Certified Zentangle Teachers: Behind the Tangles
We say it all the time, but it really is true; either Zentangle attracts the best people, or it brings out the best in people. I think it is a little bit of both.
Over the past 20 years, we have had the honor of getting to know so many tanglers and Certified Zentangle Teachers and getting to hear their stories of how Zentangle has changed their lives. We get to meet people from all over the world, from different backgrounds, cultures and walks of life. Despite all of the differences, everyone seems to have one thing in common. They are overflowing with passion and kindness.
When we first began talking about Zentangle’s 20th Anniversary celebration, I knew that the stories of the people behind spreading this method had to be included. I sat down with seven of our CZTs to talk to them about being a CZT, CZT Seminar and the community that surrounds it all.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Kim Kohler, Kelly Barone, Oswaldo Burbano, Sandy Kelley-Jones, Miriam Zimms, Shie Naritomi and Paige Shienberg for taking part in this celebration. And, to all of the Certified Zentangle Teachers for your endless kindness and passion.

Thank you! I am appreciative, grateful, and honored. A true feeling and testament of "anything is possible one step and stroke at a time." 🙂
My seminar experience was powerful. What a generous, creative, amazing community Zentangle is creating! I feel much the same as Shie about the mosaic as an amazing part of tangling together and also as a metaphor for the Zentangle experience, both at seminar and around the world. Love hearing and seeing these inspirational stories and testimonials from CZTs I admire. So moving! I'm proud to be a CZT.
Thank you! I'm so honored ❤

Shie , I love too watch you draw!
Becoming a zentangle teacher has been my dream for many years. However, the price to become a certified zentangle teacher makes it impossible for me and many others to become a CZT.

Taking the CZT was the best thing I ever did! I do not teach as I didn’t find a way to start on it yet
What powerful stories of the healing power of creativity and of a nurturing, supporting community. I feel like... those in this world that can open themselves up to either (and hopefully both) of them are rich. And those that might dismiss the value of either (I had to look up otaku!) are missing out on a richness that is essentially free because, at its heart, it doesn't not take money to be creative and it certainly doesn't take money to find and foster community. Cheers to those who receive, then turn and give back. :-)
I feel sometimes that the price is so set, to ensure that only those who are serious and committed to the Method actually enroll. Not to mention the cost to provide such high quality instruction that qualifies students to TEACH the ZM! A privilege, indeed! I do agree with you, though Machelle; personally, becoming a CZT has been a dream for a number of years, but the cost is prohibitive. I am medically retired and unable to work; the only income we have is my husband's, who just retired. Everyone has a story, though, and many others are "in need" as well, so mine is not unusual. I just continue to hope that one day, it might happen😊 ❤ I hope the same for others, as well! I especially loved seeing Sandy! She's just adorable! She runs wonderful FB groups and is a fabulous and kind source of information and support.❤
The seminar is more money than I get in a month on social security so it’s not something I’ll ever be able to afford.
