Marcel Proust once wrote that "The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes". Perhaps this is the surprising renewal born through self-expression. My experience has been that it repeatedly offers my heart new ears and eyes, that of the facilitator and the engaged participant.

This type of facilitation endeavours to keep expressive arts alive as an integral part of our lives and the life of our communities.
