Praise for Val’s Workshops:

“Val and her workshops are like no other. Val is a shaman, Native flute player, hand drummer, poet and lover of words and ideas, of connections and spirits. She welcomes her writers with warmth and humor, treats us with gentleness and respect, cultivates our uniqueness. Val's workshops open places I've never been before--whether I'm reflecting on my past or present or leaping into other realms. As our circle of writers reads our writes, the richness deepens and layers, broadens and soars. Our spoken words weave a nest to hold us all. It is enchantment.”

“It was a wonderful thing to do for myself ~ to set down with this group and let the juices flow. Thank you all so much for making it a special afternoon.”

Annette P.

“Your music and poetry and prompts and journeys took all of us obviously very deeply. The writing was extraordinary--truly--every word through every pen! Thank you for the wonder of you and the wonder brought to the circle!”
