"I was thrilled to have Lórien teach her Playshop to my yoga students. She incorporated spiritual practices with creativity and helped the students explore their inner landscape with the use of art, intuition and paints.
The result was very positive thanks to her mindful guidance, passion and expertise on the subject matter. I highly recommend Lórien!"

talent, and exceptional teaching ability, distinguishes her from the other teachers I’ve had. No
one else has impacted my spiritual and moral lifestyle than Ms. Eck.”

“Ms. Lorien Eck is one of the most dedicated teachers I have had the pleasure of taking a course
with. She differs from the rest of the teachers because her jocund nature makes her teaching
lessons outstanding. Not only has Ms. Eck been my visual arts teacher, but also a counselor. She
guided me throughout my college process and has been there whenever I have needed guidance.
Ms. Eck, without a doubt, is one of the most loved in our school because we can always count on
her as not only a teacher but an advisor!”
~Jazmine Castenada
“This friendly and loveable teacher has been in my life for four of my greatest years on this
earth, and her productive personality and her spiritual, enlightened charisma has made my
greatest years greater. As an art teacher Lórien, has taught me to be a more critical thinker than
any of my core classes ever will.”

“I have experienced a lot of great things while I was in your class for my sophomore year I loved how you would tell us about the color’s and shapes of painting you would also educate us with history. You have educated me with your art knowledge. You have always believed in me & in your students by pushing us into doing better or to achieve are goals & by doing better in your class. Ms Eck always had us doing some kind of after school activity keeping us off the streets, not getting in trouble with law. Ms Eck always made me feel the great artist that I am now and I thank you for that.”
~Frank Villasenor

freely and creatively. Ms. Eck was always the best in supporting my ideas and insights. It was
always a pleasure being in her class. She’s so passionate when she teaches and always gives it
her all. She’s most definitely a person who made high school a wonderful experience.”

“Ms. Eck is a wonderful and a kind-hearted teacher who does not judge her students, and has the
patience to teach any student who is willing to learn. I can guarantee for any future students that
they will not be disappointed because her class is a lot of fun and it’s very relaxing, and I
especially loved going on field trips to art museums.”
~Astrea Martinez
“Being in your class was possibly the best experience of my high school life. It had a relaxing
atmosphere unlike other classes. In your class I learned that if you follow your passion in life,
you won’t have to work a day in your life. You’re #1 on my list Lorien! :)”
~Boris Gomez
“The Ms. Eck’s of this world are difficult and rare to find. As an educator, she has gone above
and beyond teaching her students the importance of art, which is too often overlooked, and also
by encouraging each and every one of them to reach their full potential as individuals. Ms. Eck
opened up the doors to a world of color to a world where all of her students, including myself,
felt safe and able to express ourselves and not feel judged.”
