Art as Therapy in the Classroom

The Enchanted Way

a unique art therapy program

where art and spirit join together

under the guidance of James Torrenzano A.T.R.

The Enchanted Way is an art therapy approach to working with children and adults. Using the fundamentals of mythology and Chinese philosophy the art studio is a place where re-alignment occurs between the self and the way of the warrior. The backdrop for this journey is the use of music, birds flying and fountains flowing to create a sacred space known as the "temenos".

If I want to feel and live a line. I must
move my hand along the path of that line.
I must follow that line with my senses,that
is. I must move in my soul. Then I will finally
be able to sense that line spiritually,to see it,
then I will move in spirit,

-Johannes Itten

In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you,
but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art.
Rumi

I sometimes wonder if our role as an art therapist is to
awaken and provide an arena for spirit to work its wonder
