- Craig Wyer

- Joanne, Businesswoman, Hockey Mom

 

"Laureen explains shamanic concepts in a way that anyone can understand them."

- Carol Fiske, Lay Minister and Hospice Counsellor

 

"Laureen created a safe environment for us to enjoy a new experience. She encouraged openness and feedback. She really validated our own experiences and we thoroughly enjoyed it."

- Jean Clarke, Mother, Grandmother

 

"Laureen combines a pleasant, easy manner with the power of one who knows. With a gentle but firm hand she takes us deeply into the cave of the soul to reconnect us with the oldest path of all."

- Alan Parry, PhD., Family Therapist

 

"I now have a richer way of ritualizing my inner journey and searching. I loved the way we used all of our senses in the workshop: the smells and the sounds of the drum. Laureen has a light, positive energy. She allows total room for all this individual experience even though it's a group setting. I wanted to stay longer!!"

- Janet Leeder, Mother, Enneagram Teacher

 

"I came away with more confidence and inner strength, feeling much more able to cope with the daily stresses, and stronger in body and soul. I could see attending this retreat yearly. Laureen created an atmosphere that was supportive and strengthening to everyone there I'm sure. Being able to engage 10 women from very different paths into a group that was supportive and comforting was in my mind a feat."

- Margaret Ranson-Leland, Stay-at-home Mom

 

"The workshop opened me up to what I already knew and confirmed it in such a positive way. It was wonderful. It provided me the missing piece of the puzzle so now I can get deeper into my intuition and spirituality. I'm a Catholic and I can say that this work strengthens my faith because it strengthens my relationship with myself. Besides what I learned, I felt so peaceful afterwards it was like a spiritual counselling session."

- Deanna Cromwell, Mother, Grandmother, Building Operator

 

"In the workshop I learned to trust my intuition and act on it. I have learned since how strong and accurate my intuition is. It's an incredible power inside me to be who I want to be and it's there all the time. "

- Elizabeth Neef, Career Transition Consultant

 

"Laureen--you have truly given me a wonderful gift--your knowledge and experience. Lots of wonderful things have been falling into place since the weekend. It's been the most 'integrated' return to the everyday world I've ever experienced."

- M.D.

 

 

Personal Growth Workshop Participants Say:

"This was definitely the best workshop I've ever been to! To take a big topic like creativity and break it into fun exercises people can learn from is a real skill. Even 3 years later I can remember exactly what we did and I still refer to the notes"

- Donna Seidel, Small Business Owner, Author, Teacher

 

"My experience as a participant in creativity workshops with Laureen has significantly changed the way I approach problems in my life. I came away with a process complete with tools that I have been able to integrate into many aspects of my life. This process has now become almost second nature to me. It works! I found Laureen to be an encouraging, creative, gentle but challenging individual who was very intuitive about what the needs of the group were at any one time. I would highly recommend Laureen as a facilitator to educate, promote, and encourage creativity in a group setting or with individuals."

- Marilyn MacDonald, Office Manager, Development Education Coordinating Council of Alberta

 

"I really enjoyed the creativity course I took with Laureen. The biggest benefit is I see challenges in a more positive light. Creativity has become a life skill I try to use all the time. Recently, I used it to help my brother develop new directions for his small business."

- Jim Webster, General Manager, Merak Projects
