Teleseminars are like continuing education. Topics will either cover expressive arts techniques or the business side. Learn a new technique to share with your clients or to engage in yourself. Or for those who are solopreneurs, learn new ways to build your business such as social media, better websites, SEO (search engine optimization), who to send your press release to, ebooks, etc. Teleseminars are quarterly.

 Member-to-Member Discounts
One of the reasons GNEAF exists is to a build community for Expressive Arts Facilitators worldwide. We love what we do as facilitators but sometimes we prefer to be the participant/client/workshop attendee. We need to honor ourselves and engage in self-care to reenergize. Members are invited to offer special pricing to other members for services related to expressive arts.
 Collaboration Opportunities
GNEAF will be applying to different centers around the globe to be a speaker or workshop facilitator. We will need Members to fill the facilitators' spots.
 Bi-weekly e-Newsletter
We all get so much email. But this one page e-Newsletter will be chockfull of useful information like job opportunities, upcoming events and collaborations, new member-to-member discounts, and more.
