“It all adds up to a life-transforming experience that happens slow enough for it to sink in and truly change you.
This experience has been everything I knew I needed and everything I had no idea I needed. It’s worth eight-times what I’m paying to do it!! I'm so grateful.” — Sarah Greenman, Creative Alchemist, 2020 Cohort


It feels like a part of me that I’ve been trying to express for so long finally has an outlet. All of the things inside me that wanted to be created — they now have a way out. Anya made the art and science of facilitation come alive for me in a way that was surprising and delightful, and has set the stage for deep learning. The variety of exercises and tools she introduced to us opened my mind to the possibilities and showed me how I can apply my own creativity to this process. The learning and connection I’ve experienced here has been much deeper than in other groups I’ve been a part of. Words really fail to describe how transformational this has been for me.” Adrianna Locke, Healer, Acupuncturist, Facilitator of Connection


“I love the experience of having this whole group of people who are going though the same creative process that I am, but each exploring their own completely different subject matters. That in and of itself is so valuable. This cohort is a place where we all go to each other for inspiration and encouragement, growth and accountability.” Pam Hardy, Environmental Lawyer, Yoga Teacher, Facilitator of Communication


I’ve never felt at home with a group of women before this cohort — never, ever. Thank you for seeing me. This is a fully co-created experience with incredible connection. It has been profound.” Jenny Downer, Photographer, Facilitator of Creative Liberation
