On a sunny afternoon in the gorgeous Ted Berryman Gallery, Santa Ysabel, surrounded by Berryman's sculptures I sat down with the master sculptor and multi talented Vika Golovanova owner of Julian Wellness Center to learn about their new collaboration, 'Toward Writing Honestly, classes,' which combined their epic talents to create a unique creative writing program focusing on core inner honesty seeking, mind body awareness, with a twist of self realization. What an inspiring duo, passion driven, empathetic arms outstretched with love, excited to share their discoveries and knowledge. Talent for them is the ability to let ideas manifest themselves through you. Beware of the assumption that the way you work is the best way simply because it is the way you've done it before.

Vika, has a doctorate degree in Chinese energetic medicine, knowledgeable also in the healing arts, bio energetic wellness and visual arts. Vika shares with Ted the belief that, "each person is able to speak with a voice that no other person is capable of. That within us is a tremendous potential."

Vika will open the session leading participants through a series of energetic practices aimed at releasing tension. "You will find yourself in a place where you feel accord all the way through-your purpose your creativity alive at your fingertips. They give importance to having a love affair with ourselves. With our very own personal meaning in life, our subtle truth and the listening skills so we can actually hear it.

Ted explains, "once you've heard enough you'll understand that nobody else's truth is exactly like yours. Your truths are yours, condensed, powerful and wise. Passionately, gentle, accepting yourself, and without judging your fiction negatively, your attention will simple turn to enjoy your truths."

No matter what tools you use to create the true instrument is you.

This course of eight weekly sessions could well be a life changing experience as these two very unique talented, creative visionaries combine to open new conversations and idea's about approaches to finding what they consider approaches to ultimate inner honesty.

The more we develop, expand and sharpen our skills the more fluent we become. We can experience greater freedom and less sameness in the act of making. Vastly improving our ability to manifest the best version of our idea.
