Sketch by Sketch: A Creative Path to Emotional Healing and Transformation

During a difficult time in her life, author Sheila Darcey found that the act of sketching and freestyle drawing - of giving a physical form to her thoughts, emotions and ideas - was an impactful way to process what she was feeling. One simple sketch became a daily practice and developed into a meditative and therapeutic tool that Sheila has taught and shared with thousands of people.
