Expressive Arts Iran
The Center was founded by Elahe Rahimian, an international supervisor and registreated expressive arts therapist (REAT), who is also the Middle East co-coordinator of the International Expressive Arts Association (IEATA). With years of experience and dedication, Elahe Rahimian has played a pioneering role in shaping the development of expressive arts therapy in Iran.
Elahe organized and led the first international training programs in Expressive Arts Therapy in Iran, in collaboration with Dr. Markus, one of the leading figures and pioneers in the field worldwide.
As an international supervisor and mentor, she continues to illuminate the path for those passionate about expressive arts and its therapeutic potential, helping inspire and train a new generation of professionals in this transformative discipline.
Expressive Arts Iran was founded by Elahe Rahimian. The center offers professional training programs in expressive arts therapy, along with supervision courses and group therapy sessions.
Expressive Arts Iran
We are excited to have over 50 registered participants from around the world, including Afghanistan,
Australia, Canada, Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Italy, Taiwan, Malta, the Netherlands, the Philippines,
Romania, Thailand, the UAE, the UK, and the United States. Their presence will truly make the workshop
cross-cultural. This workshop involved a creative process using the medium of tea. Since tea is a primary beverage in
the East and Asia, it holds significant cultural meaning and is often featured in gatherings, important
meetings, and social events. The various types, colors, and textures of tea can serve as fluid and dynamic
tools for creating impact.
