Today I glimpsed the possibility of the embodiment of spirit, in human form! Thank you for helping me to see that this is possible, for me, for all of us.

H. Kelly, Calgary Alberta

The partner work brought me right back to presence, to a space in which I could open to the anxiety waving through my belly.

N. Bergin, Lethbridge Alberta

I have learned a lot from the distinction between authentic loving anger and healthy anger.

T. Fleming, Calgary

I have been deeply touched by Shayla’s presence and love.

G. Bauer, Lethbridge Alberta

I really appreciate the intensity Shayla brings, as well as the embrace of all that it means to be human.

M. Ross, Calgary Alberta

You have taught me so much about being human. I use it every single day.

It is like coming back to myself. All the energy, excitement, fire, joy, freedom came back all at once. I feel grounded, expanded.Thank you Shayla, to have been willing and able to welcome the deep voice of my heart. It is empowering. It is just what I need.

Virginie Baysse, Nelson BC

I learned from you how to ground myself during hard times, and there have been times that
I have drawn on that knowledge and been very appreciative of it. I learned about staying
in touch with my soul’s desires, the gift of silence and contemplation.’

Wanda Leblanc, Vancouver Island, BC

What really shines for me in Shayla is her willingness to be present for the whole stuff of life,
to find the words, and be willing to share the journey with us and to ask for nothing in return.

Sandi Leatherman, Nelson, BC

Working during with a partner during the retreat, I accessed the purest unconditioned
awareness of my life. As I sat across from my partner and attempted to find a thought, feeling,
experience – I had nothing like that to share. I was surprised at how nothing came to mind.
All I could feel was the softness in my arms resting on the firm base of my legs. In our shared
gaze, in his soft eyes, I felt joy and tenderness.
