“The fun of it!! Working with eternally relevant myths, dressing up, letting go of self-imposed restrictions, rediscovering the exhuberance of being a child at play without judgment or restriction. It was all very liberating and funny and poignant. And at times, richly profound and illuminating.” C.V. (Presenter)

"I discovered that I am unique – that there is no point comparing myself to others. That sometimes it is better for me to be silent/ no words – to just accept or trust my thoughts or feelings. I learnt to trust myself more and others. SB (Teacher)

“I am still swimming in a sea of good feelings!!! I think I was brought back to life after a very long sleep…” J.S. (Lawyer)
