what people said about art & soul
|
"I wanted to let you know that I attended the art therapy Professional Day session on Friday afternoon and it was the best PD that I have ever been to. All of us who attended were deeply moved by the activities that we took part in and grew from the experience. I found myself talking about what I learned in the training to friends and family over the weekend and I believe that others, even those not involved in education, would benefit from this session. I would highly recommend that this training be offered again at other PDs. -Teacher, West Springfield Public Schools |
"I have been taking great leaps (in joy -- very unusual for me) since the retreat, I am so deeply grateful for that opportunity. You changed my life. And many new aspects of vocation are emerging." -Adrian
"Extraordinary program…I loved every aspect of it…The format immersed us in abundance—visual richness, music, stories, poetry, creative materials and long stretches of time to create and together to support and share, all at our own pace. Wonderful!” -Karen
"So awesome! Generous, nourishing. This was my favorite workshop."

"When I think of what you gave to me, when — in this moment — I reach out with my being to sense what it is, I feel this deep well, this entire aura or unending circle of light within which I feel nurturance, giving, holding, and a place that allows my being to expand." -Robin
"On behalf of my family and myself, I wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to you for officiating yesterday at the interment of my brother’s ashes. I cannot imagine a more refreshingly original and appropriate service. Your words and your prayers were indeed beautiful and inspiring for all who gathered there. It was obvious that you invested a good amount of your time and effort in order to make this occasion both beautiful and meaningful for us all." -Charles
“I'm amazed at how working with art, combined with meditation and a little sharing of one's pain, realizations, joys and reflections with others in a small group took the toxic energy out of a current day issue and contributed to healing one more layer of an old lifelong hurt. My heart swells with appreciation!!” -Barbara
“I hardly have words to describe the immense feeling of hope, happiness, lightness, and healing that I left with after our last gathering. I expected our meetings to help me learn to forgive and to heal, but I never expected it to be almost miraculous.” -Michele
“It has been a deeply powerful experience for me as I have met brave, creative, delightful people whom I feel so fortunate to be connecting with. Thank you for your gentle, inquisitive, playful spirit. I look forward to many more creative and transformative experiences with you.” -Deb
“The women in our group were all absolutely amazing. The pain, respect, trust, and wisdom that was shared in the circle was so powerful and awe inspiring, it was one of the most moving things I have ever witnessed. I feel very blessed and truly honored to have known all of them. They have touched my life and I won't ever forget them.”-Sue
"The Fridays I've attended felt like treasured space and time to be meditative, peaceful and thoughtful as well as inspired and surprised! I plan to keep coming." -Helene
