Upon
arriving in Bruges, I found myself wondering why I flew half way across
the world to take a workshop with a bunch of strangers! Well, due to
our fabulous instructors, within the first fifteen minutes of the first
day of class, there wasn't a stranger in sight, only friends! JoAnne
Southard, Accountant, JMS Consulting, Los Angeles, CA
I
unreservedly recommend this course! Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel
taught their Creativity Workshop as American Cultural Specialists under
the United States Information Service. To say that they were extremely
effective is a vast understatement. They have abundant creativity, energy,
and a wealth of skills.
Gloria Berbena, Assistant Cultural Attache, US Information Service, US
Embassy, Rome, Italy
The
workshop was one of the best experiences I have ever had. It took
me out of my "safe zone" and exposed me to so much more. Amazing
people and talents. I loved being in NYC and surrounded by such a unique
group. I have signed up for the November class already.
Melinda Sih, Stay-at-Home-Mom, Kansas City, KS
I
was delighted by the course and didn't want it to end. Beforehand,
I wasn't sure what to expect and was pretty nervous. The emphasis on
relaxation, fun and imagination was excellent. This experience has helped
me to continue on my personal journey in a more integrated and soulful
way. What a lot to get from five days!
Jo Sumner, Consultant, Ethics Policy and Organizational Development,
London, UK
I
liken Shelley and Alejandro to Pied Pipers, leading workshop participants
along a path of creativity that opens both inner and outer worlds to
an extreme new awareness. Shelley and Alejandro are trustworthy guides
on the varied paths being traveled by the workshop participants. The
workshop will charm you, challenge you, and refresh the very way you
approach your work and daily living.
Diana Matteson, Art Therapist, Mechanicsburg, PA
Your
sensitivity and perceptivity in regard to others and the human condition
is unbelievable. I wish I knew 10 more of you! The Workshop
was incredible.
Neil H. Schwartz, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology,
California State University, Chico
It
amazes me, after a second Creativity Workshop with Shelley and Alejandro,
how they create an environment that invites participants to authentically
connect and explore. Connections that, often, continue after the workshop
is over. This experience helped me to slow down, stop, observe and
see. In this busy world this is a gift. Finally, i was reminded that
15 minutes a day could unlock doors. Yes, I can find, make 15 minutes
a day.
Dianne Grinnell, Librarian, Newport, RI
I
am so exicited to share what I got from this workshop, to enable
people to tap into unlimited creativity.
Christina Clodomir, Art Therapist and Dancer,
Port-au-Prince, Haiti
I
very much enjoyed the creativity class. Especially the visual journeys and
the writing parts were great. It was also great to meet all the different
people from the US but also from all over the world and from many different
professions.
Jana Hummel, Medical Doctor for Geriatric Patients,
Heddesheim, Germany
Attending
the Creativity Workshop in New York, was a blessing. It changed
my focus in writing. I was so concerned about the technique, that I
forgot about the roots of creative practice. I´m thankful of the way
Shelley and Alejandro reminded me about the triggers and the tools
to set free my creative process, as well to keep focus on the process
itself and not just look to the final product. The workshop was so
dynamic that the three and a half hours of class time went by like
three and a half minutes. I came back home full of energy, ideas and
the desire to write from another angle now.
Lissette Sutton, Author, Mexico City, Mexico
The
Creativity Workshop opened up new ways of thinking and creating for
me. I am a visual artist and I found the writing exercises very
freeing and flowed quite easily. This surprised me because I communicate
through my paintings and drawings. It excited me that I could create
through words as well as images and I am now contemplating ways to
blend the 2 in new pieces of work. Thanks to Shelley and Alejandro,
they where very inspiring!
Christine Myshka, Artist, Plainfield, NJ
In
the Creativity Workshop, I found a place to dream, to question, to
understand. I strongly believe that we should fearlessly guard such spaces
and ensure that they remain a part of this university. The Creativity
Workshop and Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel’s teaching are invaluable
assets to the University of Iowa.
Evan Mazunik, Student, University of Iowa
I
got so much encouragement to keep writing my own stuff and such a
warm and supportive response from participants as well as from the leaders,
especially Shelley. And I enjoyed working on the many exercises and projects
alone and with others.
Rodman Neuman, Editor, New York, NY
There
were so many kindred spirits with such wonderful diversity. The
Workshop was the right environment for us to share our insights and experiences.
In each session we were encouraged to open ourselves to new imaginative
possibilities. Something dormant within me came back to life as I rediscovered
my own creative spirit. Barriers seemed to melt and my horizons in creative
expression have begun to expand.
Mitchell Dowalgo, Pastor, Las Cruces, NM
My
best friend and I met in NYC to participate in the Creativity Workshop. I traveled from Germany, she from Virginia. We explored the corners of
our minds where creativity had been pushed aside by busy work and family
demands. I have written more since attending Creativity Workshop than
I had in the decade prior!
Kim Oshirak, MD, Germany
Thank
you so much for helping me to clarify and name so many things
about myself that I might never have discovered had I not been prompted
by your workshop! The most important thing I learned is that I don't
need a huge block of time to make art!
Janette Danielson, Interior Designer, Beaufort, South Carolina
This
Workshop proved to be more impacting and practical than I could
have imagined. Since returning home I've used its ideas and methods
in my own writing and in behalf of others in my practice. When I recall
the time with our instructors, I think of the warmth and acceptance
they extended to each of us. They created a positive atmosphere that
enhanced creativity and our connection with one another.
Denise Mullen, Psychologist, Irvine, CA
The
workshop experience was terrific for me. Each day was stimulating,
thought-provoking, I've been humming with a different energy during and
since the Workshop. It came at a good time for me personally and I enjoyed
both Shelley and Alejandro's presence and guidance.
Diane Weiner, Psychologist,
University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
The
Workshop awakened the creativity bug within me. I would do this
again and again. The new people that I met and the new friendships that
I have formed will last me till the end of my lifetime. I am so grateful
to you.
Ms.Tanya M. Keels, Admissions Records Specialist, Brevard Community College,
Melbourne, Australia
The
teachers understand something that many people only have vague ideas
about -- how to encourage creativity.
Jerry Abejo, Student, University of Iowa
If
it wasn't for this class I fear I never would have finished my master's
thesis. I was blocked until I took the Workshop. The class breaks down
all your fears about thinking and writing.
Francesca Salidu, Ph.D. candidate in Shakespeare, University of Pisa,
Italy
I
have taken this workshop twice and
have found each time equally enlightening
and enriching. The experience allowed me not only to see the world around
me in a different way, it also paved the way for a deeper understanding
and perspective of myself. The Workshop stimulated my imagination and
brought out parts of me I never knew existed. As a therapist I found
the journey into my own inner world enables me to be that much more available
to my clients, and paves the way for my own continuing exploration.
