John is a gentle, encouraging, non-threatening instructor, and I like the expressive, thematic form and process he offers up for the exploration of our inner landscape through movement (with visual and verbal components). It works for me. It is not about performance or getting it right; it is about entering a feeling state and  gaining new insights about oneself.- Ingrid Alderson

Besides providing a wonderfully safe space to experiment freely with movement, John instinctively discerned what we all needed – individually and as a group – and created the conditions that made sure we all got it. What a great gift!    - Avril Orloff 

John's workshops are like pre-school for adults.  We move, we play, we draw and we have important fun together. - Kris Klaasen

John provided an inviting, safe and relaxed atmosphere that allowed me to connect with others as well as the meaningful aspects of my own well-being. - Pieter Van den Berg

The work that we did at the workshop was gratifying in that it allowed me to expand and explore parts of myself that are forgotten in everyday life.  It was fun making art, stretching and even laughing.  Lovely day! - Katy Churcher

I found startling illuminations about myself in John's workshop- very direct, very obvious, full of truth, simple things that the body had to show me.  This is freeing. - S. Galay

John Weiss helped us realize that The Victory Girls really are from outer space! This was key in our survival as a new accapella music trio. In only three workshops that John designed especially for us, we found out who we were as individuals in a group and how to play off each other in a group. Using sound, movement and drawing we gently stirred up information from the unconscious that helped us discover key ideas for developing stage characters. We still use his tools for overcoming performance anxiety. His approach is so gentle and fun that we can't recommend him highly enough. – Mildred and Coko, of The Victory Girls 

Loved it!  Experiencing life, connecting with yourself and others. - Allan O'Meara

An enjoyable, inspiring playful session with self learning.  - Stan Shaffer

This was a great way to connect mind and body and be creative in a safe space. - Michael Atkinson

It really helped me connect with some of the yearning, process it through my movements and really see where my resistance is being held. - Kimberly Malysheff
