TESTIMONIAL-

Morgine Jurdan I notice my breath more, my interaction with other people, and my environment.  So much valuable information, I can continue to learn long after the class is over!” 

a year later – “When I was able to see how I looked at life differently, it made me more creative… Now when I get stuck, like in business or writing, I realize I can just begin to step back and look at things from many different points of view and step outside the box!

It is amazing how a photography metaphor can transfer into so many other areas of my life! It’s creativity that leads to success.” Morgine Jurdan

Jodi Flesberg Lilly photo“What a great course.  I felt lit up, energized and revitalized.  ‘Inspiration’ is the word that comes to me.  I saw the whole world anew.  I also loved seeing the world through other people’s eyes.

"I’ve been taking pictures since I was 9 years old.  In this course, for the first time, I started noticing how my energy shifted when I had a camera in my hand, how excited I got.  I was able to focus more.  The course assignments gave me a heightened awareness of how to look at things, noticing colors, textures and shapes I had never seen before.” Jodi Flesberg Lilly


Blaise Allen "I’ve learned so much aboutBlaise with Feather
seeing
.
That’s the reason I took the class to start with.  It was looking at your photos and your vision helped me to become a better photographer. Now I see differently. I will never see the same way again.  And that’s what I wanted when I started." Blaise Allen


"This changed the way I look at the world, as I Marion Froese

became so much more aware about details. It intensified my awe for Nature's compositions. If you want to have an experience, that literally changes the way you look at objects, people, and the world in general, take this course".  Marion Froese, Germany

Actually, as I said, your photos inspired me to take photographs focusing on details and avoiding ugly buildings, fences etc. I live in a beautiful medieval city but the district my flat is situated is not so beautiful, so I decided to cut out the beauty out of urban ugliness. Instead of envying you that you live in that beautiful place in Florida  :) I decided to transform the reality I see into something beautiful.  - Ewa Nartowska, Poland


Marifran KorbNot only have you pointed out an alternative to the State of Funk, but you opened a whole new world for me. The biggest effect is that I see 'ordinary' things in a heightened way.

While I did notice things before, it wasn't with the same depth of fascination and it wasn't with quite as many things. Now alert to the magic inherent everywhere, I see nuances. I'm sure I will continually discover more on this new Life of Joy. Thank you for your wisdom and generosity.
” Marifran Korb

Paula Battaglio "It is always a blessing to be invited to step outside of limited ways of perceiving and be open to a larger perspective.  It moves us out of stuck places and opens our hearts and minds to the lessons that are waiting for us, so very close, if we will take but a few steps in a different direction.

 

In a very gentle, visually stunning and loving way, you offer the opportunity for perceptual shifts that help foster growth.  Great stuff!Paula Battaglio
