Testimonial
I leared a lots of new techinique
“I loved this workshop so much, Yao is a super gifted teacher and catered to all the different needs in the class.

I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to get in touch with the deeper wisdoms that lie within.”

Happy to connect with my dragon
“Yao is an amazing guide to how to draw the Dragon.
I enjoyed this workshop and I am so happy to see my dragon”
Hitomi
I felt my connection with Dragon
“We did a dragon connection meditation and painted our own dragons. Everyone’s dragon was different, and all the dragon paintings were beautiful. The process of painting was not only fun but also healing, making it an amazing experience. I met my dragon during the meditation—it looked like “Haku” from Spirited Away, so I decided to use Haku as a reference for my painting. I also learned a lot from this workshop, including how to create egg tempera paintings.”
Yoko

Thank you Yao for your teaching. I enjoyed so much.”
Marija
I was naturally inclined to drop in
“Yao really listens to nature’s stories and her inner guidance, and interprets them with lucid, visual detail. Her art class is a precious extension of her gift. I found it to be a space where I was naturally inclined to drop in, let go, and be free to experience the ripples of these stories, and visually interpret my inner guidance. She’s a wonderful facilitator and her insightful approach shows respect to each individual’s creative process.”
Zaynab

I was Allowed to express what ever in my mind

I let go of fear of judgement. It was great way to connecting to my own self. It was self talk through own vision. Be in the present with brush and canvas. Yao’s class held safe space for me to flow with my onw flow of expression and connecting with my feeling. grad to join the class to have this experience in my life.”
Misa
It was really fun process to create story

It was little difficult to start with but her teaching and guide i found flow with in my imagination and be able to paint what i wanted to paint. I felt joy in my heart while I was painting in the class. “
