  This 5-hour refresher training is for professional members who have been supervising for several years. It is for arts therapists who have already 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 20 hours.  Also, the new ANZACATA supervision policy requires approved supervisors to 'refresh' their training every 5 years.

  NOTE: This event is open to Approved Supervisors ONLY

  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

In her private practice, she supervises art therapists and other practitioners working in a wide range of fields. She also facilitates several supervision groups. She is pleased to offer support to members of ANZACATA.

  This workshop series is returning by popular request!

  Let's access the joy, depth and insight of our very own artmaking to inform the reflective and regenerative practices required as a professional ANZACATA member. How are you going in your arts therapy practice? What's the truth of it? What are you proud of? Struggling with? You are invited to gently review your year; to identify and affirm the strengths, passions, skills and values you bring to your work and to acknowledge the gaps and learning edges. You are encouraged to envisage your ideal practice, then to translate your vision into intentions, goals and action steps – all within a framework of learning, support and self-care.

  This two-part experiential workshop is designed to inspire you to bring art, heart and practical strategy to your annual self-review and development plan, so that you can carry your professional practice forwards with verve and vitality, grace and groundedness, ethics and energy, purpose and playfulness. Practitioners at any level of membership or experience are welcome. Numbers are limited, to foster safety and connection.

  Participants can expect to:

  • Utilise experiential art-making to reflect on your arts therapist journey
  • Uncover, affirm and explore the shapes, elements and qualities of your current professional practice
  • Synthesise discoveries to generate a vision for desired future directions
  • Validate shared and diverse experience in a group of connected peers
  • Apply creative wisdom to clarify possible professional development steps that incorporate your unique skills and preferences.

  GUEST SPEAKER: Amanda Sinclair

  Finding an authentic path in a tradition-bound organisation

  In this talk I will share my reflections – including failures and learning - from my decades-long career as a business school academic – a male-dominated and tradition-bound environment. Three key phases will be described: first, being in camouflage and thinking I have to conform; second, experimenting and finding power to do things differently; and third, pushing the envelope of innovation by introducing meditation, mindfulness and attention to the senses and body to my teaching and research.

Currently a Professorial Fellow, Amanda was Foundation Chair of Management (Diversity and Change) at Melbourne Business School. Her books include Doing Leadership Differently (1998); Leadership for the Disillusioned (2007); Leading Mindfully (2016)and, with Christine Nixon, Women Leading (2017). Amanda is also a yoga and meditation teacher and much of her teaching and coaching focuses on introducing insights and practices from mindfulness to leading and being well.
