My name is Mitch Rosacker and it is my great pleasure to be the owner of Art Iza Way. It is a dream come true to have this beautiful place where we can explore who we are and celebrate the wonders of life through the creative process.

I was previously an engineer on the Space Shuttle program at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. I retired in 1992 and returned home to Colorado. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Denver in 1996. I earned a Master of Arts degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and Art Therapy from Naropa University in 2001.

I pursued this training because I have always loved the creative process and I am passionate about exploring its potential as a way to experience the inner vibration of our True Self. I am passionate because I have experienced it myself.

I truly believe that the creative process can be a practice of spiritual awareness, and I now choose to offer my services to others as we continue this exploration together. It is an inner journey into the Unified Field of Creativity that pulsates within each of us – connecting us all in an unconditionally loving field of pure potential.
 

My name is Susan Hess and I am so pleased to be able to offer you the Vital Music program at Art Iza Way. Mitch Rosacker is my dear friend and it is an honor to be able to work with him in such a wonderful and spiritual place.

I have always played instruments and listened to music as a way to center and tune into my True Self. I decided not to pursue music as a career in my earlier years, as I wanted to keep it fresh and wild, as a secret and special part of my life. So, I followed my interest in people and cultures and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology and Fine Arts from the University of Colorado in 1974.

As I changed and grew over the years, my interests in art, music and people continued to develop and evolved into a passion for the creative process and the healing power of music and sound. This led me back to school and Naropa University, where I earned a Master of Arts degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and Music Therapy in 1998, and subsequently became licensed as a professional counselor and board-certified as a music therapist.

Now I know that music is truly a key force for the exploration of deep inner wisdom, for the expansion of consciousness and for resonance with the divine. I enthusiastically offer my services at Art Iza Way in order that we can experience this together, these most profound and amazing avenues to spiritual awakening — the perfection of sound and the essence of musical vibration.
