  Kali Bird Isis is an expressive arts therapist with over 20 years of experience working with women and children of all ages. Her work has primarily been with individuals who are building a life for themselves after sexual or physical abuse, grief due to major life losses, homelessness, displacement, fear, self-esteem issues including chronic shame, and loss of a sense of self to one’s own artistic, spiritual, or nature-based relationship with the world.  She has worked closely with girls and boys in both school and private settings. She has created and facilitated coming-of-age groups and loss work for grieving children using the arts and nature as a means to gently opening children to their own healing process.

Kali’s group work with women who have been derailed or disenfranchised in any way has paved the way to the creation of Life Stories, a performance based group for women wanting to share their stories through the arts with the public. Much of this work has been develoKali Bird Irisped through her innate sense of the arts and nature as tools in providing those in the therapeutic process creating healing visions for and of themselves in their individual journeys. Stories often have the means to heal not only the artist who creates them, but also those around us who witness the profundity of the telling. Stories connect us and provide us the mirror with which to see our own reflections in the world around us. Using poetry, theatre, art, dance, nature, and all that we feel to create these stories calls on us to be brave, to be strong, and to be willing to help create that healing pathway for others.

Kali’s commitment to the challenging work of re-building lives after trauma continues to inform her own spiritual path. She believes deeply that it is when we attend to our own broken places within us and allow our voices and stories to be raised up, that we recover our true integrity and commitment to the healing of our planet.
