• Michelle’s is the best course I’ve ever taken anywhere! She is outstanding and made this a safe environment for all of us. My life has changed dramatically because of this course. It surpassed all of my expectations! Ever since her creativity class, I have been writing more songs than I ever dreamed of. I just found out that one of my songs got selected for a CD on “Women’s Stories.” I am absolutely thrilled about it because I know a lot of people submitted songs. Holly Near has a song on it! I have to thank Michelle for opening up this whole new world. I still think of her as that spark that got it all going! Lori Kats

I particularly liked keeping a journal and the lecture explaining why we see things the way we do, and do things the way we do. Frank Alvarez





• I took the class to figure out who I am—how to live life creatively. Even though I am in a different generation from most of the class, the course helped me in ways I didn’t anticipate.

• It was her structure of ideas and activities that invigorated and challenged me this year, more and more as the course went on. I found myself more intrigued, more drawn in by where she was trying to take us. I expect those threads of ideas to extend far into the future. I recall that she spoke about developing a book around her material. I hope that she does because she has a lot to offer. To the others in the class-the personal stories over the last months touched me. In spite of the great diversity of life experience and circumstances, we found a common ground in the struggle to be authentic. I want to believe this is just the beginning. Bob Hall
