Lets hear from others who are sharing their experiences with Laura's art, Nature inspired Reading cards and Courses -
"Laura Bowen is a storyteller. Engaging with her paintings and oracle cards is akin to being taken through an inner doorway, to a fireside - outside of space and time - that is seated in the collective soul memory. Like any gifted storyteller, Bowen makes you remember - and through the wisdom of her ancestors she helps you to reconnect to your own. " - A.M. Galdorcraeft
