2026 SUMMER INTENSIVE

2026 Winter Intensive Testimony

“The week spent with familiar and old faces during the MOTHER Intensive was one of great bliss and learning. I was craving that so deeply, and to be given it in this way, with this community, felt like a prayer answered. The timing feels like a blessing. With so much going on in the world, and family back home living in a heightened state of fear, it felt good to have an escape. Not just a building, but a room full of what I love to do, and with those who share it with the same purpose and love.”
