“I had a fabulous time. It was a window into a different world, and I intend to keep it open…” Jane, course participant Skomer 2024
“These island days have been an otherworld, liberating experience. Thank you for removing the critic (inner and outer) from what we have been doing. The colour and gesture work were wonderful and so freeing, you made us really see and feel the island and its colours, weather, wildlife.” Harriet, course participant Skomer 2024
