What People Are Saying About the Experiential Workshops

Thank you, Erin, for the amazing felting session you led us in! Our time together was not only a lot of fun; it was also reflective and therapeutic.

Your calm, gentle and supportive presence added to the inspiring and uplifting experience. And at the end of the session, we each had our own adorable critter to take home – reminding us of the importance to pause, rest and recharge. Thank you for leading us in this very fulfilling exercise and project.

A Thank-You for a DIY Nature Kit

“Hello Erin … Life has gotten busy and I couldn't quite find time to sit down and enjoy the gift until tonight. Somehow, all of the little pieces you put in there had resonated with my life, values, family, cherished memories, and more. It was cathartic but ultimately so joyful to make. It was really so nice to also just do something for myself and reflect a bit. I haven't had much time for myself and I'm trying to reclaim that. The tag you put in with it said ‘Trust in Rest and Incubation’ was so fitting! All that to say, it was restorative to complete and I'm truly grateful.”
