About the Class:
Somatic Art, Drawing & Art Therapy-
Somatic Art Drawing & Art Therapy - This is a workshop for self-discovery. We will work together to connect through Somatic Art. We will access areas where the individual may be blocked from their artistic expression and how to find a deeper connection through artistic communication. Using tools from EMDR/Bilateral Stimulation, Enneagram Typing/Character types, and IBSR Somatic mapping, each participant will create a deeper CREATIVE connection with themselves and others.
We will remove unhealthy stress and open the artist's palette to physical expressions of color, mental descriptors, and balancing of the art/science part of our brain, or organized side while opening it up to the fully self-expressed side. We will remove barriers to creativity and discover what artwork best suits you.
We will help participants recognize their strengths as well as uncover the blind spots that they bring to life. This workshop will be invaluable if you want to improve your creative side and find areas that block you.
Pre-req's teacher will send some materials via email for participants to fill out at least 24 hours before class. Participants will bring, tissue, a journal, favorite pens, pencils, and markers.

Artist Bio: Judi Moolten is a retired trauma behavioral specialist. Judi spent 20-plus years as a social worker and clinical director for nonprofits before she opened her own mental health training facility that she ran until COVID hit. Prior to COVID, she traveled the world training clinicians in the most advanced somatic psychology processing tools available. Now retired from the Mental health profession as a licensed clinician, she has found a way to disrupt behavioral health and the art world by bringing what was once used only in a clinical setting to treat unhealthy stress to the mainstream. Judi occasionally teaches, coaches, and supervises clinicians and non-mental health professionals in stress that leads to trauma. She also teaches real estate agents how to apply stress-reducing tools to the art of communication between buyers and sellers of property. She owns her own Real Estate Firm, Grateful Mindset Properties, where she serves WNC & beyond with a grateful mindset and volunteers for many nonprofits in the area as a charity liaison and more. In addition, she has a weekly radio show combining, art, science, and a tad of real estate. Where she has local guests, local news, and local culture live on air Saturday mornings at 9:00 am, on 107.7 FM.
