I TOTALLY DISAGREE with the review above. Glad I didn't read it until now. There is another point of view! My muse LOVES this book. I enjoy facilitating art days for women and children and this book gave me a whole new way to go about it. I've worked with mandalas and soul collage and I've written about the work before, but I love this "conversing" with the piece and the "no comment" rule. I can't wait to try it in community. And my Muse seems to appreciate this book...I am in the process of being bombarded with images to work on. It's opened my mind, my heart, and my spirit. Thank you Pat Allen!

I expected a Spiritual Journey shared with the reader. This was like a thesis that had nothing what so ever to do with spirituality. It was boring, verbose and just plain dull. It seemed as though the cover had been put on the wrong book. I junked it, something I never do with a book. Dissappointment is an understatement for my experience.

I agree with the reviewer who said this book is like a thesis. It was a surprise to me because the publisher is one that puts to print very dynamic contents by the likes of Ken Wilbur and Pema Chodron. After awhile I found myself rushing through this one so that I could move on to something that might recharge both mind and spirit. It did not convince me that art is a spiritual path. Perhaps this was a sales pitch for what is called an open studio art therapy technique? I could not decide. The author is a decent writer and just needs to be more focused on what her book title is proposing.
