“I’m trying to find the words to express how grateful I am and how profound this process has been”
“An easing of creative blockages”
“…a gentle and deep learning process which has left me with some profound revelations and new tools”
“I feel free to breathe the arts with inspired inhalation again… and you, Katy, have been a driving force in… small, incremental acts of change that have snowballed into mountain-climbing leaps”
