"You did a fabulous job! Everyone
was really delighted.... People really were encouraged to go
deeply within and the results were shared wonderfully... Your
program of Healing Arts was a great success. You did indeed
help us to "Utilize Passions to Reduce Stress and Find
Joy," challenging us to find the place that best describes
us, write about it, and then create a 3-D representation, turning
the "trash" you so plentifully supplied into our
own special treasure.... It was so much fun to create out of
imagination, memory, and recycled scraps and objects."
