I was blessed with the decision to set out on this shared two-day journey. It was wonderful, enriching, in the art itself but so much beyond it too. I recommend it so warmly. Maya, thank you!

It's almost the end of the season, but I'm still writing this for anyone coming back: run to this workshop of Maya's! One of the most powerful workshops I've experienced, I'm still glowing. It's an amazing journey that lasts 3 days, moving through stations, images and memories from our lives, which turn into beautiful cards with inspiring lines, insights and messages that come out of our inner world. This isn't just another workshop, it's a healing process, one that touches both joy and pain. For anyone who doesn't know her, Maya is an artist and art therapist, and she is pure magic and depth. She weaves into the workshop tools of guided imagery and meditation along with artistic and therapeutic techniques, to distill what already exists within us and wants to come out. Did I already say I recommend it? You don't need to know how to draw or write, just come with an open heart.

Words from the heart

People who wrote to me about what happened for them in a session. In their own words.

I was blessed with the decision to set out on this shared two-day journey. It was wonderful, enriching, in the art itself but so much beyond it too. I recommend it so warmly. Maya, thank you!

Before you begin

Common questions

Does art therapy work online?

Yes. We meet on video, with simple materials you already have at home: paper, pencils, sometimes clay. The same quiet attention and the same safe space, in English or Hebrew, from wherever you are.

Do I need to know how to draw?

No. You never need to know how to draw, only to express. The material does most of the work.

What does a first session look like?

It starts with a short WhatsApp conversation, no commitment. In the session itself we get to know each other, try something small with the materials, and feel together whether it fits.

What does it cost?

Pricing is set in conversation, by session or workshop type. Message me on WhatsApp and I'll gladly share the details.

Where do the workshops in Goa happen?

Workshops happen in Goa, India, during the season I'm there. The exact location is shared when you join.

How do we host a workshop where we are?

Gather a group, pick a date and book in advance, and I come to you, in Israel or anywhere in the world. Write to me and we'll shape it together.
