The class’s main objective is body awareness through strengthening and alignment.

"Aisha believes that through creative expression and the tapping of the imagination, people can examine their body, feelings, emotions, to heal and grow. Expressive arts therapy is the practice of using imagery, storytelling, dance, music, drama, poetry, movement, and visual arts together, in an integrated way, to foster human growth, development, and healing. Unlike traditional art expression, the process of creation is emphasized rather than the final product. People can heal through the various forms of creative expression. During Expressive Arts Therapy you will learn to express yourself with a variety of different art forms and mediums.

Modern indigenous cultures have also used sound to heal and to access expanded states of consciousness. More recently, science has proven that sound, or vibration, has a strong impact upon substance.
