Spirituality Affinity Group
Purpose
- Spirituality is an integral aspect of healing
- Physical, emotional, and mental healing can occur on a deeper level if spirituality is also addressed and part of the process
- There are many, many spiritual and religious paths with value, importance, and significance
- Each person is unique and each person is similar to others in various ways including spiritual ways
- Examining one’s own values, culture, and customs increases one’s ability to see another’s perspective and point of view
Goals
- To help dance/movement therapists identify their own spiritual path
- To find ways for dance/movement therapists to incorporate spirituality into therapy in ethical, appropriate, and therapeutic ways
- To provide a safe place for dance/movement therapists of different spiritual paths to share insight and information
- To assist dance/movement therapists in letting go of old ways of thinking about “us” vs. “them” in all aspects of life and in therapy in particular
- To develop new relationships with people traveling different or similar spiritual paths in the dance/movement therapy community
- To explore new ways of helping clients value, think about, and experience spirituality
