Some examples of feedback from workshops, classes and trainings...
"You said it would be nourishing – and you were right."
- KC, Bristol
"Thankyou for a rich and inspirational weekend - I came away feeling nourished, awakened and positive for the future. Especially I felt a deepened awareness of the context of life – layers falling away to more greatly appreciate the time, space and energetic dimensions of this life and the connections between all that is, has been and will be... I also valued the space, numbers, and gender mix of the group, and the mix of movement, art, sharing, visualisation. The weekend was well structured yet with a sensitively responsive flow of input."
- RK, Bristol
"A wonderful weekend. I felt so much more aware of my body this week. And how I interact with others.
'Dancing is not rising to your feet painlessly
like a whirl of dust blown about by the wind.
Dancing is when you rise above both worlds,
tearing your heart to pieces and giving up your soul. (Rumi)'"
- MM, Reading
"I truly feel like a different woman to the one who walked into the workshop on Saturday morning.... It's quite astounding! I have learnt so much and have taken away so many lessons and so much positivity... I am still so greatfull to have shared the weekend with each one of you, for all of the open-heartedness, wisdom and joy and truth that you all brought to it... Thank you!"
- HT, Bristol
"What have I gained from the course - greater awareness of my body and it's physical abilities, a greater acceptance of my physical imperfections and limitations; however through that a greater understanding of my psychic and spiritual strengths.
"What did I like - what didn't I like? I loved all of it even when it hurt like a knife in the guts or my heart being ripped out - the release was wonderful - I liked the format of the groups meetings, no pressure to unload but equally total support if you chose to. I loved building a trust between all the group, acknowledging and enjoying differences and shared experiences.
"The only thing I would highlight as being difficult was the fact that I take on people's emotions very easily and lots of times just wanted to hug them to help the hurt heal.
"What would I change - I'd prescribe the course on the NHS, alongside psychotherapy, instead of antidepressants and tranquillisers. Otherwise nothing that comes to mind!
"I'd just like to add an enormous thank you for guiding us so safely on our voyage through the Waves, with your navigation I knew that although I might get washed over, and at times feel like I was being shipwrecked I always knew that dry land was at hand. Bless You."
- NJ
