About

Our innovative work has been brought into classrooms,
businesses, hospitals, mental health care settings, hospices, prisons, and
disadvantaged communities, among others.

The Tamalpa Life/Art Process, which combines movement, dance, drawing,
and writing, has influenced the fields of dance, environmental design,
theater, body/mind therapies, and art-based psychology. Our approach
is based on the theory that people’s own life experiences are the most
meaningful sources for artistic expression and social change.

Tamalpa has worked with over 10,000 people from more than 50 countries,
including students, educators, therapists, artists, social workers, and health
care providers. Today our movement-based, expressive-arts training
programs are ranked among the best in the world. And our public and
social engagement programs serve diverse communities from all walks
of life, including children, elders, and virtually everyone in between.
