- “The weaving workshop was a gift to myself, because I wanted to learn about weaving and had been dreaming about it for a few months, to explore and learn about the medicine of weaving. There is so much to learn about this art, and it was a wonderful experience to have you as a teacher to share a glimpse into this world and a bit of your story… It was nice to feel like I could be quiet, while still being and feeling like I was a part of the constellation of people that were there.”
- “Sedona is an excellent, enthusiastic and patient teacher. She brought the small group together… and inspired us with her confidence.”
- “I loved Sedona’s always kind, always positive, always eager and ‘All is Well’ attitude! I’d never weaved in my like and she made me feel like a pro!!”
- “You’ve single handedly started a love affair with the rigid heddle loom for me and so many others that you’ve taught.”
