About The Library Project
Human cultures have passed down accumulated knowledge primarily through stories, mythologies, poetry, music, and rituals. This library serves as a shelf that resonates with the fields of arts therapies through diverse forms of writing. This flexibility enhances and highlights the content, allowing you, the reader, to connect more deeply with what the text conveys.
This library is an open studio of texts and images for independent learning, guidance, inspiration, and writing. This kaleidoscope will expand and accumulate in Hebrew, English, and Arabic.
The texts and materials are sorted into six key topics, allowing you to easily find materials and content related to any topic or area that concerns you.
We are eagerly working on expanding the library and adding materials. We invite you to recommend relevant materials and/or send your text to the library.

Within minutes, it steams with gleaming vapors, slides from here to there and back again, grips everything and releases nothing. Or else, lets go all at once, failing to meet...

Studio principals - videos, Nona Orbach
This page features short videos that highlight key points in studio thinking for therapy and education. Since these topics often come up together, I decided to create brief videos and gather them here in this library. Feel free to use and share these videos; they may also be helpful for teaching and supervision. Save this page link for future reference, as more videos are planned to be added here.
