FROM THE CREATIVE TEAM

Dear <<First Name>>,

This newsletter brings you the 2019 Watermark Arts Journal, 56 pages of words and images culminating our yearlong exploration of Continuum & the Creativity of Health.

The Journal offers an in-depth conversation between Bonnie Gintis, D.O., and Elisabeth Osgood-Campbell, accented with transformative, somatically-informed images from Watermark’s galleries.

We invite you to dive with these eloquent guides to the center of the interconnection of creativity and health, to emerge with a fresh perspective on the very nature of health, revealed in specific ways that Continuum practice contributes to the healing process.

Beautifully designed by Prue Jeffries, this issue of the Journal is also translated into Italian by Annalisa Dondi and Simona Arbizzani, as well as into French by Naomi Walker.

Appropriately, the 2019 Journal is home to our complete Creativity of Health video series, including the newest interview with human rights psychotherapist Amber Elizabeth Gray.

Holding all the best for your well-being,

Elaine Colandrea  Priscilla Auchincloss Prue Jeffries Sandra Capellaro

THE CREATIVITY OF HEALTH

"Every human being deserves the right to inhabit his or her body
in the way they choose."
From Darfur, Kosovo, and Haiti to her clinic in New Mexico, Amber combines dance therapy and Continuum in her recovery work with refugees, as well as in caring for her own health, often under demanding conditions. (4.5 min)

MOVING ART CARDS

Inspired by Prue Jeffries’ nature photographs from around our planet, the Moving Arts Cards awareness practices are drawn from Elaine Colandrea’s years of teaching Continuum. The intention is to create an artful home practice that extends a class/workshop experience.

The deck is a set of 36 living art experience cards wrapped in a silver organza bag that you can take with you anywhere.

Your Moving Art Cards order is a donation to support Watermark Arts.
