What have Attendees Thought?

"I had the most peaceful and rejuvenating experience! Gazing out over the hilly landscape at sunset as the farm animals roam is truly stunning. The mindfulness exercise was grounding and prepared me to creatively engage my senses. Samantha facilitates the class beautifully, making you feel so comfortable to explore your emotions honestly. The activities combined with the company and setting are just perfection. I'm so thankful for our time there."-A, from Georgetown, TX

“I got so much out of my first Therapeutic Art workshop with Samantha. She is a
professional, engaging and passionate workshop leader. Samantha created a fun, safe,
relaxing and encouraging space to simply be, express myself freely and creatively. I
didn't have much expectations other than to enjoy myself and do something that would
help me to destress. Truly, I walked away with so much more. I came in feeling stuck
& distressed and I walked out hopeful and inspired by my newly shifted
perspective. I'd highly recommend therapeutic art workshops and sessions with
Samantha whether you just want to have fun, play and relax or are looking for a deeper
transformational and insightful experience. I'm looking forward to attending Samantha's
workshops on a regular basis as a part of my self-care, creative self-expression and
having fun.”

I liked this exercise because of how I was able to reflect on my feelings and responses
to the situations in my life. So much of the time, when I’m in a situation that may be
especially stressful, I look at my feelings as truth and as unable to be changed or
moved. However, with this exercise, I was able to change the painting, by creating a
different picture, to reflect a change in feeling about this situation. I realized that I can
change my response and change my feelings about especially stressful situations. This
allowed me to see that we have more power over feelings than we sometimes
realize, and they are often fluid and moving, much like the paint was in this
exercise.

beyond, both in time and in guiding us through this journey. Thank you also for sparking
further conversations within and amongst ourselves.
