Everything about The Healing Arts Haven was beautiful: the group, the food, the workshops. I came expecting nothing and had a very healing and fun day! I can’t wait for more.

Chani Lipovenko

The Healing Arts Haven was such a rejuvenating, fun, and pampering experience! I feel like I was really able to practice true self-care and connect with myself, my artistic side, my body, my soul, and with other moms.

The Healing Arts Haven provided many new and eye-opening experiences to support my mental well-being. Everything was so well-curated! Thank you for helping me feel comfortable leaving my comfort zone and opening up in this special group!

Mushky Borenstein

The Healing Arts Haven came at the perfect time. After a very challenging year, I was exhausted on every level. My husband and kids immediately noticed a difference in my demeanor when I came home, and I can’t wait to utilize the tools I learned to keep it going. Thank you so much for setting the tone for a beautiful and healing day.

Mushka Tenenbaum

Thank you so much for investing in ME and so many others. Some days feel too much to handle, and I look forward to being able to use the tools I gathered from this haven when needed. I've seen that gasping for air all the time doesn’t have to be the MO—thank you for caring!

Toba Goldstein

This day was just what I needed after feeling burned out and tired of the daily grind. I am so grateful for the time and space to learn and self-reflect with other like-minded women. It was a day I won’t forget!

Rachel Siyunova

Thank you so much for an unforgettable day; I gained so much from the workshops. I am a single mom with three kids and often feel depleted. This day helped me feel empowered to recognize the power within. I can’t wait for the next one!

Raizy Zuber

An oasis in Crown Heights! Everything about this day was beautiful. From the workshops to having time to connect with other moms, the food, and having an outdoor space to enjoy. I didn’t feel like I was in Brooklyn. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have this day to fill my own bucket.
