"Through art therapy with Straja I have learned a better, healthier way
to deal with my angry feelings. The Art work facilitates a deeper insight
into my angry feelings and the hurt, fear and pain that is behind the anger.
Instead of trying to numb my anger or squash it down inside of me, I can
feel the anger and express it through the art work. The creative process
gives my angry man a voice in a safe and truly healing way. I have learned
that angry feelings can be worked out through clay and various art forms
and can be transformed into a treasure of insights."

"I wanted to let Spiritual Directions know what a great experience the course was for me. I feel as though I have learned a whole new language and have discovered a very powerful path for soul expression, connection, personal discovery, and healing. This course has had a tremendous impact on my personal journey and I am very excited about learning more so that I can bring this work into my retreat practice. I am very interested in Art, Nature, and Spirituality and this course encompasses all of those things."

What were the highlights of Nourshment for you?
"The presence of Earth-Soul-Voice-Creator here. You've created a space
for earth to speak through us all together."
"The sense of being cared for, the delight of being able to "play",
the satisfaction of creating with my hands, the opportunity to work within
a comunity and the experience of working with Straja and Maddie."
Restoration of the Soul
"Not only did I experience a restoration of my soul, but I also experienced deepening and expanding of the capacity of my soul. The spirit is itself again and again recreated with imaginal tracking work. That is the wonder.... that creativity can be experienced and understood as an infinitely powerful force within each person."
