| Tracy Fulton | 4/18/2008 6:41:02 PM |  | After my first Wild Heart painting retreat at Chris’s magical and funky studio in Oakland, I returned home in a state of exhaustion and amazement. For the first time since then, I just unfurled the paintings I made during that weekend, and am once again stunned at what the intuitive painting process elicited from me. In the inspiring company of several other Wild Heart painters (some new to the journey like me, some seasoned veterans), guided with sensitivity, compassion, and respect by Chris, I was able to slip out of that seemingly relentless verbal and analytical state of consciousness and into the shadowland of the subconscious, where images and symbols flowed from paint to paintbrush to paper. There is something tremendously liberating about being able to spend two and a half days painting and attending to one’s own emotional and creative needs minus the usual and multiple distractions of daily living. Chris makes it so easy to do just that. I can’t wait to come back.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist | | Kristine Maas | 4/18/2008 4:38:07 PM | | My experience in Chris Zydel's weekend workshop was beyond delicious! As a professional writer, I'm very familiar with the creative process, but by partnering with Chris under her mindful guidance, I opened to my creativity in ways I've never experienced, and didn't know possible. Her availability to each painter is respectful and mindful. She's intuitively aware of each painter's individual approach and needs--she met me exactly where I was and encouraged me to stretch myself. I did so because it was safe. What a gift the whole experience was. And I can't believe how much fun I had! I can't wait for the next opportunity to paint with her. Five words: Love it, highly recommend it!

She creates an atmosphere that is profound, challenging, and fun. Give yourself the gift of stretching through art. You needn't have picked up a brush in your life to benefit from her workshops."

Chris creates a safe, nurturing and loving environment that overflows with unconditional acceptance and trust. In painting as well as processing, the participants are encouraged to hold nothing back and all that pours forth from us is witnessed and held as the sacred offering that it is. The painting process has a mysterious way of bypassing the mind, the censors, the ego, the defenses, and what comes through is astonishing in its purity and wisdom. I have experienced an enormous amount of healing and growth in the two years that I have been painting and processing with Chris. She is a modern-day shaman and a great gift to those of us on the path toward healing and wholeness and yearning to live in the fullness of our creativity."
