Participants' quotes

The program helped me to regain my confidence, curiosities and motivation. It helped me rediscover parts of me that had been buried under years of work, raising a family and juggling the busyness of modern life. I now feel grounded and can offer emotional stability to myself and others. I believe in myself - something I haven’t felt in decades!

Cara

This program boosted my motivation to start and complete projects. I produced more art than I have in a decade while doing the program and even got a few contracts. Being able to be vulnerable in a group with so many diverse people was strength-building - we were able to overcome our differences and complete tasks, create a vision and follow through.

In Motion & Momentum+ provided me with the support to reach my goal of self-reflection - there are many tools in the program which help us in this direction. The individualized and group support helped me to get out of my comfort zone, one step at a time.
