Nezam Ardalan
Meditation and Wellness Meditation, Insight, Awareness, Curiosity, Self-Exploration I use meditation as a tool to help people explore their lives, from day to day issues to life-long questions. It not only cultivates an ability to see and understand what is happening in life, but it also offers a tool to work through these experiences. I have been practicing on and off for the last 15 years, with a constant and daily practice for the last five and have studied with a number of teachers and traditions including, buddhism, hinduism, shamanism and mindfulness. |

Jamie Adges
MA Drama Therapy, LCAT Limited Permit Arts Therapist, United Kingdom Confidence Building, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, End of Life, Grief My approach to therapy is centered on the belief that creativity is more than just a mindset, but a tool that can be used to discover self-expression, bring to light unconscious thoughts and feelings, and deepen our understanding of ourselves to effect change in our everyday lives. My background is in both theater and psychology, and through my own personal journey, as well as witnessing the experience of others, I have realized the healing effects of theater and the creative process. |
