It was a beautifully guided meditation, I felt fully immersed and very well guided in the practice. The visualization practice of the seven homecomings really reminded me to appreciate the help that I have received from others in this life. Thank you.
As a stay-at-home mom, this online workshop experience gave me the opportunity to connect with other moms without having to coordinate babysitters. … The prompts also helped me remember details from my own birth stories that I may never have remembered otherwise!
