Endometriosis artwork goes to neuroscience conference in Adelaide!

In the last week I have negotiated the final part of the process and I am pleased to announce that artwork from the “Endometriosis: Online Arts Project” (2010), part of which features in my article in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Arts Therapy (ANZJAT), is going to the NOI 2012 Conference in Adelaide in April:

It is a wonderful leap for endometriosis and art therapy to be featured amongst other patient artwork at a neuroscience conference, and also to be there with speakers on chronic pelvic pain to which the artwork relates.

Graduate Certificate of Business Management (Project Management)

This week I began the task of juggling Board commitments, new work project planning and returning to study (project management) to work towards a long-term goal of bringing creative arts therapy, women’s health, and the ethical development of projects together. I have to admit to enjoying being a student again and increasing my knowledge in a new – yet related – field.

From out of the shadows: A creative arts therapist’s reflections on bringing endometriosis into the arts therapy milieu

Just wanted to share the news of my recent publication “From out of the shadows: A creative arts therapist’s reflections on bringing endometriosis into the arts therapy milieu” in the “Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art Therapy”.  As far as I’m aware, it’s the first time - since 1995 - that endometriosis has touched Art Therapy literature anywhere in the world, but if others are aware of more recent publications on the topic, please let me know (and send me the citations!) My direct email address is: tmong@iinet.net.au
