"I lived and died and live again to go forth in the world with the courage to lead, to love, and to create. I have rediscovered the source of my creativity, laughter, and affection."

.... I feel empowered, creative, loved, nurtured, healed.

"I have "gained" my personal freedom... my sense of expression. I have accessed many parts of my creative soul which have been coming out in bits and pieces since early childhood. This course "brought it all together" for me. Not only will I paint, I will dance, I will write, I will teach and I will finally and forever more express my essence and being authentically!"

"Experiences that were most meaningful / powerful for me were --finding the painting itself, feeling the 'truth' of the painting in my body and having a chance to express the darkness and the light."

"Painting from the Source has made a profound contribution to a paradigm shift - what would my life look like if my energy were not so taken up with trying to be 'perfect.'"

"(I had) the ability and encouragement to be free to be myself without any possibility of criticism."

"I have named my wounds, I have emotionally owned and accepted them. My life can go on. My creativity has been realized and released."

"My powerful inner journey - awakening to truths and accepting all of me: I am multi-dimensional and it's all perfect!"

"This has been a shape shifting for me. "

"...the medium of painting was more powerful than I ever imagined. I learned to trust my goddess-given creativity and discovered the artist within me."

"Every human being is an artist. As adults we can recreate the boundless joy of unself-conscious art by setting aside intellectual critique and self-doubt and reconnect with 'the Source' - the spiritual center others may call instinct or soul." --Aviva
