“Going on a Quest” is a synergy of expressive art, play and soul exploration. Discover your intuitive self and restore the natural unity of body, mind and spirit. Through the magic of writing your life story as myth or fairy tale, creating tissue paper collages, integrating breath, movement, dance and meditation, we simultaneously empty our mind, deepen our connection to the somatic self and become open vessels ready to receive from source. You will expand your imagination and uncover the presence and vitality of your life force. The tissue paper collage acts as the catalyst for moving past the critical mind to restore the unity of body, mind, feelings and spirit. A deep level of insight arises from this work, as each individual reflects on emergent meanings in relation to self, family, community and culture.
Karen Stefano Ed.M, M.A., L.P.C., is an artist and practicing psychotherapist. She worked and trained with Jungian Analyst Dr. Edith Wallace for over twenty years and is one of the very few individuals qualified to continue the tissue paper collage method developed by Dr. Wallace. Before her passing, Dr. Wallace gave workshops at Wainwright House. Working with clients through the synergy of expressive arts and psychotherapy, Karen includes psychodynamic, Gurdjieff/Fourth Way, and Median group process. Karen has worked with Dr. Gordon Lawrence in Social Dreaming Matrix and trained with Dr. Patrick de Mare in Median group process.
