"It was very good. I was able to get a grasp of what it is that I am facing and now have an understanding that the feelings I am having are normal. I am not as scared of my situation as I was before the course."

"For many years I have had difficulty sleeping. I was weighed down by guilt around the death of my youngest daughter. I was presented with the opportunity to take the course Separation and Loss. I was ready to try anything and I am so grateful to all concerned.
I had the most amazing experience midway through the course: I felt literally as if someone was lifting this enormous weight off my shoulders and I could smell the essence of my dad, who has been gone for many years but was always there when I was in crisis. That night I slept for the first time in many years. And I continue to sleep through the night.
This is a course I would recommend for anyone with issues around separation or loss.
Thank you. Thank you."

"Last year I experienced what can was described as an internal "system collapse". I had the sense that my whole life was falling apart. The stimulus was my partner leaving our relationship. I was completely unprepared for the depression that followed. I had never known depression, nor had I experienced a profound sense of losing myself. There were many days that I didn't know how I'd make it though until noon. Fortunately, Separation and Loss was offered within a few weeks of my disarray. With guidance from Joann and Linda, through reflection, ritual and expression, I was able to feel a bit of myself again. I remember catching myself smiling at one point towards the end of the workshop. It was an odd sensation because I hadn't smiled for quite a while. In that moment, I knew I'd come into my full self again. It wasn't going to be that day, but with baby steps, I knew I'd make it. I have much gratitude for Joann and Linda, for their support, and for opening the path forward."
