Expressive Writing & Journaling
Workshops & Specialty Track at the LA Summit
THE EXPRESSIVE THERAPIES SUMMIT HEADS WEST
For seven years, the Expressive Therapies Summit has brought extraordinary experiential continuing education to New York City. Featuring all the arts and play therapies in a single event, over 900 professionals, students, artists, and interested others from over a dozen countries have gathered annually for this uniquely multimodal and multidisciplinary opportunity. Now, in collaboration with UCLArts & Healing, we've added a west coast Summit to our annual calendar.
