What Woman Within grads have said: "I appreciated the many effective modalities used to get to the “wound” while simultaneously getting to the healing. By the end of the workshop, without really being aware of progress during the workshop, I found I’d taken a big leap through my unique problem into freedom from the past and into taking more responsibility for my present and my future. I had lightened up! While the Father Wound workshop transformed my relationship with Dad, my relationship to anger was even more deeply explored and changed.

The container she and her staff created and the things that occurred within it allowed me the safety and room to explore deep dimensions of my relationship with my mother and experience a level of healing, love and forgiveness that I had not achieved before that time.

Clearing the Air™ Between Women & Men
(Previously known as Family Reunion)What women have said:
"Opened my mind and heart for deeper intimacy with people. I learned so much about myself and gained a greater sense of freedom and acceptance."
"A real life-changing experience for me."
"I left with the largest capacity for love and loving that I have ever experienced. It has profoundly affected all my relationships."
"Life is so much better when I am being real."
"This experience changed my core belief in who I had to be to be loved. Now I know I am lovable as I am, without being everyone's mother."
"When I arrived I was hopeless about the possibility of relating to men in general. I had no compassion or patience for men in general, and didn't have a sense of how my beliefs were determining that reality. I was gently moved from a place of over-but-inadequate self-protection, disbelief, mistrust of self, to a livable world where I not only feel much safer with myself around men, I am actually drawn to the male energy in general -- their process, their honor, their healing."
"Brilliant facilitators epitomize the ideal Mom and Dad. It worked me and allowed me to safely confront, acknowledge and over power any fear that was holding me back. In one quick weekend, I breathed, cried, confided, trusted, exposed, laughed and farted with a new family of beautiful women and men.
"Fabulous! It did what my parents didn't do - prepare me for adulthood. I felt tremendously and continuously challenged while being fully supported to celebrate the success of accomplishment."
"The overall experience was expansive for me in terms of becoming aware of and healing my lack of trust with men. It helped me to see and to overcome my barriers to trust and intimacy with men especially."
"I found myself finally opening to the healing of trust and love, supported tenderly by my fellow healers."
"It supported me in being more honest about who I am."
"Knowingly experiencing intimacy for the first time n my life has given me hope and focus in my life."
"Family Reunion was a leap for me into the uncovering of the places that I've wounded men and been wounded by them. You held the container for magic to happen."
"I found that I don't need a man in order to feel safe and protected."
What men have said: "Very positive - heart opening, healing."
"An exceptional opportunity to work gender issues with men and women who already have similar tools. The atmosphere accelerated my growth."
"You never outgrow your need for unconditional love."
"This was one of the richest, most transformative, most varied, most challenging and yet most nurturing workshops I've ever done, and I've done a bunch. Truly remarkably growth and insight packed into five days."
"Family Reunion has helped me eject from my life mannerisms that have plagued me for almost 60 years."
"The workshop will allow your body to remember wounds that are healed through interactive exercises. Be intense, it is great."
"The experience was exhilarating and challenging. It moved me closer to making life-changing decisions."
"Have reconciled with my wife after over a year separation. It helped that process continue to work in my soul."
"I went to a place that I have only been to in the Father Wound workshop. I let go."
