Have you ever found yourself trying to hold your peace because your student or client has made some offhand comment about your race, gender, sexual identity or other aspects of your identity? This brief interactive session is designed for practitioners who have or anticipate finding themselves in ethical dilemmas associated with students' or clients' cultural incompetence. 

Dr. Lockhart will present this interactive poster session and you as participants will:

* Express and gain insight into microaggressions you’ve experienced with your students and clients.

* Collect expressive writing tools that may be helpful in addressing these issues. 

* Create a personalized set of actions and protocol for addressing microaggressions and cultural identity issues in the future.

3 Wonderwood Drive, Greenville, SC 29615 

This fun yet insightful writing and art expression workshop is designed to help mothers and daughters consider the relationship they have had and reach for the relationship they want. Each participant will use Dr. Lockhart's storytelling technique, personal plot, to write two short scenes: one from a pivotal moment in the past in their relationship with the other person, and one of their future desired relationship. To complete the expression, participants will create a diorama museum piece that offers literal or abstract representation of their future desired relationship. 

Fee: $150 per mother daughter pair, covers workshop, materials, and refreshments. Maximum number of pairs 10 (20 participants),

Zelda Lockhart holds a PhD in expressive therapies, and is a registered expressive arts consultant and educator. She utilizes the literary arts with other art forms as adjunct to help folks do one of two things: 

• Reach the goal of a literary manuscript using their personal life experiences and the discovered  experiences during the writing process (and other adjunct art making) as  the main ingredients
• Heal and transform using literary writing (and other adjunct art forms) as the tools to reach that goal 

These goals sound similar, because healing transformation and literary product are an outcome of each, but the primary goal of the first is the manuscript with healing transformation as a secondary outcome, and the primary goal of the second is the healing transformation with some literary writing as the secondary outcome.
Location:  Via Zoom or Google Hangouts.
