Therapies Institute of Australia.
Life and death - a star dies in a supernova and new life is created from its ashes - potentially, everything is a symbol.
We may be surprised by the wisdom we discover for ourselves through symbols from other cultures and times.
