Debbie Spitulik is creating a pathway for those interested in the healing art of creative speech. Students will take Kairos core courses and focus on creative speech as their chosen discipline.
Debbie will invite a rich faculty of speech artists and speech therapists to enrich this training.
Speech lies at the core of everything we do as human beings. Understanding language through the practice of creative speech provides insights into our students’ learning, their social and emotional life, and their health.
Creative Speech is a course designed for students who want to develop their capacity for listening and speaking as an art form and hone their ability to use Speech as a tool for healing.
Those interested in earning an accredited M.Ed. or Certificate in Healing Education through Antioch University New England, should send their inquiries to Karine Munk Finser, Director of the Transdisciplinary Studies in Healing Education Program (TSHE), at [email protected].
