Patricia Estes

Patricia Estes Like millions before me... Art and Energy are my entire well-being. Currently, I am trying to make a successful connection between the two, so that they may morph in to something beautiful, beloved, and spiritually substantial.

Interested Expressive Therapists and People- I would like to invite any Expressive Therapists and people generally interested in CHARTs activities to get together in Zurich, Switzerland, and discuss ideas for getting involved in similar projects locally or remotely. This would be an informational meeting to see what's ...happening in our community and get involved. Perhaps we can form a local Swiss 'CHART' community that expands into something overseas- who knows, we'll see!

If you are interested, please email Jill at jlwaterfield@me.com and we can discuss a good time that works for everyone.

Sincerely, Jill Waterfield, ATR

SHUBHA'S SUMMER PLANS
I am a Graduate student in Art Therapy at Emporia State University, I am currently in India (Bangalore). As a representative of CHART, I am meeting with people at NIMHANS (National Institute of mental Health and ...Neuro Sciences), Bangalore Children’s Hospital and Research Centre, Centre for Child Development and Disabilities and Chandana Art Foundation that uses art with blind and otherwise challenged children, to discuss about art therapy volunteer services that I could offer.

From 1 June I will be in Kolkata for one month and will work with Apne Aap (more information and link below), an organization that operates Community Centers to provide education and health services to women and children in red-light areas and slums in Kolkata, Forbesgunge, Delhi and Bhiwandi.

After returning from Kolkata in July, I plan work with 1 or may be 2 organizations in Bangalore for at least one month. In between I am also planning to organize presentations on Art Therapy in both Kolkata and Bangalore where I will be using Dr. Judith Rubin’s film Art Therapy has Many Faces.

_____________________________________
Apne Aap Women Worldwide (A2W2) began as a community based initiative of women in prostitution in the Khetwadi/ Kamathipura red light area of Mumbai in 1998. Twenty-two women in prostitution, who had worked with Emmy award-winning journalist Ruchira Gupta to make a documentary The Selling of Innocents, decided to start this organization. It was formally registered as a Trust in 2002.

In nearly five years Apne Aap’s membership has spread from Western to Eastern India. It organizes and supports women and children in Bihar, Delhi, Mahrashtra and West Bengal. It is headquartered in Kolkata.

It is also registered in New York as a not-for-profit organization called Apne Aap International which partners with international organizations like the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, Vital Voices and Equality Now to lobby with the United Nations and other international organizations and agencies against Human Trafficking.
