Upcoming Changes at JouneyWorks

Published on by michaelwatsonvt4 Comments

After many years of providing psychotherapy and education to the Burlington, Vermont community, this October we will be moving our principal office to Dartmouth, Massachusetts.  After October 24th, 2019, we will be seeing clients in Burlington one day a month. Our Dartmouth, Massachusetts office will open in early January, 2020.

We will continue to offer services to our Vermont clients, including limited teletherapy, distance Reiki, shamanic assistance, and classes and workshops.

We are moving JourneyWorks to Southeastern Massachusetts in order to be near family, to focus more on our art, and to explore new ways of supporting individuals, families, and communities as we collectively navigate the immense challenges we all face in these times of Earth Changes.

In Dartmouth we will continue to offer expressive arts based facilitation for individuals, couples, and groups.  We envision strengthening our shamanic work, enriching Jennie’s Reiki practice and teaching, and increasing our coaching services for persons and groups focused on the arts, social change, and the environment. We are also excited to offer coaching to couples and families, and to persons and families facing trauma, illness, or disability.

Reiki Share
Thursday, June 11, 6:30-9pm
Led by Jennie

This is a wonderful way to share Reiki, both for Self and others, by giving and receiving Reiki from each other. Learn from others how they are using Reiki, and have a place to rest and be rejuvenated. End by sending energy out to the world and to those who request energy but are not able to come. Light refreshments will be offered. Feel free to invite other Reiki practitioners that you know! If you are unable to come but would like for the group to send energy to you, please let me know. Feel free to invite friends. All levels of Reiki are invited. RSVPs please.  Free

 

The Arts: Pathways to Comfort and Joy

Published on by michaelwatsonvt

Drawing, painting, sculpture, dance, movement, theatre, puppetry, photography, and music are all potent pathways to healing.They provide a safe way of telling one’s story, conversing with differing parts of ourselves, working with a dreams, and engaging the numinous to build resources and resiliency.  They can also increase physical, spiritual, and emotional health, while fostering learning and the development of new skills.

Jennie is an Expressive Arts Therapist and can help you address a range of symptoms including, but not limited to, reducing pain, anxiety, and tension. She uses a broad range of arts, including theatre techniques such as psychodrama and Playback theatre, to help clients clarify issues and chart new directions for health. While commonly used for personal growth, the Expressive Arts Therapies can also be applied to organizations and work teams. Please contact Jennie for more information on this.

Michael, formerly the art therapist at the hospital, is trained as a visual and theatre artist, counselor, and shamanic practitioner, and encourages clients to explore the arts as powerful tools for living.
