What students are saying:

This was a safe and nurturing space for me to release the stressors of my day and shed the personal armor that I put on to go out into the world, and to experiment with being incredibly tender with myself. These self-compassion techniques have completely changed the way I see my early painful experiences and helped me heal old wounds that I didn't realize were still impacting me.

Katie Veltum

I've studied self-compassion for years. Yet, taking the practices and painting them brought them to life in a way I had never experienced before. It's so powerful! I was terrified because I don't consider myself an artist in any way. And yet because of how Lea structures each art journaling practice, there was nothing intimidating about it. On the contrary, I feel so proud of the art I've made. I plan to continue using these tools again and again. I'm so deeply grateful.

Julie Mann

I had read about self-compassion and tried to do meditations, but something was not sinking in. Art journaling got me to slow down and absorb what self-compassion means. This changed my life. I highly recommend this course to anyone!
