communication and connection, improve relationships and to

Nature Based Expressive Arts Therapy N-BEATArt Therapy is the applied practice of the field of Nature Based Expressive Arts Therapy. N-BEAT in many cases, stems from the belief that people are part of the web of life and that our psyches are not isolated and separate from our environment. N-BEAT is informed by systems theory and provides individuals and groups the opportunity to explore their relationship with nature through expression utilizing visual art, sound, movement, and other forms of expressive art.
