Absolutely inspirational! Your presentation at our Region 10 Visual and Performing Arts Forum, was so well received by our participants and provided the much needed connection to brain research and how the arts are truly our first language for understanding and making meaning in the world. Your contagious enthusiasm for the arts and the research you present supported all of us in our commitment to provide quality arts education for all students in California. It was evident from conversations and our evaluations that your presentation was greatly appreciated by everyone.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
