Here are a few comments from previous Workshop participants: “

Wow – I’m looking out at the gorgeous night sky & reflecting over the day, everyone’s art, experiences – and what I went through – WOW! I feel like I was a sponge, absorbing all the magnificent information, watching how Derek dealt with everyone’s personal journey and blockages – it was incredible! I’ll work on my painting for next time! I feel light, I feel free from anger, I feel liberated! Wow – thank you for introducing me to Derek and his healing methods…..” - Sari, Finland

“All the circles were closed – except come. Derek asked M how old she was and then if she had any children – yes, a son only 18 months old. Then he asked which part of her picture was her favourite. Dropping to her knees, she nodded towards the bottom right hand corner, now only inches from her face. There was an open circle I hadn’t seen before, in contrast to the darker shapes in the rest of the picture, this one was filled with the light blue & pink colours of a summer dawn. Leaving the circle open, she had apparently provided Derek with a vital clue to her biography. Indeed, the open circle symbolized M’s little boy – he saved my life, she said, quietly, as tears begun streaming down her cheeks. Before then my life was routinized, dead, going round in circles, repetitive, dull – dead. She had given herself the answer by leaving a door open in the picture through which she could escape out into life, vibrant, unpredictable, vulnerable, precious. We all sat silent, moved by the magic of the moment of unfolding meaning, an inner sanctum shared. There would be many more like this during our weekend……”
