Arts for Replenishment and Change: Guiding Principles

Guiding Principles

"First you have to uncover what it is that you have a reverence for. What it is that you love. Evolve in that fashion."
-- John Calvi, Quaker healer

"Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love."
-- Rumi

Arts for Replenishment and Change is a private practice founded in May 1999 by Dr. Annie Ready Coffey, a licensed clinical psychologist. After years of working in community mental health, Dr. Coffey realized that her next step was to pursue wholeheartedly what she really loves: using the healing properties of art, poetry, drama, and music in her work with her clients.

She firmly believes that releasing our creative energies can replenish us. She also believes that understanding what is revealed can fuel changes in our lives. The logo for Arts for Replenishment and Change is a peapod, a symbol of healthy growth and nourishment.

It is Dr. Coffey's hope that clients will partake of her life philosophy: expressing one's creativity is essential to one's complete health and well-being. You are invited to contact Dr. Coffey, to share your unique voice and vision, and to find pearls of wisdom within the nurturing peapod environment of Arts for Replenishment and Change. Welcome.
