WEA Workshop Title:
The Artist & Neuroscience: Limbic Calming effects Creativity and Creative Block
A didactic and experiential experience, including a presentation of SoulCollage® images, and an instructional demonstration of self-regulation biofeedback techniques for artists and others who wish to unlock more of their creative energies as well as to remove creative blocks.
Bio: Susan E. Antelis, MPS, BCB, BCN, LCAT, ATCS, LMHC
Susan has personally benefited as both an artist and a therapist from technologically guided stress management and calming training.

As a result, Susan has made it her life’s work and personal mission to mentor and train as many people as possible to spread this non-invasive type of healing training. She maintains a private practice on Long Island, and in Manhattan with satellites in Staten Island and New Jersey. She also teaches at Hofstra University as an Adjunct Professor in the Counseling and Art Therapy Program.

Rosemary Leonetti
I have made my living in the world of publishing and public relations, working as an editor, writer and photographer. I am also a published children's author.
Over the years, I have dabbled in stained glass artistry and watercolor painting but it was through my journey into the world of collage imagery that I found my voice as an artist.
I was blessed to have friends who guided me in my creative explorations. Martha Bilski introduced me to Anne Lindsay’s Watercolor: A New Beginning. This book taught me to show up to the blank canvas to play with no expectations and no fears—to silence my inner critic and nurture my intuitive spirit.
My mother-in-law Connie Kowalksi, who made her career as an art teacher, has always encouraged me with loving guidance.
Susan Antelis introduced me to the practice of Senna Frost’s Soulcollage. Although I never strictly adhered to the Soulcollage guidelines, Susan allowed me to explore my own path on this new road of self-discovery. I use a combination of found images and patterns, sometimes incorporating my own photography into my work.
In art as in life, the joy is truly in the journey.
