Hey folks,
Here is the schedule for February along with a description of how I
perceive the discussions could
be focused. PLEASE NOTE-I am NOT, and in NO WAY claim to be an all
knowing guru on any
of the topics, but instead I am a interested practioner of music
therapy. The chat will be as
informative (or as uninformative) as the amount of people who attend and
contribute.
CreativeTherapies chat can be reached at
