JANE E. LATIMER, M.A. Arnold & 35th, Portland OR 97219 (503) 293-8906 jane@janelatimer.com About Jane Latimer, M.A. I've been through 11 years of therapy and tried many things, but these tools in the last 3 months have dramatically changed my life like nothing else. My coach said to me, "I've never felt you so true to you as now." The changes, the risks... I have no fear. I've been crying tears of joy. I don't feel like a fake anymore. And I can credit Jane s program for that. M.S. (Chicago area) Jane s journey began as a young artist and dancer. Her budding career was being painfully interrupted by ongoing bouts with bulimia. Searching over a 20 year span for relief from the pain of this disease, she encountered many powerful forms of transformative healing processes. Jane E. Latimer, MA www.janelatimer.com 503.293.8906 aliveness1@gmail.com Experiences of spiritual awakening occurred throughout her life which led to the study of an array of transformational processes such as Agni Yoga, the Course in Miracles, Meditation, Sound Shamanism, Shiva Nata, Laughter Yoga and a variety of Somatic Therapies. Unifying her background as a dancer, author, artist and a psychotherapist, she has merged expressive arts into her work creating a holistic and compelling approach that helps creative individuals heal, grow and evolve as they focus on freeing their creative spirit. Jane has lived free of her eating disorder since 1980. Her work is renowned in the field of recovery, being one of the first to pave the way for creative and spiritually based recovery. Her latest autobiographical account of her healing process, Soul Hunger: 11 Spiritual Lessons That Healed My Life is in progress. She is also working on a series of inspirational visual and coloring journaling books. Jane s work has been sponsored by various hospitals, churches, wellness organizations, bookstores and other enterprises including American Business Women s Association in Colorado, Divine Science Churches, Unity Churches, the Association for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia, HCA Regional Hospital in Tennessee, Pastoral Counseling Services in Illinois, New Renaissance Bookstore and Wild Oats. Jane s love of creative process is expressed in her fiber art, paintings and creative programs. Presently, she is traveling the world and has an international coaching practice. Your work is so beautiful, and you accomplish it with such grace. It's so apparent that your work is not about a program, theory or concept that happens to "work." It's about your choice for life and love and your passion to lead those who will listen to make those very same choices. ~ Dawn McC.

What People are Saying About Jane s New Work: Very inspiring Jane is a present and powerful presenter. She created a sacred space for creatives to bare their creative Souls, to be seen, heard and acknowledged. Jane is a great presenter! Her knowledge and passion about the creative process inspires and informs. Putting attention on this helped me to clarify my path and relationship to creativity. I learned to trust the urges that I feel, to trust these as important even though I don t know where they will lead. Jane is wise and adorable. She is a teacher who teaches from her own experience and deep heart wisdom. I received deep insight and validation. The sharing brought expansion of heart. Jane s direction is needed, powerful and very healing. The evening was rich and full and new. Each thought and each image hit home, gave me insight and a frame for my own experience. I came here thinking of only painting as my creative expression. As the evening unfolded, that expanded to include my work, cooking and being a friend. Thank you for opening doors. Jane s energy is grounded and centered. Creates a space where we can explore from a foundation of stability. Fun, inspiring, informative and useful! You spoke from your heart to our hearts. Very authentic and practical.
What People are Saying About DreamPlay: I had the surprising experience of being taken into another person s dream and becoming the dreamer of her dream. I related and connected to it deeply and gained insight and understanding about my own emotional life. I felt deeply moved and accepted and felt the power of the collective unconscious. I was delighted by the insight I received. It gave me a depth of understanding about who I am in my personal journey. The experience felt like it was divinely guided in Jane s expert facilitation. It was magical to discover such depth of meaning in the little fragment of the dream that I explored today in DreamPlay, so brilliantly led by Jane. Jane s DreamPlay workshop was richer than I imagined it would be. We were instructed not to interpret our dreams, not to dig in with our minds. But to dive into our dreams with our whole bodies and all of our senses in order to re-inhabit the dream. We worked with not only our dream, but different parts of our dream and even if we wished, the dreams of other participants. The journey dug up gems from our soul, imagination, and depth of heart. This workshop showed us our dreams go on forever. I am endlessly grateful for this workshop and understanding.
