Basic and Advanced PSYCH-K Training!

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!!!

That is wonderful. I was lucky enough to discover the book, Brthing from Within when I was pregnant the first time. Totally woman supporting. Natural Birth is so important and so powerful, She explains why. I was able to have two great water births at Aquario in Spain.

I recently trained with Denise Linn in Soul Coaching for nine days. It was beyond amazing. She was this amazing combination of spiritual, though still remaining human and real. Her honesty and encouragement to quit worrying about being perfect was incredibly liberating.

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.

I'm definitely not a pro-astrologer, but here are a couple of basic summaries - http://www.saturnreturn.net... and http://www.newage-directory.... Fun stuff (yikes!)

Deborah, I just visited your blog
[http://deborahdrake.blogspo... ]
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.

Madonna's Re-invention Tour Live in Toronto.
It changed my life forever. I got shivers and went in and out of cold sweats during "Holiday"
I danced home.

I did the Artist's Way course with Julia Cameron herself in New York City earlier this year. I loved it.

Well, I too have taken the Landmark Forum, in fact the entire Curriculum for living. And what's more I also have taken the Edward Tufte workshop, here in Seattle years back and it is AMAZING, he was!
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.

Landmark ILP was the best of the best for this "skin bag." I had a very special sister-in-law (Carrie...yes the same as above!) push me into the Forum and i went for it. It was very pivotal. I am constantly using what I learned in family, work and even in recreational pursuits. I am transforming a multi - billion corporation with what I was given. very powerful.
I got on track. Carrie was the catalyst.

I have to also say BeCome Passion with Dr. Cheryl Fraser. A weekend exploring SEX was the last thing my husband wanted to do with me in a room full of people but it was discrete, profound, insightful. Rare to find something so practical too, when it came to sex. We had a great time. It was a good tune-up. A little time for just us, post kids, you know?

The Canadian National Voice Intensive. 6 weeks at UBC, focus on the voice and body, working on Shakespearean text. Changed my voice, changed my life.

I heartily second this! Amazing course.

Indeed! Saturn moves into a new sign every 2-3 years, so when you're around 28 and 54, it "returns" to the sign it was in when you were born. This equals a major growing up moment (sometimes a midlife crisis). You may have to reckon with some demons, but in doing so, you discover a critical part of your life path.

I, too, had a wonderful high school English teacher, Miss Barber. She made Shakespeare come alive. The Merchant of Venice and MacBeth were the two plays we studied. I understood nothing when I read on my own, but when Miss Barber read, the heavens opened, light shone down. It was wondrous.

I've often wondered if my love of language came from dear, sweet, little Miss Barber.

It was one of the highlights of my life so far and I did actually sit at her feet. Elisabeth was a force of nature. You're right - it was an immense honour. One of those experiences you have to pinch yourself to realize it's actually happening to you and even then you're not absolutely certain it's real!

It might sound lame, but a course in Action Writing.
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.

the Birthing From Within approach is a big passion of mine. Thanks for the reminder. In the next few weeks, I'm going to start up some convos on the new documentary, The Business of Being Born.

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.co...

any astrologers out there want to chime in on what Saturn Return is?

Absolutely the intro and advanced mentor trainings with Birthing From Within - www.birthingfromwithin.com. I experienced a complete transformation in my approach to working with pregnant and birthing families, and have been learning and growing in my practice ever since.

I took a screen writing course at UCLA - an intensive program that gave me the formula and courage to write.

I did the Artist Way with a group of woman over 12 weeks and after the last class I changed the direction of my career and here I am. It changed my life!
