On not being an artist

I don’t consider myself necessarily to be an artist, at least in the conventional ways. And this experience really helped me to rediscover. She was in there. I didn’t realize that the artist was in there. And what is so powerful about this is that we were making art not just with our hands, but with our hearts and in community.

On what it changed

Something tells me that what we have here, what you have created and fostered, this is how we grow the light. Maybe our art, through this light, maybe this is how we create peace. I’m in a very emotional space, so forgive me, but really, this is extraordinary. It’s definitely a life change, that I hope to keep unpacking for all of my days.

On what she was given

Rakefet, you are so kind and generous. It’s just amazing how much information and support you shared with us. I’m so thankful for this generosity. And I feel it’s like a seed that has so much in it, and it’s ready to explode for how much I got from this.

Jamie Leat

On showing up as you are

I’ve really appreciated the space that you create, Rakefet. It really is a special space, in that you can just bring yourself, the good, the bad, the ugly, and just show up and do the work. And the interesting thing is, I was blessed every time I was able to show up and take that with me.

Claudia

On the method itself

Rakefet, you have created something amazing. Your method, your generosity, your ideas, the gift that you have brought to all of us is so meaningful. For me personally, but also for everybody who comes into contact with this.

Melissa Dilworth

On not making every live session

I was watching the videos and participated live sometimes, and that was still so fabulous. I felt really connected, just like everyone else who was attending live.

Christina

Therapist, Seattle

I actually took this course for myself, because usually I take courses to bring that for clients. As a therapist, I have been going through a bit of burnout. My first goal was to do this for myself, and to reconnect with expressive arts. And the process has just been a refuge, actually.

On not being a visual artist

In expressive arts, I felt the vision part was the one that was blocking me, that I didn’t know how I could present, because I was not really a visual artist. But this gave me so much, the method and the richness. And I am so depth psychology, and it has got all in there. So to me, it just has enriched my life.

Petra Fonteyn

On where it travels

I feel that what you are doing, it is almost like you are creating little Rakefets all over the world, spreading this incredible light and connection, giving people that opportunity to really understand themselves better and just make sense of things.

Deandra

Portland, Oregon

I decided I wanted to try the training, even though I had no intention of teaching. I told her from the beginning, I just want to go deeper in my own work. Now, of course, I’ve had to take back my words a little bit, because I have started teaching and have found such a different level of learning from sharing this.

Dorothy McIntosh

Registered art therapist

Working with the SoulPages method has been absolutely life-changing for me. I have really been able to dig deep inside myself and find that inner child, and some of those places that were hard to get to before. I’m much more able to be authentic in my art journaling pages, and I’ve really learned how to work even more intuitively than I did before.

Catherine

On what six months do

So not only do you have this incredible new level of skill that you can use, and you can start at any level because the lessons are so meticulously designed. But in the end, you’re transformed. And not only are you transformed, you have this new community of friends who speak the same language as you.

Cyndi

On being on the fence

If you’re on the fence about this, I say just jump in and go for it. You’re not going to sit here and share problems, you’re doing this art. And I sat here sometimes doing art and all of a sudden I noticed I had tears coming from my eyes, and I thought, why am I crying? I had no idea why. But it just touches you in so many amazing ways.

Selina

Art therapist, Texas

SoulPages is the kind of art journaling that made me want to be an art therapist. It is the kind of healing that I connected with first, that I needed, and that I want to be able to share in the world.

Gena Lumbroso

Took the training twice

What I liked most about it was magic. It’s absolutely magic, and it’s fun, and those two things are the biggest elements for me. Everything in my life has to either have magic or fun, and until I found this class, I never knew magic could be so palpable.
