Meet your facilitator
I’m Minelli Pinto, an Expressive Arts Facilitator and Wellbeing Practitioner based in Goa, India.
My work sits at the intersection of emotional education, community care, and creative expression. I support students, individuals, and teams in understanding themselves through movement, art, storytelling, and reflective dialogue.
With a background in architecture, I’m drawn to designing learning experiences that are immersive, experiential, and grounded in the environment we belong to.
Why Expressive Arts Therapy?
Expressive Arts Therapy is a creative, process-based approach to self-discovery and healing.
It invites you to explore thoughts and emotions through different art forms such as movement, painting, writing, sound, and storytelling rather than through words alone. By moving between these modes of expression, we access new perspectives, uncover inner resources, and find meaning in our experiences.
The focus is not on artistic skill, but on the process the act of creating becomes a way to listen, release, and reconnect with oneself. Grounded in sensitivity and awareness, Expressive Arts Therapy supports emotional wellbeing, resilience, and personal growth helping you meet life with greater clarity and creativity.
We often struggle to find words for what lives within us but our bodies and creativity know how to speak. Expressive arts therapy invites imagination, movement, and sensory experience to guide emotional understanding. You don’t need to be an artist, just human.
