Comments from Teaching Evaluations for Arts & Spirituality Courses

Wonderful! Christine was so well organized, prepared, and inviting! The variety of activities and sharing experiences was wonderful, helpful, and moving. Christine was wonderful and knowledgeable. She balanced discussion, prayer, and art-making time well. I learned a lot! Christine presented information clearly and had informative and helpful handouts. The flow of the class was very good. She integrated experiential learning of all kinds in a tight schedule without a feeling of being rushed. She is an excellent facilitator of group process - thoughtful, respectful, and kind. Her example set the tone for the group. I would invite her to lead a group of people I cared about. Christine was a thoughtful, sensitive, articulate, soul-filled presence. Her passion for the subject came through strongly and I felt I was ministered by her in this course. Her attention to aesthetics, to creating a prayerful atmosphere helped me to get in touch with the divine. Content and presentation were noteworthy. Well thought out, very diverse presentations of the subject. Very sensitive to our intellectual and emotional needs. Life changing! I've never attended a course that was better planned and organized in my life. Christine's thorough preparation made for a remarkable week of learning, depth, and experience. I grealy appreciated how grounded theologically the instructor was. This class was experimental, creative, and practical all at the same time! Thank you, Christine, for your presence and sharing the bounty of yourself, your experiences, and studies. Christine's love and passion for her topic imbues her teaching and creates a safe, nurturing environment for exploration. Absolutely incredible! Christine is a wonderful teacher and model of these beautiful activities. Christine is a wonderful teacher and spiritual guide. She explains things clearly, presents challenging tasks in a very invitational, non-threatening way. She helped build real community is a very short time.
