“Artful Dreamers Studio changed my life! I was stuck in so many areas of my life and Nadine’s process painting helped me immensely . I started my journey almost 15 months ago and my life has shifted dramatically in only the most positive ways. Artful Dreamers is the safest most supportive place for self-exploration and deep healing. It is a place where you have permission to meet yourself wherever you are….with full permission to let go! Be messy, be wild, creative, funny, sad, afraid, whatever it is – it’s okay to FEEL! I’ve made life-long friends at Artful Dreamers and when I walk through those doors, I feel like I’ve come home.”
Thank you, Nadine for this beautiful offering! Debbie
