It got me thinking out how each body might look different depending on my mood and if i could find beauty in the ones that are negative moods.

By Sakshi Kalra on 11/8/2020

There were enough good ideas to work with and learn but the presentation could be much better. Also, real videos instead of slides or animation would be more helpful. Some of the topics seemed redundant.
The animation is mostly distracting. The text color on slides is too light to read many times. Some of the resources are not pdf or png so not usable.

By Sandy Goranson on 10/22/2020

Pretty basic. The getting started resources make it less i intimidating. .

By Roshni on 10/17/2020

I enjoyed the course to the fullest, it was so much fun getting to know myself a lot through art that I love doing. Every exercise was helpful in it's own way

I am a conscious dance wellness facilitator and sound journey gongmaster, so this course is incredible because it is allowing me to explore the tangible creative space, where I've mostly experienced moving mutable creation through movement and sound. I am finding the instructions and explanations fantastically clear and useful, because I do aim to work with clients in the future, either in workshop settings incorporating movement, music, and creative expression or as part of a one to one sound journey wellness meditative session, and I can already see how useful learning arts therapy will be for my personal journey and then ultimately to better help my clients in the future.
