2025 Music and Imagery Symposium (online)

​

Date: Saturday May 10, 2025, 9:30am - 5:15pm (UK time). This CPD event will take place online.​

Cost: £60 (£35 excluding workshop)

​

Bookings: integrativegim@protonmail.com

​

This CPD event will include case presentations of Supportive Music and Imagery (SMI) and Reeducative Music and Imagery (RMI). These Music and Imagery (MI) methods involve clients in art-making (and sometimes other expressive arts modalities) whilst listening to music of their choice, and are part of the contemporary spectrum of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) methods. SMI focuses on developing client’s inner resources, strengths and resilience, RMI on psychological and emotional issues affecting client’s mental health.

​

The symposium has been organized as a CPD event for those trained in these or similar MI/GIM methods. It also serves as an introduction for music therapists, art therapists, counsellors and psychotherapists and others who may be considering additional training in MI. 

​

For those not trained in SMI/RMI, an introductory session will be provided to begin the day. Along with the presentations to follow, a workshop will be included exploring how MI can draw on art therapy theory, practice and research. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EVENT CAN ONLY BE ATTENDED ON THE DAY. 
THE PRESENTATIONS WILL NOT BE RECORDED FOR LATER VIEWING BY DELEGATES.
