Some Testimonials from Past Participants
 

"I really liked the class and I feel that I made progress by sharing my experience." Ivy J.

​

"My stress level just went way down by reading and listening [to the class recording] on this page. I enjoyed learning from other people's experiences and sharing. I see myself in all the other participants. It reaffirms that my needs and feelings are valid." Crystal S.

​

"Doing the looking slowly to the side along with the hand tapping/waving and the 'hand touching shoulder' brought much relaxation as well as bringing a togetherness feeling and expanded awareness, like my body awareness expanded a good 12 plus feet and become more whole . . ." Torri N.

 

"The sessions are very satisfying because they feel safe, welcoming, and supported. They validate things I have known but never had words for, acknowledgement or explanation for...

The people in the group allow me to feel accompanied, seen and heard." Monique M.

Our innate desire for harmony with life can only be nurtured in safety. When our nervous system is contained by the experience of safety all of our organs begin to work harmoniously and begin to flow in the same way that terrestrial natural systems. This allows for the experience of the end of feeling separate from oneself and others. We exist, we allow others to exist, and we become open to Being known to Exist by our primordial Intelligence.
