“There is a very real parallel to the kind of work that we do in Courage & Renewal and to a vital approach in arts education. In Courage & Renewal programs and retreats we carefully create the safe conditions for renewal of the soul. Through poetry and metaphor the hidden part of us is more inclined to step forward and “tell it slant” as Emily Dickinson would say, to approach inner matters of great import more obliquely than head-on. In the same way the processes of art, working with images, movement and sound may provide different avenues for the truth to make its way into sunlight.” -Eric Baylin
