Upon arriving in Bruges, I found myself wondering why I flew half way across the world to take a workshop with a bunch of strangers! Well, due to our fabulous instructors, within the first fifteen minutes of the first day of class, there wasn't a stranger in sight, only friends! JoAnne Southard, Accountant, JMS Consulting, Los Angeles, CA

I unreservedly recommend this course! Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel taught their Creativity Workshop as American Cultural Specialists under the United States Information Service. To say that they were extremely effective is a vast understatement. They have abundant creativity, energy, and a wealth of skills.
Gloria Berbena, Assistant Cultural Attache, US Information Service, US Embassy, Rome, Italy

The workshop was one of the best experiences I have ever had. It took me out of my "safe zone" and exposed me to so much more. Amazing people and talents. I loved being in NYC and surrounded by such a unique group. I have signed up for the November class already.
Melinda Sih, Stay-at-Home-Mom, Kansas City, KS

I was delighted by the course and didn't want it to end. Beforehand, I wasn't sure what to expect and was pretty nervous. The emphasis on relaxation, fun and imagination was excellent. This experience has helped me to continue on my personal journey in a more integrated and soulful way. What a lot to get from five days!
Jo Sumner, Consultant, Ethics Policy and Organizational Development, London, UK

I liken Shelley and Alejandro to Pied Pipers, leading workshop participants along a path of creativity that opens both inner and outer worlds to an extreme new awareness. Shelley and Alejandro are trustworthy guides on the varied paths being traveled by the workshop participants. The workshop will charm you, challenge you, and refresh the very way you approach your work and daily living.
Diana Matteson, Art Therapist, Mechanicsburg, PA

In the Creativity Workshop, I found a place to dream, to question, to understand. I strongly believe that we should fearlessly guard such spaces and ensure that they remain a part of this university. The Creativity Workshop and Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel’s teaching are invaluable assets to the University of Iowa.
Evan Mazunik, Student, University of Iowa

I got so much encouragement to keep writing my own stuff and such a warm and supportive response from participants as well as from the leaders, especially Shelley. And I enjoyed working on the many exercises and projects alone and with others.
Rodman Neuman, Editor, New York, NY

There were so many kindred spirits with such wonderful diversity. The Workshop was the right environment for us to share our insights and experiences. In each session we were encouraged to open ourselves to new imaginative possibilities. Something dormant within me came back to life as I rediscovered my own creative spirit. Barriers seemed to melt and my horizons in creative expression have begun to expand.
Mitchell Dowalgo, Pastor, Las Cruces, NM

My best friend and I met in NYC to participate in the Creativity Workshop. I traveled from Germany, she from Virginia. We explored the corners of our minds where creativity had been pushed aside by busy work and family demands. I have written more since attending Creativity Workshop than I had in the decade prior!
Kim Oshirak, MD, Germany

Thank you so much for helping me to clarify and name so many things about myself that I might never have discovered had I not been prompted by your workshop! The most important thing I learned is that I don't need a huge block of time to make art!
Janette Danielson, Interior Designer, Beaufort, South Carolina

This Workshop proved to be more impacting and practical than I could have imagined. Since returning home I've used its ideas and methods in my own writing and in behalf of others in my practice. When I recall the time with our instructors, I think of the warmth and acceptance they extended to each of us. They created a positive atmosphere that enhanced creativity and our connection with one another.
Denise Mullen, Psychologist, Irvine, CA

The workshop experience was terrific for me. Each day was stimulating, thought-provoking, I've been humming with a different energy during and since the Workshop. It came at a good time for me personally and I enjoyed both Shelley and Alejandro's presence and guidance.
Diane Weiner, Psychologist, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI

The Workshop awakened the creativity bug within me. I would do this again and again. The new people that I met and the new friendships that I have formed will last me till the end of my lifetime. I am so grateful to you.
Ms.Tanya M. Keels, Admissions Records Specialist, Brevard Community College, Melbourne, Australia

The teachers understand something that many people only have vague ideas about -- how to encourage creativity.
Jerry Abejo, Student, University of Iowa

If it wasn't for this class I fear I never would have finished my master's thesis. I was blocked until I took the Workshop. The class breaks down all your fears about thinking and writing.
Francesca Salidu, Ph.D. candidate in Shakespeare, University of Pisa, Italy
