Comments on Feedback Sheets You have a real gift for making people feel comfortable right away. Normally I am not that good in a group, but you made it feel safe within the first few minutes. I’ve been to lots of workshops and it is not usually the case that people feel comfortable and open that quickly. - teacher
You created a bonding of women who did not each other. Such a gift. O. L.
I have not felt so free and so in touch at the same time in years. – Claudia G.
It was all different than I imagined. A lot more fun than I thought it would be. I will use this by remembering my grace and my power, and use it in my creativity. – Katrina L.
Were you expectations met?: Oh yes. I came to learn about the labyrinth and received so much more. I will try the “back to back” breathing with my husband. It was a beautifully planned day….so affordable and accessible to me. The dance was exhilarating and fun. - O. L.
I’m a therapist and will use it to refuel more and capture my own joy! Thank you so much! It was fabulous. My expectations were far surpassed. – A. A.
I will use this to slow down, be mindful, dance and laugh more. – St.M.
You are dynamic and very gifted. – Bernice W.
I will use this to help free up my self-conscious students. My expectations were exceeded. - J.C.
Please keep doing this.
You are a great facilitator because you have a huge heart and joyful energy! I will use this at school: incorporating movement in my classes, use more music, and in my community to help people to connect.
Great ideas for working with children. And reminds me about freedom in movement throughout life. I’d love to come again. - M.
I let go of sadness and let peace fill me. I am going to dance every day. Thank you, God for this day. – Karen L. |
