"I have to tell you the veil of wonderment has not diminished since leaving. I cannot imagine another place to create art in the world that would do to me what the sanctuary that you have created did. It will stay with me for a long time. And meeting you was very special indeed. You have a calm, kind quality to you that I love being around. I will indeed return."

"I think all the work you do to promote and forward the creative possibilities for
people is as inspired as it is inspiring.
I have heard story after story about the transformations that take place at your center and under your direction. Both students and teachers have told me of the pure magic of
their experience at Hacienda Mosaico."
"Words cannot adequately express the beauty of the Hacienda Mosaico. When you arrive, you immediately feel at home. When it is time to leave, you don't want to go!"

"I had such an incredible life-changing experience at Hacienda Mosaico. Never before have I dwelt (even temporarily) where every object was a work of art - where I sat on, ate off of, slept under, and gazed upon works of art in every direction! It was so colorful, so inspiring, so reflective of the idea that one's whole life can become an art-making. You so embody this for me - you seemed more like a nurturing friend than a business owner. You took such care of us, anticipating our every need and making everything we did so much fun. I will return to Hacienda Mosaico in a flash if I ever have the chance. It was one of the most wonderful times of my life."

"Reaching out to say Thank You and share thoughts about the week but I'm still just a bit speechless. The week was incredibly profound for me in so many ways and became a
wonderful personal journey.
The hacienda is a magical paradise, as you know, and has an energy that easily attracts and
creates miracles. Look no further than your backyard!
The way that we all came together during that week and the energy we shared I know was supported by the love that oozes throughout Hacienda Mosaico. You've created a magical
paradise and I'm so grateful to have been there....and to have met you."
Sara Bronson
"The fates were very kind to us when they led us to your abode. There are not enough adjectives to describe your paradise. We loved every minute of our respite.... the culinary delights, the stimulating early evening conversations, the fantastic workshops....
they all bombarded our senses..."
