Really enjoyed! I had a feeling that life were made of cycles rather than another structure, but couldn't really explain it. This course brought light to my feeling, and I been trying to adjust my day and month to follow each element of the creative cycle in its respective moment. So far it has been very powerful yet peaceful - really a good flow feeling - each thing at its time. Thank you very much!

Beautifully thoughtful, honest and insightful. My limited knowledge of each element, I experienced moments of relatedness and moments of unfamiliarity. Stretching me, creating spaces I didn’t know I had capacity for. (Thank You inner critic). I will revisit again and again and feel very grateful to have crossed paths. Thank You for sharing this. ❤️
