"I was SO excited when Cynthia Hauk’s Mindful Art and Yoga Teacher Training went live! I have long felt a strong affinity for the mindful application of art and yoga, and Cynthia’s training did not disappoint. The course training was laid out in a thoughtfully progressive manner and the beautiful module workbooks continue to be resources I return to again and again. Cynthia’s approach is affirming and compassionate, and the coaching calls really allowed for meaningful personal connection and benefit from her authentic guidance and support." - Rynn Burkett, TX, USA

“Cynthia is super knowledgeable about mindfulness, mindful art, yoga, somatics, meditation, ecotherapy and so many other healing modalities. I've learned so much from her and, more importantly, I appreciate her kindness, support, patience, and ability to hold space for her students/ community. I feel so much more comfortable facilitating group workshops and helping others appreciate the healing benefits of mindful art. This is a supportive, collaborative, non-judgmental space for learning, creating and finding your voice. Through this training, you will learn the principles of mindful art, facilitating trauma-informed group sessions, managing group dynamics, and creating a safe space for students to experiment and explore. Last but certainly not least, you will hone YOUR creative practice, through kindness, accountability and inspiration. My biggest "aha" moment was discovering that creating -- and sticking to -- S.M.A.R.T. goals when it comes to planning workshops is the key for me. I have the tendency to become overwhelmed by creative projects, and the "slow and steady, little by little" approach that Cynthia models was a game-changer.” - Madeleine Adamson, Toronto, Canada

“I appreciated Cynthia's expertise, openness, and heart-centered facilitation. I've been facilitating group sessions for years, but each session has always focused on a specific practice (e.g. mindfulness, meditation, creative self-expression). In the teacher training, Cynthia provides a process for holding integrated circles, which, for me, feels like the key to unlocking previously unopened doors. I initially signed up for teacher training but later decided to also join the Mindful Creatives and it became a true community. For me, things truly clicked when I realised that it's not only about teaching what you know, it's also healthy to have a mentor who's been where you are. Joining the Mindful Creatives has been so beneficial for me. I've met people from across the globe that I've learned and bounced off of, and those people have become my friends.” - Dana M., Scotland, UK

“What I appreciated most about the teacher training was the calm and deliberate approach Cynthia presented in her video lessons. She was clear and precise in her manner and the written lessons were also clearly presented. I also appreciated her knowledge and experience with the topics. The biggest 'aha' moment was during the meditative visual art creations. I found such comfort in doing some of the activities and the release I felt afterwards.” - Linda Kallas, CA, USA

“Cynthia is so thoughtful about everything that she does. Her interaction with the students during zoom sessions has inspired ME in my own interaction with others when conducting classes on-line. She makes the on-line experience feel so personal...I really felt like I got to know Cynthia as a teacher and the other students as my peers. Lovely experience! The work process is a perfect blend of self-paced independent work and regular on-line sessions that incorporate Q&A, hands-on and guest speakers. The on-line sessions surprised me most because they were so very interactive. The introspective aspect of the mindful art was my "aha" moment. As a working artist and art teacher, it has guided me to introduce my own students to a more meaningful process with their work, and has helped me as an artist to be more regular in my creative practice.” - Libby Lynch, TN, USA

“I enjoyed this teacher training more than I even anticipated. I appreciated that it used a self-study pace, so I was able to do the modules at a pace that fit what was already happening in my life. Cynthia has a very open and engaging presence and that definitely came through in the videos, as well as the written aspects of the training. This training uses a format which encourages you to work through the exercises on your own: awakening your own creativity and self-reflection. Then, you take the modalities and exercises that speak to you and create workshops so that you can share these creative spaces with others. There is a very clear and complete workshop format to use as you are able to develop your own offerings. In addition, there is a reasonable amount of theory which also helps to give a good basis for the practices. My biggest take away from this training was the value that a more consistent use of mindful art and yoga practices brought to my life. Instead of creative moments being add-ons "when-I-could-find-the-time," these moments have become integral to my self-reflection and mindful practices and I have found a lot of richness and depth that I struggled to access before.” - Trish Webb, Haarlem, Netherlands

"Cynthia is lovely to work with, responsive and insightful. Her experience is especially helpful for those trying to balance their own creative practice with teaching and running a creative business. I can't wait to put all that I've learned to use helping my students discover the world of mindful art and yoga." - Christa Hogan, Northeast, USA
