"This was my first time attending the Creativity and Madness conference and I must say it was such a refreshing experience! It provided both research and facts on a plethora of subjects, but more importantly it was a deep EXPERIENCE for me. Like a pebble in a pond, the ripple affects will reverberate out - my own deep experience will expand into my work with clients and the art that I create. I also love the legacy behind the Creativity and Madness conference - designed by a man who thought outside the box decades ago, to today seeing his children and grandchildren continuing this legacy. Thank you for offering this beautifully deep training that at times touched my soul. You are making a difference in this world."
