ADTA Talks
Happy New Year all. At the ADTA conference in Brooklyn, NY this past October I participated in a project called ADTA Talks. Fifteen dance/movement therapists spoke about the work that they do in a TED Talks style presentation. I was priviledged to be one of those chosen few DMT’s. My talk was focused on my experiences practicing DMT with veterans and active duty military as I am among the onlyDMT’s in the world that have the exceptional honor to work with this population. If you missed ADTA Talks, don’t worry; the inspiring presentations will be available on YouTube soon. So stay tuned!
