“Many thanks for your sessions. I’ve found at the end of each one I’m intrigued and eager to know more. Maybe because through other people it is possible to learn about myself. Maybe because through having new glimpses about myself I am also more open to learning about other people…a realisation that it is alright to be sensitive…that it is alright to admit to feeling light and not dark, without a feeling of retribution” D.W., Musician
“We know our members greatly appreciated your art therapy session and we received fantastic feedback from the members including:
‘The art therapy session in the afternoon elicited some surprising responses that I don’t think many of us expected, almost a ‘freeing’ experience in a strange way’ Thank you for making our Members Day such a success.”
Louise Bayne – CEO, Ovacome; The Ovarian Cancer Support Network

All this is a great contrast with my experience of art at school in which I learned a hundred ways to make brown.” Steve, film-maker

“Just to thank you again for yesterday. It was such a worthwhile experience, both on a personal and professional level. I arrived quite weak and left feeling recharged and stronger…no doubt fostered by your expert, unintrusive and sensitive facilitation. This, coupled with the group, the work and the ‘gift’ provided the setting where transformation could take place. Art therapy is truly an exciting therapeutic medium.” Linda, psychotherapist
“I wanted to share with you my thoughts on Yafit Nahari’s workshop which I participated in on Sunday the 15th of June. I found the workshop really well planned-out, and the activities so insightful and creative.. Yafit did a brilliant job in my opinion with how she held the session, and I thought the way she reacted to the emotional responses within the group was both gentle and enlightening. The setting was comfortable and there was such great choice of art material.. It was amazing to see how much one can learn and experience in 2 hours with a sensitive facilitator and rich and creative environment!” N.

Each activity was very valuable, allowing me to absorb the very essence of art and mindfulness, feeling the value of both. I felt that you provided a very safe space for each of us to be ourselves and show our strengths and vulnerabilities. A very big thank you. I will be looking into your other training”. K
