Pasha Hogan, Testimonials

YOGA RETREATS
"Pasha’s welcoming and inviting style makes the yoga retreat experience enjoyable and safe. She challenges you yet welcomes you to the challenges and provides a warm and sensitive “space” for you in your yoga practice, wherever you are in your yoga journey. The different focuses throughout the different times of day open up even more ways to enhance and experience your practice -- energetic type yoga, restorative, the physical and spiritual and emotional aspects of the experience were all-encompassing. The setting is special and tranquil and lends so much to the entire experience. Pasha helped to set up “compassionate witnesses” among our fellow retreat participants, which created even more safet. I felt supported but not intruded upon. This was one of the most wonderful yoga experiences in my life and I look forward to more with Pasha"

TESTIMONIALS:

"As a cancer survivor and choreographer, CREATIVE RECOVERY gave me a freedom to release emotions and energy in a protected space with the only people who could fully understand. I was able to find tools with Pasha that helped me bridge my artistic world with my experiences with cancer. Ultimately, it seeded all of the creative work I am now doing professionally, while providing me an emotional safe haven to sense as a resource. I consider Pasha to be a heroine to humanity."
- Rulan Tangen

“I have done numerous groups at the Carl Jung Center in Houston, Esalen Institute etc., in creative arts therapies and have taught this kind of creative expression group at a women’s rehab facility.

Pasha is outstanding! She covered all the bases of safety issues and much more. Thanks to the Cancer Institute of New Mexico for offering this program. Important work was done by all who participated!”
- Linda Larkin, M.MW

“ Pasha is one in a million. I have had cancer three times and was a licensed mental health counselor for twenty-five years. Pasha’s presence and respect allow a sense of safety within our greatest terrors. Helplessness and hopelessness transform as we create spontaneously. This program is an enormous addition and benefit to this wonderful healing place.”
- Maryann Williams

“I continuously use terms we used during the class for myself and others. ‘Self care’, ‘setting up boundaries’, these terms have validated that it is okay to take care of myself without feeling selfish. I have also decided to write and illustrate a book for children and adults about cancer using lots of beautiful colors! Thanks to your class you have opened a door for me that was closed before.”
- Marlene Johnson

“I can’t recommend the Creative Recovery program highly enough. Pasha created a great environment for cancer survivors at ANY stage of their recovery. It was not only cathartic but provided tools and offers/supports actual healing, internally, in a powerful and gentle way. Thank-you very much!”
