They understood my current situation and cared about my mental health. They shared useful tools to help my PTSD. I still have work to do but I feel better knowing I can reach out to my mentor”.

I’m Sam and I had a great time today doing some calligraphy. It was very relaxing and I really felt like I discovered something that I want to continue. It was really well put together and it was a great experience.
My name is Karan, so I found today’s experience really soothing and relaxing, as a really valuable moment for us to take a deep breath and relax and reflect on ourselves and our life meaning and really immerse in the process while we are doing that – yeah it was really good.
Hi, I’m Jade. I really enjoyed today’s class. It was very thought provoking and it was a wonderful chance to connect with my colleagues and learn a little bit more personally about our experiences and we were able to unite through the power of art.
Hi, my name is Tara. I just completed the calligraphy course and I felt the entire workshop itself was very peaceful, very meditative, but also, learning about the traditions and the history and the emotion behind calligraphy and the art form itself, was incredibly breathtaking and its something I’m definitely going to think about after I leave.
My name is Chris, I thought it was very kind of enlightening and very freeing and think that well I kind of wasn’t really expecting how like emotional it was, in terms of just like – you could reflect on yourselves – it was truly an amazing experience.
Hi I’m Rebecca. I really really enjoyed today’s workshop I thought that it was crazy relaxing and I feel like I haven’t really done anything so meditative… something where you would think about yourself probably since secondary school… so it was really really amazing to just take it slow and think about things… such an amazing workshop.
