A LIFE-ART PROCESS with Daria Halprin
Saturday April 26th, 2008 at the Tamalpa Institute studio in Marin County.
Body and imagination will be brought into life-art dialogues using movement/dance, drawing, poetic writing, reflective questions, improvisation and witnessing. The work will facilitate participants as they tune in to and express sensations, feelings and images of the body. Through movement metaphors and inter-modal arts, the narratives, challenges and burning questions of participants' lives will emerge, and new resources will be generated.
A lecture and slide show from the Tamalpa Institute Trainings and client work will further demonstrate this approach and its relevancy to the field and to the practice of expressive arts as an educative, healing and transformative process.
For more information and to register contact California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) after January 3, 2008 at 415-575-6175 or publicprograms@ciis.edu.
Level 3 Online Supervision Group
The 2008 Level 3 on-line supervision group will begin in January. Students from around the world and Tamalpa teachers will communicate through our interactive graduate on-line studio. Please contact the Tamalpa office to register by January 1.

Conferences
Tamalpa hosted the 11th Annual Expressive Arts HARVEST SYMPOSIUM
In November 2007. Tamalpa hosted the Harvest Symposium, a residential retreat and festival of Expressive Arts. Pioneers and leaders in the field including Paolo Knill, Stephen and Ellen Levine and Daria Halprin joined 85 participants including over 25 Tamalpa international graduates and board members. The highly successful Symposium was five days of in-depth workshops, engaging discussions, performances and community art making at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. It closed with Anna Halprin facilitating Planetary Dance. The event was co-sponsored by the International and North American Networks of Expressive Arts Therapy Training Centers. It was in affiliation with the European Graduate School, and in cooperation with California Institute of Integral Studies.
Daria appeared as a keynote workshop presenter at the ADTA/NDEO conference in Long Beach California and Anna presented the Earth Run as a conference community art event. Bringing the work to this professional group of dancers and dance educators was a resounding success. We want to encourage graduate practitioners to present at conferences. In 2006 we recommended two graduates to present for Tamalpa Institute - Karina Bergen in Japan and Alice Rutowski in New Zealand. In 2007, Daria was joined by graduates Pernille Orville and Anne Alper to present at the IEATA Conference in Boone, North Carolina. Let us know of any conferences you wish to submit to and we will help by providing you with presentation materials.
Lian Wilson
Lian Wilson led a TE workshop with 16 new participants in London! She will continue offering the Tamalpa Experience Workshops in 2008.
Accelerated L 2 Summer Training
Our Accelerated L 2 Summer Training group graduated in August 2007. This accelerated format brought together L 1 graduates from as long ago as 1982. It was an inspiring experience for peers and teachers alike, to explore at such a deep, focused and mature level. Their training included 2 in-person months and several on-line months. Thanks to all who have contributed to the fruition of this unique and worthwhile offering.
Join TIGA
Our on-line studio is a home for the Tamalpa Institute Graduate Association and is facilitated by a team of graduate leaders. It houses a library of books, music resources and articles. Members engage in continuous on-line dialogues, including announcements about their work, themes being explored, personal and professional resources being developed. We strongly encourage all graduates to join as a way to keep in touch, receive news, generate new ideas, and support each other through this interactive platform. To join contact the TI office. Rather than track an annual membership fee which has become impossible for the office to keep up with, we are now shifting to a one payment of a Life-time membership fee of $100 for all current and new members. Tamalpa would like to honor our graduates by offering a web-site listing to all TIGA life-time members. Those who qualify will be listed under Halprin Practitioners. Others will be listed as graduates.
Local Chapters
We invite and encourage Tamalpa Institute Graduates to form a local chapter! It is our experience that graduates of the Tamalpa trainings are tremendously re-inspired and renewed when advanced gatherings and workshops take place. Graduates coming together to "workshop live" is an important way to stoke the fires of creativity, to move, dance, and make art together and keep the Tamalpa work alive in our personal lives. Tamalpa Chapters can be a platform for such gatherings. If you would like to form a chapter in your state or country, please contact us for more information.
- Tamalpa chapter in Germany has a new leadership team with Petra Eischeid, Stephanie Haug and Sonja Seng.
- The UK now has more than enough graduates to form a chapter. Those from UK and nearby, contact Lian to start!
Degree Option Programs
Degree Option Programs are available and strongly recommended to TI students through affiliation with Lesley University and through the European Graduate School, with an exciting new program in Expressive Arts and Social Change at EGS. Those interested, study the degree option programs on the website. This provides and excellent opportunity for students to expand their learning and position themselves for professional practice.
