Deborah Koff-Chapin, creator of Touch Drawing®, shares her personal journey using this expressive process. Updated with an additional three-minute documentary of a live workshop, plus a 15-minute TED-style talk recorded in 2015, the film interweaves themes of creativity, personal health, and community.
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.
