Terri Goslin-Jones, Phd, REACE
Psychology/ Creativity Studies Faculty, Saybrook University
As an educator, my reason for teaching is to support life-long learners who are on a personal quest to create change in their lives and in their part of the world. Creativity is at the heart of my work. I believe that every person has a creative, unique spirit, and that creative energy is a vehicle for growth.
I teach courses in Arts-based Inquiry, Creativity, Expressive Arts, Poetry, Art and Healing, Humanistic Psychology, and Professional Development at Saybrook University. I am a Registered Expressive Arts Consultant/Educator (REACE) and serve on the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association REACE Committee.
I am a contemplative creative, mindfulness, and expressive arts practitioner, and lead poetry circles as a graduate of the Poetic Medicine Institute. I have a passion for exploring humanistic/ transpersonal psychology, world religions, and multi-cultural worldviews. My creativity is expressed through family life, expressive arts, gardening/nature, poetry, physical fitness, photography, spirituality, and international travel.
In my private practice, working with and supporting both individuals and groups, I have found that everything we do becomes more meaningful when creativity is nurtured through the expression of a person’s unique gifts, talents, and perspectives.
