Led by Two Experts
AMANDA SPILINGA
Integrative Movement Practitioner & ASTC Founder
Amanda works with people who understand themselves intellectually but still feel stuck in their bodies. She knows that language alone isn't enough—sometimes your body needs to speak first.
Through movement, she helps people explore the patterns they carry and experiment with new ways of moving, expressing, and responding. She is a Brooklyn Arts Council grantee committed to creating spaces where awareness, agency, and transformation can be experienced through the body.
MOLLY G. SIMMONS BRUSICK, LCAT, ATR-BC
Licensed & Board-Certified Art Therapist + Textile Artist
Molly brings together fine art and art therapy to create opportunities for expression beyond words. Her work uses art-making as a way to explore experience, sensation, imagery, and meaning through color, texture, line, shape, and material.
Molly moved to NYC following her graduation from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in 2008. In Spring 2022, she earned a Master's in Creative Arts Therapy (MPS) from Pratt Institute, graduating with honors and distinction and receiving the Excellence in Academic Achievement award. Prior to her graduate studies, Molly taught arts and crafts workshops throughout the NYC area and spent over eight years as a teaching artist and arts workshop instructor within local schools and communities.
Together, Amanda and Molly bring movement and art-making into one continuous experience—moving from sensation, rhythm, and gesture into color, mark, image, and form.
Workshop Disclaimer
Movement & Mapping is an educational, creative, and experiential wellness workshop.
Although the workshop is co-facilitated by a licensed, board-certified art therapist,
participation in this workshop does not constitute psychotherapy, mental health treatment,
medical treatment, or a substitute for professional clinical care. Participation does not
create a therapist-client relationship with Molly G. Simmons Brusick, LCAT, ATR-BC,
Amanda Spilinga, or Alternative Synergy The Company.
The workshop may include guided movement, body-awareness exercises, music, reflection,
body mapping, expressive art-making, and group discussion. Participants may modify,
observe, pause, or decline any activity at any time. Any activity involving physical
contact is optional and requires consent.
Participants are responsible for making choices appropriate to their own physical and
emotional well-being and for informing facilitators of any injury, medical condition,
allergy, sensitivity, or other limitation that may affect participation.
Because this is a group experience, participants may hear personal reflections shared by
others. Participants are asked to respect one another’s privacy; however, confidentiality
among participants cannot be guaranteed.
