"Rae’s instinctive leadership style draws the best from those around her.   In her beautiful studio, located in a serene, wooded setting, she creates a safe, nurturing environment for personal discovery.   I recently attended a workshop on journal writing, facilitated by Rae, and found many surprising facets to the “routine” practice of journal writing.   Fun, laughter, challenge and practical application all contributed to making this workshop, this day, a memorable experience.   I heartily recommend you do yourself the favor of widening your horizons and nourishing your soul by joining her for a workshop or class soon! "

"I attended one of Rae’s workshops early in 2008 and found it to be a refreshing renewing day.  Rae has a gentle manner, and both skills and passion for journaling. Make sure if you attend a workshop to see the most amazing “spiral” tree near her soon to be forest labyrinth—truly spectacular!"

"Rae Hight is an experienced, intuitive professional with a passion for writing. She has combined her varied talents and knowledge to offer a wonderful workshop that I would highly recommend to those seeking a more creative, holistic exploration of self and one's interaction with one's environment through journal writing. Her studio and park-like grounds offer a peaceful retreat from the busy world, and you will leave there feeling refreshed and nurtured."

“I have completed a 6-week class series and a one-day workshop with Rae Hight. The journaling skills I learned in those courses have been invaluable. I utilize the tools and techniques often, while journaling for personal growth.

Rae is an amazing instructor. She brings humor, insight, and kindness to all she does. Positive energy, while working in a safe environment, provided me with a fulfilling experience, which has carried over into my personal writing.”

“As a person who suffers from depression, I have found that Rae's techniques in journaling have helped me put my life in order. My doctor agrees and even says that he doesn't think I need further therapy. I continue to journal nearly every day and I've found peace.”

“Although an experienced journal writer, I found this class [Journal to the Self] to be very inspiring, creative and informative. Rae created a wonderfully safe and comfortable atmosphere where participants could open up and express their inner feelings and thoughts with ease. And the techniques presented in class opened up many new possibilities for self-exploration. I cannot wait to take another one of her classes."

Fall arrived and the leaves were starting to fall and I was feeling the days grow shorter … I was thinking of how to keep my "Creative Spark" going, I received a flyer about Pathways to The Heart, Mind and Soul. Wow sounds like just what I need to inspire my writing.  Fall is such a time for introspection and writing is a gift to myself to find balance and alignment.  The class came at just the right time for me and I am so glad that flyer made it to my mail box. 

I really enjoyed the techniques that were presented in class. Springboards and Character Sketches … with breathing and gentle meditations to help with listening to the voice inside (so many other techniques too).

I so enjoyed sharing and hearing the other women's stories.  I can learn so much from others!!!

The collage part of class was a big spark to keep creativity flowing … to bring child-within forth, to bring color and a richness to my journals.  Since I have been in classes, I have filled journals with dreams, pictures, stories feelings, space to "BE."

Technique, Art, Meditation and writing ... I enjoy re-discovering who I am and the writing with intention is a great way to open doors for myself!!!!

I am so grateful for Rae and her vision with her classes.  I am awakening to quality time, ability to play and a deep Peace that has come from my continued writing. 

Explore places within that may be buried, and a treasure chest may be what you find.  Full of un-expected surprises about self and about the many others we share our space in this world with.
