pre-Project Runway for sure; it was quick fashion sketching with live
models taught by a wonderful illustrator Pat Porter. The other was a one day seminar with the astrologer Caroline Casey when her book arrived (MAKING THE GODS WORK FOR YOU) and it was taught in SoHo at the
open Center; each of them was thrilling.

"Michele Cassou has designed a revolutionary way of unblocking the creative potential: The Point Zero method. This unique self-questioning method leads us into the wild, untamed place within us where there are no judgments or rules. This is the place where we can feel fully alive and creative, a place where we can express and explore the mystery of our lives."

I thought these classes were great - small and intimate in a personal setting. We focused on Deepak Chopra's Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and worked on building healthy practices into our lives through focus on the present. Classes were six weeks long and reasonably priced. I've met a great network of happy grounded women through the classes I've taken here
My Nia white belt training with Martha Randall. Spending a week immersed in movement, music and magic was a joy.
This five day workshop was held at a former convent in Winnipeg, Manitoba. There were 65 people from all over the world. Deep personal emotional work was done. Work I didn't think could be done with so many people.
A few years later my husband and I were privileged to spend two weeks volunteering for Elisabeth at her office and ranch in Head Waters, VA.
Life is filled with blessing.
My life was changed during Kim Chernecki's bconscious three day workshop in Toronto in spring 2000.
Although I'm no longer in the career that I discovered during the workshop, it opened me up to the endless possibilities within myself.
2. 9th Grade Art (9th grade was a big year for me!) - based on "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" - changed the way I saw and informed every piece of art I have made since then.
3. Transcendental Meditation - I've been a meditator since I was 4.
Women & Gender w Dr. Donna Rawls at Fisk University. Discussed issues of women in leadership, media portrayals and the roles of women around the world. Very enlightening! I took this class in 2001 and it still remains fresh in my mind-7 years later. Mostly because I enjoyed the class and the teacher. That's rare to enjoy both. HA HA
These workshops are hands down the most powerful classes I have ever taken. I have seen such transformation in myself, as well as incredible transformation in so many other women.
It is such a positive experience, and I gage the success of a workshop by the results that show up in my life. The growth I achieved in taking the Something Different for Women workshops surpsasses every other tool I have ever used... be it books, therapy, other workshops. These workshops get results. I wake up every morning feeling so grateful and lucky that I found these classes.
1) Free the Heart http://www.freetheheart.com/home.htm It was powerful and really helped me through a few things that needed some work @ the time.
2) Marlene Schiwy's Journal writing courses @ UBC. http://www.writingcentre.ubc.ca/personal/groupi... It sounds ridiculous and I've been laughed @ more then once for admitting I took a course on journal writing, however there is something in the way that Marlene gently guides you to deeper consciousness. Writing becomes about finding what's in the unconscious, the deeper meanings of your life. And w/Marlene she keeps it so light enjoyable. She is one of my favourite people. I'm looking fwd to taking one of her week long courses in the south of France or Hawaii sometime.

The second best course I took was Set Etiquette...it taught me how to act on set. It has helped me from when I was a television reporter in the news, television producer of a breakfast show, and as an extra on shows like the L-Word and Bionic Woman. I can sure see those people who didn't take the course, and have a feeling they won't be asked back!
Of course now the best course I could possibly take would be one on puppy obedience. How times have changed!

Retrouvaille - This "movement" changed the way that my husband and I communicate and gave us the tools to create and nurture a healthy and loving marriage
Vancouver Crisis Line Volunteer training - When I thought I wanted to go back to school and do my Psychology Degree, a good friend and Psychologist himself, suggested that as a first step (to really see if this was what I wanted to do as a career) I go through the training and work as a volunteer for the Vancouver Crisis Line. He had done this himself and said that all of his years of schooling he still felt that the 6 weeks of intensive training he had at the Crisis Center was some of the best information he ever received. Following his suggestion, taking the course and then volunteering for over a year, I agree that the training that I received was and will always be totally invaluable. The art of "Listening" and being an "Empathic Listener" is lost on the majority of us. If more people knew how to listen, I believe, our world be a much better place.
You should check out a great discussion we had online about Natural birth "Propaganda, Mother Nature, and Your Right to Know What’s Right For You": http://carrieanddanielle.com/propaganda-mother-...

It teaches you to cut out everything unnessary and just focus on the point you are trying to bring across. It is mainly used in business, but I apply it in most of my correspondence and, if necessary, also when I speak.
I've often wondered if my love of language came from dear, sweet, little Miss Barber.
I got on track. Carrie was the catalyst.
And my current and most prized experience is a course offered by inviteCHANGE - Academy for Coach Training that is aptly named LIVING YOUR VISION. Clarify values, distilling essence, crafting a master plan in a collective and supportive group left all of us present with dreams to be realized, clarity-clarity-clarity, friends and confidantes and bonds that will last a lifetime. Fran Fisher created this course 10 years ago and it's simply a gem. BTW, this site is DIVINE as are you both.
It changed my life forever. I got shivers and went in and out of cold sweats during "Holiday"
I danced home.

it is beautiful and rich. I am also very interested in Krishanmurti's teachings. I adore this from him: "Discipline is a tool that numbs the mind." Ahhh...yes!
Thank you for posting the "Love and the law of Moses".
So gorgeous. I will visit your space more often.

Her home and seminar was a great example of becoming aware of what is possible in life. She has created this wonderful program, home, and life. I felt as though I was walking around in something so unique, it was obviously the product of someone's hard work and very specific dreams. It was absolutely life changing and inspiring and she continues to be supportive in my life. The website is www.soul-coaching.com - I can't recommend it enough.

It's really hard to say that it was the 'best', because there are two others that were life changing as well....but alas, our instructor, Darryl Gurney, is a man with wisdom just pouring out of his spirit. I laughed (sometimes rolling on the floor), I cried, I discovered that subconscious beliefs can be changed, easily and effortlessly. My life has been forever changed from these 7 days of inner work and exploration. I'm so happy to be able to offer this work in my own Soul Coaching practice and help others on their life path. I highly recommend exploring PSYCH-K!!!
