TESTIMONIALS FOR THIS WORKSHOP

​

“In the end, this workshop was about connecting with the spirit of not only the earth but the spirit that resides within us, and every “named” thing on this planet. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who is desiring a deeper connection to humanity and the world around them.” –Danica Sawtelle

​

This workshop was such a beautiful experience. I grew so much as a person. Michelle is an incredibly knowledgeable and supportive teacher. I felt very held in this class as I was transported through a journey of nature and self-discovery. My greatest lesson was in learning the growth and self-esteem building that can happen as an adult through the creative process. The experience was beyond just a storytelling workshop. – Jill Farrant​​​​

​The Stories from the Earth workshop is an opportunity to explore our relationships with nature—how we are reflected in nature and how nature is reflected in each of us. It also provides the space to develop an appreciation of that human-nature connection; to allow it space to breathe to help us better tell our stories from the earth. I learned something about myself that I had not previously understood or even realized on a deep level—that I have been bending my nature to ‘fit’ for some time, and that it’s a story I want to share with others because I’m finally learning to lean into and embrace my nature.” – Roslyn Ali

​

This workshop helped me make a connection with the other worlds. It allowed me to explore realms of feeling beyond our daily routine. It was also a very helpful and inspiring group. If you don’t feel like you write well, don’t be bashful. You will be well supported.” –Carole Jackson

​

I would recommend this workshop because it’s very interesting, dynamic, and fun. Little by little, Michelle Adam leads you through various activities (beautiful poems, videos, music, questions, comments, reflections, etc.) and when you least realize it, you are already writing a story that has life, strength, feeling, emotion, and creativity to it. My perspective changed in different ways. I became more sensitive to the wonderful natural world that surrounds us and more grateful for everything it gives us at every moment of our lives. It was a very interesting process because first Michelle Adam sensitized us to put soul into our story. With a warm and simple way, she helped me feel confident and made it is easier for my creativity to flourish. This workshop also reminded us of that genuine love we feel for nature… of how many times we’ve been amazed by the beautiful landscapes, the rainbows, the flight of butterflies, the immensity of the sea, the sunsets, the majesty of the mountains, the beauty of animals, and the majesty of the moon. This is about recognizing that we are also as part of this great puzzle that is nature. — Claudia Zamudio​
