Dina Glouberman is the legendary founder of Skyros, an alternative, holistic resort on the Greek island, Skyros. If you ever get the chance to work with her, take it.

She calls her method "Imagework." Sometimes what Dina does seems obvious; she's giving your imagination a work out, somewhere between an idyllic massage and a boot camp for enlightenment (please excuse the mixed metaphor but somehow it fits). Then, out of nowhere, she asks a question or offers an interpretation that transports everything into a different world where you possess clarity, insight and compassion. It's not merely that she gives you insight, you see how to get it. She is not just a gifted giver, she is one of nature's true teachers. My life has been transformed by knowing her.

Dina offers courses and books, check out her website, Imagework.
