What People Are Saying

Gerlinde has a gift of teaching that is gentle and non-intimidating and reaches both new and experienced students at the same time. My personal shift was looking at myself and my reactions to situations and people much deeper.  I am used to running and getting things “done” in a rush and rarely do I take a moment to truly reflect and sit with myself.  The class helped me realize I need to consciously step away from my regular thoughts of family and work.  I originally thought you had to be “artistic”, but this is for the beginner all the way to the most experienced.  I was a beginner and found every aspect a totally new learning experience.

I absolutely love your classes…you are gentle, kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, intuitive! The cadence and sound of your voice is engaging and calming at the same time. You draw me in and invite me to open my heart and mind and thus reconnect to deeper parts of myself.

My very first collage experience was magical as it revealed some deep soul wisdom.  As I have continued this SoulCollageR journey of art, creativity and personal growth.  I have been gifted finding one of the most natural, intuitive, perceptive instructors in Gerlinde.  The deep soul collages I have experienced creating under her guideship has been rich with self-expression, self-acceptance, and enhancement of my spiritual growth

Taking both “Dancing with the Winter Muse” and “The Gardener & Her Earthly Companions” was a wonderful experience.  In these classes, collage art moved part simply being an art form. Through collaging I was able to use images to express thought and feelings too diverse and complex to put into words.  This experience has introduced me to a whole new world of self-awareness through artistic expression. Gerlinde guides the creative process with thought provoking readings and prompts while establishing a safe space to work and explore one’s inner self. Her classes flow seamlessly, and she is readily available to answer questions, clarify instructions, provide materials and additional guidance if needed. If you love the idea of combining nature, art, and self-expression her classes are for you.
