Our wishes foretell the capacities within ourselves; they are harbingers of what we shall be able to accomplish. What we can do and want to do is projected in our imagination, quite outside ourselves and into the future. We are attracted to what is already ours, in secret. Thus, passionate anticipation transforms what is already possible into dreamt-for reality.
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In this episode, we discuss the importance of imagination with art therapist, Donna Soldano.
Topics include imagination and leadership, art therapy in trauma, expression and communication through art, and activities to cultivate imagination.
Donna's Bio:

In addition, to talk therapy, Donna invites clients to explore through art because she believes art is healing and the process of creating art, and having a witness to your process, can promote self-exploration, self-awareness, and can access, non-verbally, that which we cannot always access through verbal communication, allowing for growth and healing. Donna believes in an individual's innate wellbeing to heal and grow. She encourages and supports her clients to connect with this innate wellbeing to guide them through life’s challenges and empowers clients to trust in themselves as guides for how to best care for themselves.
