Canyon Ranch Guest Art, Before & After

Elizabeth has been a regular teacher and speaker at nationally renowned venues like Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Massachusetts, the Golden Door Spa in San Marcos, California, the Ojai Valley Spa and Resort and the Chief Digital Officers Summit in New York City. She is an emerging art therapist with a Jungian approach who focuses on the power of symbols and dreamwork.

Her unique recipe of practices integrates nature and mindfulness as primary elements in the creation, destruction and re-creation of a finished piece of art that far surpasses the ordinary in quality, technique and content. Participants step forward with a visual reminder of their sacred journey, in awe of their inner gifts and tools for transforming life challenges into life successes.

Elizabeth’s best-selling writing career and field work in compassion has given her the privilege of working with some of the world’s greatest luminaries and thought leaders, including renowned human behaviorist, Dr. John Demartini, Dr. Rick Hanson (bestselling author, “Buddha’s Brain”), and Temple Grandin, among many others.

“I WAS “SEARCHING” FOR HEALING BECAUSE OF MAJOR LIFE CHALLENGES AND EVENTS.

Creative Awakenings taught and helped me more in the four days spent with Elizabeth than in the countless hours and years of therapy I spent in pursuit of a happier and more authentic life. This amazing growth and metamorphic process did not stop once I left this magical experience. The beauty and uniqueness of this program are an ongoing gift as I continue to develop into the new “me.”
