We opened my creative story like a dream, which allowed us to explore the colors, textures, and patterns of the story. I became more curious about these characters, seeing the story through each of their perspectives and asking questions of them, such as why they are here and what they want to say. I became an explorer, visiting a new land and meeting new people. I found the sessions to be a deep exploration of self through the creative process, which helped me release the pressure of producing a work and instead recast me as a steward of the story and characters.

I feel I met parts of myself that I hadn’t expected. I was able to listen to my own heart and mind in a way that felt both comforting and insightful. It felt like a step forward in my artistic growth—as if I had discovered a new tool that helps me resonate more deeply with art itself! This shift has helped me feel a little freer in expressing myself with clarity and confidence. I feel really grateful to have encountered such a workshop and such kind people. I sincerely hope that more people will have the chance to experience something like this!

Together, we uncovered a deeply meaningful theme that has since influenced my career development, the courses I now offer, and the way I live my everyday life.
Through our work, I was able to recognize, feel, and truly understand the profound importance of the body and body-oriented practices. That clarity continues to grow stronger each day.
