This is one of the most incredible courses on this entire platform. I can’t even properly convey how valuable this content is. I feel like I just attended a multi-day graduate level conference. So many nuggets and resources. I especially love how e so succinctly shares insight into per process and practice. She just opened a whole other realm for me, as far as combining my love for both intuitive art and writing! Please give us more content e.!!

e has an ingenious wave of teaching principles of art and deep reflections on life through her love of language & literature & so many forms of art. I was drawn in from the beginning. I see letters, words, language, poetry and art differently now. There’s no turning back!
