AUM WORKSHOPS
Life experiences in the form of anxiety, stress, daily challenges, and trauma occur in a myriad of ways. Attempting to control our outer circumstances is a survival tactic we all often use, and living in survival mode impacts our nervous system. We become out of balance and this increases our anxiety and our ability to think clearly or feel productive.
Creativity, expression, and imagination are used as AUM's doorway into health and well-being. Self-expression through artistic play naturally restores body-brain balance, revives and regulates our nervous system, and returns us to a place of calm and vitality on the inside. AUM workshops help individuals build resilience, strengthen immunity and experience greater connection within themselves and with others.
​
AUM workshops are designed and led by a team of professionals:
Educators, Artists, and Board Certified Expressive Arts Therapists
AUM workshops bridge the latest in neuropsychology with the power of creativity and exploration. Our evidence-driven approach not only provides participants meaningful exposure to artistic expression, but also improves mental health and emotional well-being with lasting results.
Because people of all ages can benefit from our innovative approach, we work with children and adults alike in a variety of settings including businesses, schools, and community based organizations.
Research has shown that artistic expression and the creative process enhance cognitive abilities, foster greater self-awareness, help regulate emotions and improve focus, problem-solving, and decision-making.
That's why we utilize a variety of artistic disciplines including:​​
-
ART
-
DRAMA
-
MUSIC
-
MINDFUL MOVEMENT
-
EXPRESSIVE DANCE

SEL helps individuals develop the knowledge to understand their emotions and the skills to manage them.
SEL fundamentals boost empathy, emotional intelligence, and improve overall well-being.

Our wellness workshops educate participants in the science behind the brain/body connection.

You taught us so much about how to improve our self care.
I love how you not only taught us strategies to help us feel better, but also talked about science as well.
