Rise Up is a call-to-action for us in the expressive arts field to build bridges and strengthen our collaborative efforts across race, culture, nationality, citizenship status, sexual orientation, abilities, and gender to hold the collective’s longing for wholeness. The focus of this conference is rooted in the current moment’s call to action. These are days filled with soul-searching on a personal, interpersonal, and societal level. Conference themes center on growth, change, inclusion, visibility, and lifting each other up to elevate the work of expressive arts in healing.
InterPlay cofounders Phil Porter and Cynthia Winton-Henry join expert keynote presenters, collaborative panels and plenary workshops in a conference that addresses therapists, teachers, artists, social workers, psychologists, social service agency workers, politicians, social justice advocates, anyone interested in creating a more ethical, healthy and socially conscious community.
