The drumming brought me into the right side of the brain.  I felt more creative and inspired.  I believe that everyone felt the same way. I think it had something to do with the silence.

Testimonials

Hi Leanne,

Arriving home in a wild state of delight and something lovely to show off to my (very impressed) family made for a great and memorable day!  Thank you very much for the generous sharing of your remarkable skills as artist, teacher, meditation guide, healer and tactful colour councillor.  It made the plunge into a new experience both very interesting and exciting.  I can hardly wait to get started on further explorations with Mandalas.  

I loved the day spent in your warm and welcoming studio, and the pleasure will remain with me.  I also enjoyed the company of the fine group of women who gathered for the delve into the fascinating experience of Mandala making.

Warm regards,
Mary

Hi Leanne,

I just wanted to thank-you again for the beautiful workshop. It was such a great experience at such a difficult time for me. It’s amazing how things present themselves at the right time. This was the right time for me to be a part of your world.  Thank-you!!!

As a bonus my family thought my creation was great.  When I walked in our home, and my boys saw the mandala, they thought it was something I purchased. They seemed quite impressed that it was actually my work. That in itself was worth all the hard work, and I am inspired to continue with it.  Of course, my husband loved it too, and immediately picked a spot for it in our family room. Even if they didn’t give me such great praise, I myself felt so wonderful about my finished product. It was a lot of hard work physically, spiritually and emotionally. And I needed it.

All I can say is THANK-YOU!!!!

I hope to learn more from you.

Namaste,

Rachele
