EXPRESSIVE ARTS INSTITUTE OF OREGON

PORTLAND, Oregon, 97203-3821 United States

Mission Statement

Our mission is to use the arts as a vehicle to enable learners of all ages to heal, strengthen and create healthy communities together. We use art as a process - rather than performance - and in combination with formal research-based approaches to assessment and growth, people discover new ways their creativity has meaning for them. We measure our success by assessing people’s ability to apply this work as a transformative tool for themselves and with others, personally and professionally in their communities.

About This Cause

We offer programs using an expressive arts curriculum (that is, process rather than performance) for growth and transformation. For adults we offer both long and short-form programs in expressive arts. === Long-form adult program: 500-hour Expressive Arts - Advanced Training and Certification Program in Movement-based Expressive Arts through International Association of Somatic Education and Therapy. Students gain professional experience/credential and applicable skills whether diversifying their current skills or making a career change. Somatic/movement-based Expressive Arts attracts people with varied backgrounds including education, healthcare, counseling and coaching. We serve adults in the Pacific Northwest - based in Portland, Oregon - and serve economically disadvantaged, low-income, and poor people with a comprehensive approach to tuition support. ==== Short-form programs for Professionals: We provide Continuing Education and Certification Programs including: • The Teacher’s Way - Embodied Expressive Arts - 30 hours • Embodied Expressive Arts for Social Workers - 4.5 hours • Trauma-Informed Care for Yoga Teachers - 12 hours • Embodied Expressive Arts for Structural Integration Practitioners - 3 hours
