Feedback from previous participants:

“Dinny and Gulia are wonderful hosts. They lead the sessions in such an inclusive and empathetic manner. Their love and passion for humanity is evident and they make each session feel special.”

“Every session was an opportunity to learn more about myself and about finding creative safe ways to express and explore the many emotions inside. It has given me a programme of self care and a way of giving to myself that I had not considered before.”

“I love that you do not need to be arty or creative, that is not the purpose of these sessions, it is the process which matters, the ability to let go of your self critic and to allow yourself to be free to be you.”
