At CSC we focus on the Art of Healing rather than diagnosis and eradication of pathology/disease. Healing the negative impacts of limiting social/cultural conditioning or trauma on the psyche (body, mind, spirit) is primarily an artistic and mystical rather than exclusively a medical endeavor. We believe creativity, inspiration, generosity, kindness, diversity, art, embodiment, movement, dance, music, mythology, poetry, mindfulness, community, and kinship with nature and animals are some of the most powerful healing experiences available to humans.
We offer a Transpersonal and integrative healing approach in all that we do. In addition to the more traditional mental, emotional, physical aspects of self, we seek to incorporate spirit and all other aspects of a person’s life that are also essential to healing. We work with alternative healing modalities and incorporate other types of healing relationships such as meditation, mindfulness, painting, drawing, poetry, writing, music, movement/dance, yoga, animal supported therapy, and nature based/Ecotherapy to help a person access inspiration for evolutionary life changes. These modalities all fall within what we call the Four Pillars of our approach to healing and wellness: Transpersonal, Ecotherapy, Somatics, and Expressive Arts. Click below to learn more about each pillar.
Art has an extraordinary ability to transcend words and delve into the realm of the subconscious. Expressive Arts Therapies provide a creative outlet for individuals to explore, process, and communicate their inner worlds. Through mediums such as painting, music, dance, and writing, individuals can externalize complex emotions, facilitating healing and self-discovery. Expressive Arts Therapies encourage authentic self-expression, promote emotional regulation, and enhance self-esteem. By engaging in the arts, individuals tap into their innate creativity, fostering a deeper connection with their authentic selves.
The body is a repository of emotions, memories, and experiences. Somatic practices recognize the inherent wisdom of the body and its role in the healing journey. At Creative Spirit Collaborative, we utilize somatic therapies such as yoga, mindful movement, and breathwork to help individuals release physical tension and emotional blockages. By cultivating awareness of bodily sensations, we empower individuals to process trauma, manage stress, and restore equilibrium. Somatic practices offer tools for self-regulation, fostering a deep sense of agency and resilience.
Deep within the heart of our approach lies the profound connection between mental well-being and the natural world. Ecotherapy harnesses the healing power of nature to foster emotional resilience and promote inner harmony. By immersing individuals in natural settings and engaging in activities like forest bathing, earthing, or mindfulness in the elements, we tap into the therapeutic benefits of nature. Research shows that spending time outdoors reduces stress, anxiety, and depression while enhancing cognitive function and promoting a sense of awe and interconnectedness. Through Ecotherapy, we guide individuals toward a reconnection with the earth, nurturing a sense of belonging and tranquility.
The exploration of consciousness and the integration of wisdom traditions form the cornerstone of our transpersonal pillar. Transpersonal therapies encompass spiritual and mystical experiences that transcend the individual ego. By drawing from mindfulness practices, meditation, and contemplative traditions, we guide individuals toward self-transcendence and expanded awareness. This pillar invites individuals to embark on a journey of self-inquiry, tapping into their inner wisdom and connecting with a greater sense of purpose. Through Transpersonal therapies, individuals navigate the depths of their consciousness, fostering profound personal growth and transformation.
We are developing collaborative community of practitioners that can meet a wide array of participants needs and consult with each other about all aspects of participant’s healing. We advocate community group healing adventures to help participants connect more deeply with each other and the planet for primary healing and consciousness evolution. You can learn more about our community groups on our Community Services page.
