We believe creating art is a form of communication not constrained by language or skill that builds safety, resilience, trust, and hope and creates lasting change. A Window Between Worlds’ transformative healing arts program is a growing resource for advocates, teachers, social workers, case managers, therapists, and community organizers dedicated to transforming the trauma that sits in our bodies, relationships, communities, and systems.
What you’ll experience at our two-day facilitator training:
• Presentations by licensed clinicians with discussions on trauma-informed care, intersectionality, cultural responsiveness, and oppression as a form of trauma
• Six hands-on art workshops, giving you the opportunity to experience healing through creative expression as a participant
• Space to vision new ways art can serve to address individual, community, and/or national trauma, inviting change from the cellular to the systemic
• A deeper understanding of the value of the creative process, how to build safety and connection with your participants, and the practice of listening • Tips for facilitating with different age groups, including working with families
• Ideas for using low-barrier art supplies
• Familiarizing yourself with the AWBW model and resources available to you
