Inviting Marina as a speaker for the Annecy Women’s Club, we had no doubt that the event would be held at the highest level. But this time, we couldn’t have imagined just how heartfelt and impactful it would be for each participant. Marina approached every woman's needs with great sensitivity, listening attentively and providing thoughtful feedback. At the same time, she managed to keep everything perfectly on schedule, respecting the time frame set by the community. Most importantly, every detail of the event was carefully planned, creating a space where each participant felt at ease and free to express herself. We would be delighted to welcome Marina Appel as a speaker at our club again!

All the material was simple and easy to understand. It made me want to explore dance and storytelling and bring more creativity into my life. Creativity truly helps to shift focus, change one's state, and relax—it allows for a deeper connection with oneself. At the beginning of the training, I felt anxious, but by the end, I experienced peace, freedom, and a deep sense of relaxation. Nothing was difficult to grasp. I am grateful for this training—it was incredibly interesting. The material and presentation were outstanding. The facilitator created an atmosphere of trust and curiosity, guiding us into self-exploration through creativity. The training was truly inspiring.
