Galit Shezifi with Access to Independence
“It was such a pleasure having you here yesterday. You made our day! I don’t think this space has ever witnessed the type of communal joy which resonated with all of us. Thank you for that! One of the highlights of the program for me was seeing a participant who never cracks even a half-smile (a big grump) with a big grin the whole time he was there. From the minute he came in and saw us gathered, beating on the drums, his smile was filled with joy!!! That was incredibly valuable and amazing to see.” F.S.
Francine Hoffman with Center for Discovery, La Jolla
“I always looked forward to the expressive arts session, even on the worst of days. You have done a fabulous job at distracting me so that I didn’t feel I was at a treatment center during the group. That means a lot to me. Thank you!” A. C.
Michele Lyons with Artful Sex Coaching
“Michele believes in the power of the art for self-discovery and emotional healing. She is non-judgmental and easy to talk to. Through art-making and other creative exercises, she has an intuitive ability to lead you to a recognition of the problem and its solution. She helped me work through feelings and issues that were holding me back. I recommend her highly.” F. J.
Rachelle Archer with TranscenDANCE
“Rachelle’s training was a powerful experience for our community, including teaching artists, board members, staff and alumni representatives. She designed the day so that it informed on key concepts, was engaging and interactive, and fused creative expression with deepening understanding. The result was that our community felt more connected and more knowledgeable. We connected dots important to our work, and were individually and collectively fulfilled through the experience. As a leader for transcenDANCE, I felt like this was such a valuable use of our time. I can’t wait to work with Rachelle again!” - Cat Corral, Director of TranscenDANCE Youth Arts Project
