For this assignment, write a 3-5 page reflection paper describing your essential takeaways from recent readings: the Levine book on poiesis and Hyatt’s excerpt reflecting on poiesis in relationship to other spiritual terms describing creative life force. Apply these takeaways to these specific questions:
1) What have you learned from these readings that have deepened and informed your personal creative expression, and why might you continue to integrate these approaches within your creative life long-term?
2) What have you learned from these readings about the creative process of working as an art therapist with clients? What methods and insights from these readings do you feel will help you help future clients, most of whom will begin therapy caught in compulsive defensive patterns and having lived most of their lives accumulating injury and blocks to their creativity and imagination?
