[ new book ]
Satya Winkelman has a Master’s in psychology and expressive
arts and is certified as a psychodramatist (I don’t know
what that is, but I think I’ve dated a few!) and
sociometrist. Satya has a new book designed to help women by
outlining her five-stage process developed over nearly 30
years in the field. “Through
the Fire: A Woman’s Guide to Transformation” is the
title and you can read more about it
here. Satya is a great friend of
AnythingArts.com
and we first met her on stage and through
improv classes at
Florida
Studio Theatre. Though she has a last name, we believe
she should simply be Satya - like Cher and Madonna. Satya is
also a sculptor and arts patron. |
