Testimonials
“Abby Caplin’s workshop brought together my wayward inspiration
and inconsistent motivation. The result has been a wealth of creativity
and insight that I was missing since being diagnosed with a chronic
illness. Being able to share with, and learn from, other people with
unique and heroic voices all their own has been an experience I will
value all my life.”

isolation I feel is not unusual, and it has encouraged me to be more
open to people in my life. It has also helped me realize that I am

being judged, and gain a lot of insight into how to handle illness.”
