| I didn't know what I was in for as I drove up the canyon on my way to Inner Child. If I had listened to my fears I'd have turned around and headed straight back home. But something called me forward to the gift of this experience. I learned more, and loved more about myself in that weekend than I ever expected to know in a lifetime and I take that gift with me into every new day. Inner Child started a process of healing, love and laughter in my life that lights up everything in it. -- Stephanie |
| Inner Child was such an amazing experience, it's hard to summarize in mere words. Through this workshop, I was able to take a look back at the good and bad things in my past that were affecting my life and behavior. I was able to see how moments in time set a pattern for all future decisions and actions. Because of this, I was able to see what things were affecting me in a negative way and in a sense - throw that sh*t out the window! Inner Child has made me a better MOTHER because I am conscious of how the choices I make will affect my children in the future. It has also enabled me to turn the negative things from my past into positive things for my future. I encourage everyone to experience this workshop - it truly will change how you look at your parents, yourself, and your children. -- Kristy |
| I have done Inner Child, Communion, Vision Quest, Point of Grace, and the Path. All of these retreats are excellent and have given me so many tools to deal with life and life stresses. These retreats help keep me focused on what is important in life and to let go of the yucky stuff and be grateful for family and friends. These retreats and all the friends I have met are true friends and friends for life. Vicki is wonderful. She always knows just what to say and do in the most loving way to get you to look at yourself and always validates that each of us are beautiful spiritual beings with many gifts to give. I owe Vicki and her retreats my life. -- Laura |
Inner Child-This began my true spiritual journey and connected me with parts
of myself that had been neglected for a very long time. Through gentle guidance
and instruction of my teachers Vicki and Kenny and their staff, I uncovered
layers and layers of myself and discovered a very sweet heart of myself. I
found, understand, and healed parts of myself I forgot or never knew excited
and through this workshop, I will never lose those parts again!
Vision Quest-Nothing is so centering as time in the wilderness with those of
like mind to reflect, dream and to be. A journey with women into the Unitas is a
much deserved and needed break from “life in the fast lane.” If brought,
clarity, renewal, direction and balance in to my hectic and busy “stuff” filled life
as a wife, mother, and friend. Yahoo to sisterhood!
The Path-I'm in it...going on a ride, half way there (not quite sure where
there is but it is good), and found a rudder... So got a good boat, got a good
rudder....stay tuned... -- Kym

| There is so much I could write of the retreats that I have been able to attend. I feel the one that change my life the most was the Inner Child Workshop. This opened my mind, heart and soul to a whole new and healthier way of thinking and feeling! (yes, I found out they are two different things!) This was the rebirth in my new and happier life. Not that life is not full of trials (or learning lessons. Which I choose to call them) I also developed new life long friends and a huge extended family that I am truly blessed to have and be part of. This I would recommend to anyone! Love Vera |
| Women's Vision Quest! What more can I say...I am a nature child at heart and this workshop is all about nature! Tents, cooking outside, singing around the campfire and so much much more! We are in one of the most beautiful places in the world! It is very special because there is the loving, powerful and caring energy of women. It is a place where I felt I could let my true self out. I could leave the cares of the outside world outside and work on my insides! I have done this retreat many times and have always love the growth I received. Every woman would benefit from this retreat! Love Vee |

Hello, my name is Kathy. I had battled depression, codependency, and addiction my whole
life (I am now 50 years old). I began attending Vicki's support group in November 2003,
and I have attended several of her workshops since October 2004. I have learned to see
the power that I allowed fears and addictions to have in controlling my life – no wonder I
felt that my life was out of control! The groups are based on only one thing – that we
are in control of our actions, so all we need to do is be willing to do whatever work we
need to do for ourselves. That work is different for everyone because Vicki does not
follow a single treatment plan, specific religion or spirituality, or a single philosophy. She
presents us with the various tools, and each of us decides which tools we each want to
use. I have made tremendous strides in reclaiming control of my life and feelings and
actions. I have gained self-empowerment and self-esteem. I finally quit smoking after 30
years thanks to the behavior-awareness and addiction work I have done with her. Now I
am working on my weight!
