"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."
Nelson Mandela

From Workshop Participants:

"Thank you for bringing the Hero's Journey® Workshops to Naropa. You are a masterful facilitator with a caring and heartfelt approach. You created a warm and trusting environment for group members enabling them to share deeply meaningful content from their experience. It was a very special seven weeks. It was an honor and a pleasure to experience the creativity you brought to making the hero's journey come alive for each of us. With gratitude. "~ Former Program Director at Naropa

"What a terrific group of people, and I want to tell you I was knocked out by how well the group was led." ~ Naropa student participant

"I was pretty dejected, negative and hopeless when I went in, but the workshop (and the time in between thinking about stuff) helped me end up coming to my own personal conclusion that was much more positive and empowering, and even humorous at times." ~ Caregiver participant

"I liked the positive and productive approach. I loved the sharing and open dialogue, the trustworthy atmosphere. I enjoyed the content and the process. Discovering our own path is the best way to go. Plus tying it all together with art at the very end was perfect. A nice surprise for me. I enjoyed the people and different experiences and perceptions." ~ Caregiver participant

"The whole experience made it clear to that becoming a caregiver again is a major part of "The Adventure of My Life" and I am its hero. Then came the treasure, the sincere sharing and camaraderie among people who were initially totally stranger was very heart warming."
