Course overview
Human connection is a fundamental and vital need for well-being. Substantiative research across various disciplines affirms the foundational importance of human connection for individual health, happiness, and resilience. Despite this inherent need, countless individuals experience profound disconnection, a state that can arise from formative circumstances or the gradual erosion of relationships. At the core genuine connection is a felt sense. It is a nonverbal and energetic experience of being noticed in the world. Expressive arts offer a secure and accessible modality to facilitate and restore this essential sense of belonging throughout the human lifespan.
