“I find improv to be one of the greatest vehicle’s for self discovery and self expression that has allowed me freedom from what was once a debilitating prison created by the fear of making mistakes.

About Phil Diehl and a Rebekka Maestre

A note from Phil:
"I believe that improv helps people be authentic and brings their true self out to play. My approach to teaching this amazing art is one where safety is paramount and mistakes are embraced because they can truly be gifts. Come learn to play improv with us and let free your creative genius. I’ve had people say they were terrified to come and afterwards were smiling and laughing with joy. I teach the annual event ‘Enchiladas and Improv’ (and soon classes) for the Center for Spiritual Living in Santa Rosa because I think improv is a spiritual art that heals the heart and inspires people to live a full life."
