  • Magical

    I truly enjoyed the essence of sacred space you created, the relaxed way you taught and attuned with your easy trust in the organic unfolding process and the intuitive way you have of guiding adequate timing for topics, the patience for processing and the sense of when to take breaks. I was able to receive downloads clearly and easily and felt a strong sense of trust in being able to discuss whatever came up along the way. Thank you!

  • Structure & Flow

    I found it very well planned. All topics seemed to fluently build upon each other through the course of the day. There was a seamless flow of transitions between information taught, allowance for processing, discussions and adequate timing for breaks to ground and re-energize. Nicely orchestrated!

  • Professionalism & Flow

    The instruction was very thorough & Stacy always checked in about how I was feeling and if I had questions. All the information was very clear & the format flowed well from section to section.

  • Experience as a whole

    I felt very ready to receive this knowledge & although it seemed like a lot of information to take in it felt very natural to practice it & in no way was overwhelming. I’m eager to now practice more and share with others.

  • Significant Moments

    Honestly I think just connecting with other people in this world is the best, most significant part for me. It served as a reminder how important touch is, as well as being deeply seen and heard.

  • Gratitude

    Thank you for the depth of your lessons, attention & guidance. I’m so grateful for this experience. And I had so much fun! :)

  • Take aways to apply in daily life

    Trusting myself more and moving toward the quiet within myself and others.
