Maria shares her fascinating experience of pioneering Dance/Movement Therapy in Post-Conflict Colombia.
Maria Andrea Garcia (SrDMP) works as a Psychologist, Dance/Movement Psychotherapist, higher and further education teacher, and consultant in psychosocial projects in Bogotá, Colombia. Her almost 20 year experience has strengthened her theoretically and practically in multicultural environments (UK and Colombia).
In 2013, she moved back to Bogotá to pioneer Dance/Movement Therapy in the country. She describes her arrival, as “landing in the wound of Colombia”, and her purpose is to introduce DMT as a needed approach to address the needs of a healing country. On the context of a peace process, she´s been working with victim population and with operators who work with the victim population from a psychosocial perspective.
Maria teaches Arts Therapies in main Universities in the country, has her own private practice, and is developing the first Diploma on Dance/Movement Therapy in Bogotá.
