SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Mountain Home Studio
(see times)
We are excited to present the second workshop in our Friends of Tamalpa ArtCorps series! This series features very special guests and benefits ArtCorps, Tamalpa's social engagement program. We are honored to have Armand Volkas at Tamalpa!
Our special guest, Armand Volkas, will demonstrate his innovative approach to working with intercultural conflict transformation, collective trauma, and peace building. Through experiential exercises integrated with didactic explanations of his model, he will guide participants through an embodied exploration of the following questions: How do cultures emotionally integrate a legacy of perpetration or victimization? How do we prevent the rage, guilt and shame of one generation from haunting a people for generations to come? This workshop demonstrates how the expressive arts can provide a bridge between personal and collective experience and help people master complex feelings, heal deep wounds, and put ghosts of history to rest.
This daylong workshop is designed for everyone. No previous experience in dance/art needed.
DATE: October 13, 2018
TIME: 10AM - 5PM
All levels of experience welcome. Art materials provided. Held at the historic Mountain Home Studio, Kentfield, California
