The video begins as Deborah creates several Touch Drawings through the movement of her fingers on the page. In picture and word, she recounts the inspiring story of her discovery of Touch Drawing, noting its varied therapeutic uses. She also discusses how important it has been for her to train others in this versatile method. Viewers see how to do Touch Drawing and are helped to understand how it becomes a modality for deep inner work and insight. It is evident that Touch Drawing can be used by therapists in a wide range of settings, and with children as well as adults.
Deborah shows that Touch Drawing may be used by art therapists with both clients who are not confident about making art and skilled artists. The use of the hands directly drawing on paper is described as opening gateways to the soul. Those who experience Touch Drawing often connect with their own spirituality and find that it can become a way to receive responses to questions and intentions.
