Prescott College, Prescott, AZ 

The Prescott College Expressive Arts Therapy Summer Institute (EATSI) 2026 is taking place at Prescott College May 27 through June 5th. EATSI brings experts in expressive arts therapy and art therapy together with students for a unique intensive learning experience. Through experiential learning, self-reflective practices, and collaborative opportunities, participants integrate theories and methods of practice while exploring applications and techniques in a creative and inclusive environment. EATSI is sponsored by the Prescott College Master of Science in Counseling and Related Programs.

The Summer Institute is a core residential learning component for students enrolled in the Expressive Arts Therapy program at Prescott College. Held on campus each spring, the Institute provides rich relational opportunities to gain awareness, clinical knowledge, personal growth, and experience in expressive arts and art therapy. 

Participants gain deeper understanding of professional applications while engaging, unmediated, in stimulating creative processes that encourage self-expression and reflection. All EAT enrolled students are required to attend at least once during their program. MS in Counseling students, alumni, prospective students, and community members are welcome to attend all or part of the Summer Institute. 

The Institute is scheduled to be held in person at Prescott College. A detailed schedule including opportunities for personal growth, reflection, and several breaks each day, will be provided to registrants prior to the Institute.
