“Barah spontaneous painting” workshop was a great experience. At the beginning, I was skeptical about the concept of connecting to oneself and painting without any plans, I thought it is awkward!
Session after session and round after round, I mastered self-connection and presence, which led to openness and profound self-discoveries that literary changed the way I interact with life.
I’ll never ever forget the brush that was loaded with red paint that Amany encourage me to put it on the paper after long profound facilitation, it was the last stroke on the painting, this brave risky brush brought with it a whole world of great energy of life and liberation. I clam that this moment was a turning point in my life.
I simply fell in love with the process that led me to the vastness inside me.

After two days puppetry workshop “The Puppet and Me” for care givers refugees, I can say that I’m aware of my inner beauty, I’m much closed to me, I’m feel joy and prosperity. I feel a huge amount of positive energy filling my soul. I want to spread it to the world, I feel I want to do kind acts to everyone.

I feel my beautiful vastness.

I’ve attended the “Unleash the Inner Child” program, I’d love to talk about the revelation and effect that I’ve experienced through this journey; I’ve realized certain hidden patterns, I’ve been connected to my inner child I felt her so much. Also, my relation with my mum had changes a lot, since the “Deo painting session”.

I’ve attended “Internal Family System” program, IFS, and truly Amany is one of the most people that has affected my soul. In this eye-opening program. I felt so much understood and supported, this program helped on all levels, the personal level as a person who are striving to understand myself as well as on my professional level as a Psychiatrist.
The program is outstanding, and Amany is a special facilitator, counselor and human being.

Attending “Barah in the Nile painting” workshop was so significant and surprising at the same time. Working with Amany is enjoyable as much as useful, comfortable as much as seriously deep, diversified as much as focused. Connection was soon created between me and the work – even I’ve never painted before, or have any relation with colors. It didn’t take minutes to find myself indulged in her way of representing the workshop, present and genuinely enjoying the moment. Not to mention that the spirit of the work and the work of the spirit are two sides of the same coin, and this is what I can say about Amany and my experience in the workshop.

I’ve attended with Amany several workshops which all contributed in additions to my journey. they were all relieving and full of life. the most important for me was the course “unleash the inner child”. It really made a great transformation for myself. every session took me smoothly into a deeper level inside and Amany was so professional with her beautiful and soft spirit that handled and guided our group smoothly through the journey. I’m so grateful I met Amany in my journey

I met a group of Sudanese friends who attended with Amany the “Expressive art program for women empowerment” like me, and we all confirmed that it was a life changing experience. I’m so grateful for this work that smoothly change life. If I’m going to talk about this I would write books and books to do it.

I’ve attended the “Expressive art TOT program”, I’ve never imaged I can create all this beauty, paintings, puppet, sculpture!! I’m in love of all what I’ve done. I’m in love with the whole journey of creation and exploration. I’m grateful for Amany’s peaceful spirit, insights and empathy.

For my whole life there was a huge barrier between me and painting, during the lockdown i tried my first livestream session with Amany called “Painting alone together” and this has been the changing point in my life I learned how to step by step discover my inner self, to be aware of every feature in my personality and how this is reflected in my spontaneous selection of colors, every line, every movement on the paper I learned to be connected through this spontaneous paintings to my body and soul in an amazing journey, in every session she was leading me to be more and more aware of my own identity in my daily life activities, she opened up to me different insights in my life. And by the way i found out that
I am a very good painter and I loved painting.
Thank you Amany for that positive energy you give me all the time.

I’m now attending “Wholeheartedness” for empowering women refugee program, and I can vividly feel life and love to myself. All what I need, all possibilities, all joy are inside me, this is a life revelation. I’m grateful for this amazing work.

“My counseling journey with Amany Shenouda is the most valuable experience in my life. I see the world differently and envision the future. I learned how to accept limitations and gained an exceptional mind set.
Meanwhile, I can see what I considered as old failures as success stories”.

No words can describe the difference in my life after my one on one counseling sessions with Amany. Through this awareness journey, I learned that believing in myself is the most valuable quality. I learn that nothing can get me closer to my Creator as coming closer to myself through his words and seeing myself as his pure beautiful creation.
I believe Amany is a wonderful counselor who is genuinely supportive and professional. She believes in herself and her mission in holding space for others to grow and flourish.
