The Magic Carpet Ride

Art Therapy in the ‘Real’ World

A Reflective Memoir

by Dan Anthon

“Anticipation builds from the first sentences as we step onto the Magic Carpet to ride with Dan through his life. This is an extraordinary memoir – visually engaging, symbolically rich, and brimming with wisdom.  Through lyrical prose, compelling poetry, and dynamic images we are encouraged to share and learn from the emotions, hopes, and dreams that have guided Dan’s personal life, professional career, and life-long creative process. What a magnificent way to share the power of creativity and art therapy!”
