    This Workshop aims to provide participants with an opportunity to immerse themselves in Guided Imagery and Music Therapy (no prior knowledge or experience required) and explore how this therapy process can be combined with Arts Therapy practices.

    There will be a presentation on the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music Therapy as well as the Music & Imagery process. Both presentations will be followed by an experiential activity and Annette will discuss how she has integrated these methods into her own Art Psychotherapy practice through a case study.

    There will be a theory component to this workshop as well as practical explorations when participants will have an opportunity to respond to music followed by group discussion. Participants will be required to have their own art materials available for the practical elements of this workshop

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    1. To be introduced to the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music Therapy as well as Music and Imagery.
    2. To understand how these GIM methods can be integrated into the Creative Arts Therapy process.
    3. To develop a sense of how these processes can serve our clients and the types of clients who may benefit.

    This 5-hour refresher training is for professional members who have been supervising for several years. It is for arts therapists who completed supervision training some time ago and want to ensure that their practice is up to date and/or to allow them to meet the requirements to become approved supervisors with ANZACATA, if the training they have done does not add up to the required 40 hours.

    This event is open to Approved Supervisors ONLY. The ANZACATA supervision policy requires approved supervisors to 'refresh' their training every 5 years.

    Current and relevant readings for all areas of the training will be provided.

    The training will revisit:

    • Definitions of supervision
    • Models and approaches to supervision
    • Arts Based Integration
    • Exploration of responsibilities and challenges.
