Delighted to have attended Kuntsungi gestalt art therapy training on the weekend. This is a trauma informed approach that allows you to see the 'broken self' and reconstruct it. It was a fabulous experience and I look forward to continuing my creations and offering a kuntsungi workshop soon!

22/12/2023

If you haven't been to Allambee Sanctuary Conscious Hearts Rising, I invite you to try it out 🌈 There is such a welcoming and accepting vibe 💕. I was nurtured in restarting my dance offerings, which have evolved into so much more (like Rhythm & Fire pictured above) and all my ideas were encouraged and watered with love. I am so grateful to everyone in this community Johanna Gibb, Jarna, Michael, Fran, Rose, Will (and all the important people I am awkwardly leaving out - sorry!). I am so grateful and I will never forget your kindness to me.
