EXAF in Continuing Education

Stoppages in continuing education training settings benefit from imaginary space and alternative world experiences

Trainees can find real life solutions through unexpected and unpredictable experiences that are affective, sensory based and playful 

Expressive Arts Focusing EXAF brings about such experiences. Experiential Felt Arts from the body sense can open up to shifts in structure-bound learning and experiencing that otherwise stay stuck

The process is carried forward through circular loops of aesthetic experiencing, expressing and finding meaning. The outcome is improvement in self-regulation and self-empowerment

EXAF Hands-on Methods We Use

In EXAF-based continuing education, we use a variety of hands-on methods that are tailored to the educational or training setting and its topics, issues, and target audiences

 

  • Embodied Doodling: Energizing the body through spontaneous repetitive art activities, releasing stress and grounding

  • Felt Art Journaling: Processing difficult emotions, issues or intentions through multiple layers of artistic expression from the body sense

  • Experiential Museum Art-Based Engagement/Receptive Art Therapy: Receptive-active art activities, responding to fine arts from the art sense (Paolo Bianchi), finding aesthetic connection and deeper meaning

  • Experiential Collaging (Prof. Dr. Akira Ikemi), Phototherapy (Prof. Dr. Kathrin Seifert): Finding and exploring meaning through action-oriented art expression using inside-out and outside-in felt sensing

  • Experiential Dynamic Shape Drawing (DSD): Getting focused through drawing rhythmical moving and swinging lines along the rhythm of breathing, using Lombard Braid Patterns (Anthroposophical Art Therapy)

  • Bilateral Body Mapping/Guided Drawing®: Release intense body feelings, emotions and trauma (Sensorimotor Art Therapy®)
