Its website, Figure Editions, Companions, presentation slides, workshops, and related resources invite attention, conversation, and personal reflection through image and language.
Not Counseling or Professional Care
AwakenArts does not provide counseling, psychotherapy, mental-health assessment, diagnosis, treatment, crisis intervention, medical advice, legal advice, financial advice, or any other licensed professional service. Use of this website, purchase or use of an AwakenArts product, or participation in an AwakenArts workshop does not establish a therapist-client, counselor-client, healthcare-provider, supervisory, fiduciary, or other professional relationship with Susan Ann Shepler or AwakenArts.
Symbolic and Reflective Material
Images, poems, questions, prompts, themes, and facilitator observations are invitations to artistic and personal reflection. They are not clinical interpretations, assessments, diagnoses, or statements of fact about any reader or participant. Readers and participants are free to accept, reject, reinterpret, or decline any prompt.
No Guaranteed Outcome
AwakenArts does not promise or guarantee any particular personal, emotional, spiritual, educational, professional, financial, or workshop result. Experiences vary according to the person, group, facilitator, setting, and manner of use.
Personal Responsibility and Professional Assistance
Readers and participants remain responsible for their own choices, participation, and use of the materials. Anyone who needs mental-health care, medical care, crisis assistance, legal advice, financial advice, or another professional service should consult an appropriately qualified and licensed provider. AwakenArts is not an emergency or crisis service.
