"It was a little hideaway, a breath of fresh air, a human touch with kindness, freedom to be true to yourself and choose to participate or not. I'm stimulated!"
"I enjoyed exploring parts of myself that I tended not to in the past."
"There were moments of discomfort, mostly due to my own inhibitions but valuable all the same. Great class! It accesses many levels--the creative, the spiritual, the emotional, as well as an opportunity for connection and insight. Thanks!"
"Motivating, rare! One of a kind! Needs to be more spaces open like this."

Joseph Patrick Quinn, one participant of Bridget's Creative Expressions classes, was moved to write a poem about his experience:
LET US MAKE MUSIC
Yes, let us hear music and dance;
sing as we can, unconcerned with opinions,
especially our own!
And paint, carve, write from the heart
how it is to see light/dark and all pairs
of opposites we're but poles of apart--
yet art and part of how it feels
to sense alive in all and all in us inseparate.
Our perception sets organ pipes vibrating cold brass alive;
all life, because we sense it, singing!
Yes, let us make music of what we feel;
with what's heard, let's dance!
