Margie Woods, M.A.::Art For Healing and Self-Care
Hi! I am Margie (with a hard "g", as in Margarita) Woods. I am a self-proclaimed champion for the healing powers of art! For the last 30 years, I have personally experienced the enormous healing benefits of creativity. As a survivor (thriver) of Complex Trauma, I am living proof that ART HEALS!. After earning my Masters in Clinical Psychology in 2006, I created Language of The Soul Workshops to promote healing and self-care through art .
My art journey began with photography at a very young age, then designing handmade greeting cards, and eventually also found form in art journaling, bookmaking and painting. My art journaling practice has been a constant throughout that journey, and sustains me to this day. My deep hope is that something that I teach in my classes or share here about my creative practice will touch someone and encourage the spread of creativity and healing in this world.
I am also a lifelong sailor and portrait photographer.....it all somehow goes together!
