Testimonial

I loved how Calista's soundtrack, facilitation and voice guided all of us on the dance floor to connect with our ancestors. We followed the spiral of the dance and our hearts deeper and deeper where we discovered how our experiences are stored deep in our memories and DNA. Through movement and surrender, we learnt how to connect with ourselves and transmit the energies through our bodies and voices.

Over the past three years, I’ve walked through many seasons of change. My Expressive Arts Therapy sessions with Calista have been a sanctuary — a space where I could slow down, listen within, and rediscover my own light. As someone drawn to Jungian Psychology, I’ve found her work deeply meaningful. Through art, movement, and reflection, she gently guides you into the symbolic language of the unconscious, where hidden parts of yourself begin to speak and heal. Each session unfolds with warmth, compassion, and a quiet depth that stays with you long after you leave. Through this journey, I’ve gained clarity, humility, and courage — and a renewed sense of connection to life itself. I wholeheartedly recommend Calista to anyone seeking not just therapy, but a creative and soulful path toward self-understanding and transformation.

I joined this retreat with Cali and Prim as a Professional Development experience. These words spoke to me: "An Expressive Arts Spirituality Retreat - Calling all who are looking for a playful, spontaneous, creative & immersive wellness retreat to discover & connect with your inner Self. Powered by Jungian Psychology (we are 2 licensed & registered Jungian Expressive Arts Therapists), we will work with myths, fairy tales, folklore, dreams, symbols & more. Journey deep into the depths of your psyche & restore intimacy with your divine self.
This is a unique combination of spirituality, psychology & art. We will explore the depths of our psyches through different drama games, theater techniques, dance, movement, poetry, spoken word, narratives, stories etc." I trained in Expressive Art Teaching during the 80s and have spent many years in HK as an Art, Dance and Drama teacher in both primary and Secondary, but I now work primarily in Art Therapy and have lost a vital connection to the wonderful playful story telling nature of dance and drama work, so I very much wanted to tap right back into that ! I havn't danced for a long time and felt so called to come and reconnect. I loved the movement work, imaginative games, the stories, poetry and more. It really was a homecoming and I spent lots of time immersed in the sea of ME!! and smiling on the inside xx You and Prim created a beautiful safe container for us all and I loved getting to know the others though the work together, meal times and chats.
I also had some spiritual reconnections with the gifts of dance and music that I received from both my parents in their own ways, and really felt deep gratitude for the generations who stand behind me and enable me to be who I am in life. I think that the immersive nature of it all worked well for me too, we worked intensely each day and we really were all in our own space / time bubble, and then sleeping and rising early which is my normal time clock, so loved that and then having my little hobbit house in which to sleep and reflect. Its a gift to leave ego and personas somewhere else to just come and be......thank you both so very very much

If words were adequate to describe the experience that we all had at Calista and Prim's retreat, then we've probably missed the point. It was described as a Jungian expressive arts retreat, which was accurate if a bit reductionist – it was a playground for us all to discover who we were, are and will be, using formats that we oft deem childish or inappropriate for grown-ups. Through stories and song, movement and mandalas, poetry and play, we were given permission to be anything, do anything and feel anything. And through this unwritten permission, we began to see ourselves to the very core. The retreat was so deftly executed that we were never aware we were working with the shadow or the subconscious – we just felt fun and free. And yet I see in retrospect how Cali and Prim created an artful narrative that was profound in its deceptive simplicity. Its effects – as the group agrees unanimously – will be felt most in the coming weeks and months, as we integrate what felt like play, but we know was also deeply healing, moving and connective. We saw each other as children – as our most vulnerable selves – and we learned to love each other for that. And perhaps, through that, we learned to love it in ourselves, too. Initially, I wasn't sure who the target audience for this retreat was. I see now clearly – it is for me, for you, and for anyone who yearns to be free.

It was my first time attending a retreat, and my first experience with expressive arts. I loved everything about it, and I felt safe with Cali and Prim, and also all the participants. This safety allowed me to reach much deeper than I thought I would be able to. It was a beautiful retreat. The space was so gently but confidently held that it allowed the deepest parts of me to unfold. I love the balance of Cali and Prim's partnership - the playfulness of Prim, paired with Cali's mysticality. This combination supported me in exploring both sides of myself. This was my first time experiencing expressive arts, and because it was non-verbal, without the limitations of labelling what I was feeling, and the restrictions of words, I got to see how much was inside of me waiting to be heard and seen. Through play and enjoyment, I learnt a lot about myself and my inner child that was always in hiding in a world that's too rigid. I have truly enjoyed the entire rundown of the retreat, and I thank you, and send much love to you both, and all the other wonderful participants, for this magical experience.

Attending Dramatherapy with Calista has been a magical and transformative experience. She weaves fairytales, archetypes, and creative storytelling into every session, creating a safe space where I can explore my emotions and inner world with playfulness and depth. Each session feels like stepping into a story that is uniquely mine — revealing insights about myself, my patterns, and my strengths that I hadn’t seen before.
Calista’s guidance is compassionate, intuitive, and deeply empowering. Through her sessions, I’ve discovered new ways to understand myself, embrace my gifts, and connect with the universal themes of growth, courage, and transformation. I always leave feeling lighter, more self-aware, and inspired.

Working with Calista in Intuitive Movement has been an incredible experience. I’ve never felt so free to move and express myself without judgment. She creates a space that’s safe, supportive, and deeply intuitive, allowing me to explore my emotions and body in ways I didn’t think were possible. Through her guidance, I’ve gained a stronger connection to myself, releasing tension, discovering new energy, and understanding patterns I didn’t even realize I carried. Each session leaves me feeling more grounded, aware, and alive. Calista’s work isn’t just movement — it’s a journey of self-discovery, and I’m grateful for every session.
