Thank you so much for the training . . . I really have felt prepared as I move forward with clients. I have been grateful to be working with people these days and every session really reaffirms that I'm on my path and it feels wonderful to be helping people.
~Sara Violante, Portland, OR shamanic healer and teacher http://saraviolante.com
My heart swelled when I read the description of the series. When I went through the program I was at a critical point in my life and my spiritual growth. Throughout the year I gained new skills; learned so much ftom others in the group and deepened the relationships with my helping spirits. The vision quest remains fresh in my conciousness and I call on what I learned and experienced nearly everyday. Thank you for continuing to develop and offer this class. Amazing! I have gained so much from Alida's classes over the past few years. The skills and tools she teaches have helped me deepen my relationship with spirit and bring focus to my soul's purpose.I use what I've learned from Alida everyday to bring more of my authentic self to my professional work and personal life."

The best thing you can do for yourself !! I discovered who I am, not the person I was domesticated into. We all have an inner self, a being made up of light and love, that waits to be unlocked. Thank you, Alida, for offering this course once again; it truly changed my life.
