Testimonials
Incredible Results
Jan’s subtle and skilful management of the group dynamic brought about a fun, supportive and highly creative working environment, which produced some incredible writing results.
Life Changing

Meditative Process
Jan showed us the ease with which it is possible to access from within and bring to the surface an abundance of material using the meditative process.
