Your invitation
Come and expand your connection to your moving and creative self. Challenge your patterns of thinking, moving and interacting with yourself and others through a creative process. Our six-hour in-person workshop will guide you on this new journey of creative exploration.
You will investigate a connection to self through movement, imagery, and words, and discover the world of texture, smell, sound, weight and colour of a myriad of materials. You will be encouraged to let go of judgement and be guided into new corners of consciousness.
Susan and Caterina bring a unique combination of deep expertise in therapeutic movement and mark-making. As experienced workshop facilitators and therapists, they provide a safe space to explore what you hold within. However wild or under developed your creative self may feel, you are welcome!
We invite you to have the courage and curiosity to venture inside yourself in new ways.

"I never thought it would possible to introspect so deeply, have so much fun, and make new friends all in the same space of a day."
"The day was just magic, my body was happy, and my heart at peace. Thank you for such an amazing experience."
"I wasn't sure what to expect and a bit anxious about the art part, but the facilitation was so smooth and gentle that I don't even know how I got to connect so deeply with my body and make an art piece which is now hanging in my studio!"

Caterina Monaco
I love empowering people to find their own powers, their creativity, their path. What if you don't need therapy? Where are the tools to keep yourself in balance, and grow into the life of your fullest potential? The life you haven’t yet lived. As a former journalist I run therapeutic writing workshops, which help reveal hidden parts of ourselves, and hidden pathways forwards. As a painter and artist, I have discovered somatic drawing to unlock the feelings behind our thoughts and actions. And I am one of only a few certified Body Mapping practitioners worldwide, which combines creative process, self-reflection, and integration. I have studied Fine Art in Edinburgh, and taught meditation for over 25 years. My clients include therapists across multiple disciplines, people facing important changes in life or work, and anyone seeking the insight, clarity, and direction to reach their true potential. Like I said I'm not a therapist so I always tell potential clients please don't come to me if you want to be healed, come to me if you want to learn how to heal yourself in the unique way your life is calling for. I work from my studio in Warwickshire, England, and by appointment in Rome, Milan and Berlin.
Susan Scarth
I am a senior movement psychotherapist, and I provide a creative and calm space to work towards better mental and physical health - ‘bodyfulness’. The body and mind are entirely connected and movement psychotherapy is a process of making sense of the blocks, confusions and overwhelming experiences, to reach a more balanced sense of self My approach blends dance movement psychotherapy with creative approaches to body work, ‘bodyfulness’, and movement awareness. I work with adults who present with complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. And I also provide individual and group supervision to professional care-givers and therapists. I teach the Laban Bartenieff Movement System (LBMS) for therapists, and hold a BSc social science degree, and a Masters in Dance Movement Therapy from the Laban Centre, London. In addition to other international certifications, I also hold a diploma in Creative Supervision & Reflective Practice. I run a private practice in Edinburgh Scotland.
