There is a paradoxical energy that emanates from Pattie — energized and yet very still.
To be in her presence is an invitation to also be deeply present with yourself. ~ Tom F

Pattie has taken every detail into consideration when it comes to creating a safe haven of comfort and tranquility. Long walks, quiet respites, rejuvenating naps, nourishing food, beautiful accommodations were all ingredients of a wonderful stay with Pattie at the Hummingbird Cottage on Vashon Island. Breakfast was amazing...the best scrambled eggs I have ever had. A morning of art making was also part of my retreat. I painted and glued and laughed and played. I felt like a kid in a candy store, free to create anything my heart desired. ~ Barbara K
Pattie is an old soul who retains the joy of youth. She has this intuitive way of being and caring deeply. You feel held gently in her presence, allowing you the safety to look at yourself and grow. ~ Dan L
I loved so many things about Pattie's class. She offered us a great deal of varied and intriguing information that was fun and inspiring. I now have a different and greater appreciation for the forest and look at it through brighter, more detailed eyes, noticing so much more of the beauty, the smells, the air, the place. What a gift! ~ Jamie
In today's world there seems little time to contemplate and create, but we need it now more than ever!
The artist's way class with Pattie [with] other kindred spirits has helped me reclaim my basic human need for creation and expression. Pattie skillfully guided us week by week using the tools from the book and her own unique exercises. The increased freedom and encouragement that we all shared helped each of us identify our blocks and to gently begin overcoming each one. Our time together was spent in honest fellowship and acceptance. I highly recommend Pattie’s class to reclaim and jump-start your artist within. ~ Cynthia

I experienced three days of personal Bliss at the Hummingbird Cottage with Pattie as my change agent.
There was no agenda — only the idea of expanding my toolbox and allowing a more passionate, creative part of myself to be discovered. I left feeling stronger, healthier and less encumbered with old thoughts and patterns. Waves of change happened in this magical place with Pattie's mentoring and guidance. So many gratitudes. ~ Stephanie
