All of my programs have one thing in common, I present them with the intention of having the participant (you) open to your creative process by making various arts. Most of my classes and workshops contain a writing component and a goal of having you experience a sense of satisfaction from the process of creation and the pleasure gained from having something tangible crafted by your own hands, and the knowledge that you can now repeat the act of creation for your self or share this new skill with others!

I take great pleasure in expressing myself creatively through a variety of writing and arts processes. I workshop because I also enjoy sharing my skills and techniques with others wanting to explore their own modes of self expression.

I hope that you will join me and my colleagues by participating with us in our creative adventures!

You can choose individual or group retreats, workshops, conferences, and Reiki Sessions!

Looking forward to meeting you!

Patricia C. Coleman
