Kindness Tree Art and Healing Center

As the workshop coordinator for Cowichan South Arts Guild, I felt fortunate to have someone as accomplished as Donna to lead one of our Sampler Series workshops, 'Creating a Personal Taliswoman'. Donna was very well organized and prepared greeting all the participants as they arrived. She started the session by leading the group through several 'excercises' to loosen us all up and build community (and get us all smiling and laughing). She provided many different materials to inspire creativity and for the participants to choose from to design their own unique Taliswoman and we all left feeling happy, contented and inspired. CSAG is looking forward to booking Donna for more workshops in the future!!

I am an introvert and find it very easy to avoid groups and parties…
But I am so glad that I ventured out of a comfortable rut to attend more than one of Donna’s Kindness tree Art and Healing Centre workshops.

Donna brings together individuals and as she takes us through her workshop vision through her use of art, music, drumming, dancing, eating and creating safe space for sharing precious snippets of ourselves; all while together we physically create art. Magic happens. Dull sharpens and creativity blossoms. Donna’s mediums are music, paint, affirmation and acceptance. Wisdom is found in these groups. I always leave more fully alive and filled up like I just had a wonderful meal.

In a warm, and friendly atmosphere, Donna provides the gentle skills to go beyond one’s self- imposed limitations, thus enhancing the ability for one to create (sometimes surprisingly) beautiful works of art. Thank you for your kind wisdom Donna💚

At Kindness Tree Art, Donna’s energy absolutely shines inviting you to go deeply to go within and beyond anything you believed you could create!! ✨💞So much laughter, fun, movement, color, and spirit. I look forward to participating for many years to come. Thank you Donna, for providing such an amazing venue for all of us to flourish!

I had an amazing experience at an Empowerment Workshop with 9 other women. Not only did I get to enjoy the company of beautiful souls, I learnt how to express myself through a different art form while we shared some tender personal thoughts with each other. Lots of laughter and the dancing was fun. Donna has created a warm environment that feels like coming home 💕
