"Lani understands as few people do what it takes to face and heal the wounds in our souls. In the 15 years I have known her, I have been inspired and humbled by the courage with which she lives. It is with remarkable gentleness and understanding born out of authentic journey that Lani offers herself to guide others into a creative expression of their souls. Her distinctive use of the therapeutic collage process is a powerful means of transformation and healing."
Brenda Keck MAMFT, Therapist
 
Since the first pictographs were painted on cave walls, art has been used to express some of our deepest feelings; fear, hope, tragedy, and triumph. Art has the capacity to bypass the restrictive elements of language expressing the deepest cries and desires of the soul. "Art is the meeting ground of the inner and outer worlds." (Elinor Ulman) For many who pursue their stories, talking alone is not enough. Art can become a vital conduit through which their stories can flow more easily and completely. Lani Kent knows and understands this truth, both personally and professionally. As someone who has powerfully used art to explore and express her own story she is uniquely qualified to assist others in discovering the medium of art as an avenue of expression of their stories. Lani is a gifted artist and communicator whose talents will compliment those seeking to better understand themselves. I encourage you to take the opportunity to learn the advantages that art can offer for self-awareness and understanding under her direction.

Lani Kent has an extrodinary gift of teaching and sharing tools of healing she has uniquely developed through her healing journey.  Amazingly annointed to inspire and ignite the passion within, powerfully passing along her batons of freedom for survivors.  I am blessed by what she has imparted to me.

"I am continually amazed at the ways that God reaches out to His hurting people with such tenderness and mercy. Through those times of gentle recovery comes great power and strength giving us the courage to go on when we feel like we can't take one more step in the journey. That is what I experienced the first time I participated in Lani's Therapeutic Collage Workshop. From the beginning to end God's sweet presence was evident as I let feelings that were too deep for words find expression. The images began to speak to me and I was profoundly reminded that God knows the deepest places of my soul: the soul He created and longs to heal. I highly recommmend this workshop to anyone who is willing to let healing come into the lonely and painful places.

“Lani is a wonderful artist! In her work through Healing Expressions, her artwork is poignant, but gentle and expresses her knowledge of individuals in pain extremely well. She creates a connectedness between her art that can often transcend human relationships. She also goes the "extra mile" by presenting her work with a personal note and in packaging that conveys her caring sensitivity. I highly recommend her work.
