"The Threshold Workshop was a wonderful experience.  The combination of writing, painting, drawing, and simply creating was a very absorbing process.  The day just flew by!  Jim has a gift for facilitation and for bringing out the best in all who attend.  I can't wait to do this again!"
                        Kim Adam, Interior Designer, San Anselmo, CA

“I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.  It was wonderful spending five hours exploring, writing, painting, tearing paper, and laughing with kindred spirits.  I know I'll be better for it in my art and in my life. … At some point in the process I felt so psyched up with that YES place in me that knows what I love. … I would love to have more and more of those experiences.”

“I had never thought of myself as an artist before, but clearly I am.  When I began removing the parts of me that weren’t genuinely me, I began to see myself differently, more authentically.”

“My husband and friends were impressed with my efforts, as was I.  I feel as though I have definitely moved up a notch in rediscovering my inner artist and trying to get her out of her closet once and for all.”
