“As a survivor, and as a mental health provider, it interests me to see more real supports, in different venues for survivors.”

“I was so moved by the Memory Palace project and I was inspired by the depth of experience that everyone expressed. This event was the culmination of a project that can only be described as a labor of love. The care I felt in the room was palpable.”

“I feel so fulfilled to see a program that truly shows the fruits of their intentional work. And I’m so happy that there is a space like this created. Thank you for being brave enough to share this space as survivors yourself too. Keep going, this is so necessary.”

“I really appreciate the strength of everyone involved and their courage to move forward, heal, and help others. It was all so powerful and inspiring to see. What survivors overcome is something so great, so grueling, so grotesque, so transformative, I feel more strength within myself just being in their presence. I, like many women, have experienced sexual harassment and assault. This was a center of strength, power, resilience, and commitment. I see it as an anchor for women, other survivors, and anyone affected by sexual and gender based violence.”

“I have experienced both cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy and found that the Memory Palace experience was much more helpful than the latter, although I was participating as the artist. This program is a life changing learning lesson not only about how to care for others, but for yourself. Reminding us to move through the world without ever dimming our light.”

“This program has changed my life. I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for my life during the breathwork and I feel I will carry that with me as years go by. It also gave me a new way of thinking about my artistic practice. This is a transformative experience that nourishes the soul. An opportunity to being creative.”

“I’d describe this program as a powerful blend of creativity, self-reflection, and community healing. It offers a unique space to explore deep emotions, process personal experiences, and break through creative blocks, all while connecting with others in a supportive environment. It’s transformative and can open up new possibilities in both your art and personal growth.”

“This experience and my participant’s story that has been shared with me helped me to realize that trauma does not need to be analyzed or remembered in order to be let go. A healing journey does not always begin with perfect understanding of the hurt. It begins with a mighty act of love for the self.”
