About Creative Passion Path

Creative Passion Path is about believing that each individual, given genuine respect, presence and empathy, can discover their capacity to find their own inner wisdom and passion path.

 

 

Behind this is Carolyn T. Tongco and Tanya Maria B. Gonzalez

Carolyn Tongco - Philippine Expressive Arts, Life Coaching and Meditation

 

Carol's passion is to use expressive arts, mindfulness practice, storytelling and life coaching to connect, empower and bring healing to individuals, groups and communities. Therefore, she prefers to be called a “heartist”. She loves art and helping others.

 

She has conducted expressive arts workshops, art retreats, expressive arts coaching, stress management and wellness webinars for different NGO’s, school and corporate clients. Through engaging in the process and helping them find meaning in their art output, they gained insight and learned healthier ways of coping to move forward with their life experiences.

She is currently taking Masters in Clinical Psychology in the same university.

 

 She's a mother to 3 dogs. On her free time, she enjoys being a "Plantita".
