Mind-Body Healing Through the Arts | The New School


THE NEW SCHOOL | www.newschool.edu Creative arts therapy is rapidly gaining recognition as an essential part of health care in the United States. By tapping into expressive aspects of body, mind, and spirit through modalities such as music, sound, imagery, role, and movement, creative art therapists facilitate self-actualization and healing. In Mind-Body Healing Through the Arts, a lecture series presented at The New School, prominent creative arts therapists discuss principles and practice. The first lecture/panel discussion introduces the Healing Empowerment Center, a final thesis project by the late Sam Hanser, a graduate of Parsons’ Architecture and Design program. The center offers a new model for mind-body healing in which the clinical environment is an integral part of the healing prescription. The presentation touches on sustainable design, an East/West mind-body healing approach, somatic therapy, and spirituality as crucial elements in healing. The panel features world-renowned experts including Sam Hanser’s mother, Suzanne Hanser, EdD, MT-BC, director of the Music Therapy Program at Berklee College of Music; Jean Gardner, PhD, an art historian, author, consultant on sustainable design, and professor in Parsons’ School of Constructed Environments; Robert Norwood, senior associate and designer at NBBJ architecture firm; and Louise Montello, DA, LCAT, LP, MT-BC, director of Performance Wellness, Inc., and of the Creative Arts Therapy program at The New School.

  1. cont’dTo learn more about REAL medicine and how to arm yourself with the critical thinking skills Necessary to detect fraud and quackery like this, visit sciencebasedmedicine com or read “The Demon-Haunted World” by Carl? Sagan.

  2. None of These Things Have to Be Demonstrated remotely effective in Treating Any medical condition at all Under proper scientific controls,? and It Is Deeply Irresponsible & deceptive to Suggest That THEY have. There’s no substitute for science-based medicine no matter how attractive & New Age-y you dress up your snake oil. I’m embarrassed my alma mater IS Promoting transparent Such pseudoscience, and everyone Affiliated w / New School University Should Be Embarrassed & outraged by this nonsense.
