“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

“The circles of women around us weave invisible nets of love that carry us when we’re week and sing with us when we are strong”. – Sark
