​"It was razor-sharp, kind, human, beautiful and spacious. These two beauties, together, hold space and presence like I have never experienced elsewhere. Their wisdom, humility and combined deep experience of The Work makes it possible to fall deeply into yourself and discover freedom, in a way that feels human and reachable."
Nadine, Ireland

"Extremely profound. Amazingly supported...I literally envisioned a dark grey cloud that surrounded my body to be detached from me. A life-long shadow that I struggled to be away from finally left in the presence of kindness and awareness."
C.V.

"I was able to go deeper into The Work with lots of support and compassion and I allowed myself to get more vulnerable. Thank you Susan & Sarah-Maya, you are a true example of The Work and pass it on beautifully as I observed the love, laughter and fun between you. You truly compliment each other as you work and shared yourselves with us all. This furthered my work and I'm truly grateful to you both."
Joanne, PE

"An amazing experience and a beautiful space to feel safe to share...learning about me...how it's okay for me to love all aspects of me, the dark places, the despair."
Mary, Ireland 

"It's life changing. Welcoming all of the thoughts that separate me from life are the way to intimacy, to redemption. Love connects me to myself and opens me to the magnificent others walking on their own paths. I am so grateful! This group was extraordinarily supportive. Everyone was so committed to their work and I benefitted from everyone's Work. The quality of listening was a call for truth. I would absolutely recommend this retreat! Sarah-Maya and Susan are creating the safe space and guidance that allows the light to come in."
Elaine

"I can see my unconscious patterns of thoughts better. A much better ability to do The Work on my own.  All the stories of everybody helped me see better in my own stories. The way Sarah-Maya and Susan are totally there for us. I always felt part of the group, thanks to both. I wish this retreat for everybody because of the place, the environment, the nature, warmth of the house. For Sarah-Maya, your integrity, your warmth, caring, your love of everybody, your ease, your touches, your cooking. For Susan, your acuity, your clarity, the intelligent way you have of explaining, your openness, your ease."
Lorraine

"Amazing Grace. Intimate, profound, joyful, kind with tears, grateful for realizations and wisdom, growth in compassion, bursts of laughter, and the blessing of waking up with the thought this could be a fun day. I adored the intimacy...the sharing and seeing myself in each others life gave a very special profoundness to the unfolding process. The space is offered without pretension and the integrity that holds every interaction, the respect that allows each one find their own truth, proves to be a magical mixture of wisdom, joy and love in both Sarah-Maya and Susan.
Catalina

"So powerful! I know in my heart that my sister's grief is done now. Susan and Sarah-Maya are both excellent teachers to provide you the extraordinary help that may be required in The Work. They are very supportive. The energy to share and do The Work in the group is so absolutely powerful. Susan and Sarah-Maya, you are like beautiful angels who came into my life...and I will always be in gratitude for your humanity and love, that you generously shared with me. With all my tenderness." 
Mimi

"I was blown away by the almost non presence of the ego, as we met our thoughts as they came. I was able to really learn how to use inquiry and that was my main goal. I felt at home."
Cindy Lefebvre    

“I loved it. Felt very welcoming, embracing. Powerful. Spacious. Allowing for my Work to happen. The Work deepened as a practice for me."
John, Toronto

“Love love love love. You guys light the way. Your courage, strength, humility, light and love held an inspired me. Pure joy. You two have done your Work. This enables you to transmit the information effectively and hold an incredibly strong (and gentle) space. Great mini-school and intro to The Work. Also, beautiful location.”
Leah, Colorado

“I felt so good to be supported all the way by you and the group. I love The Work and for me, this was a chance to live it really. Gratitude! Many thanks to you both, you were wonderful guides. It is so liberating.”
Nicole, Quebec

“I really loved it. I felt safe and supported, never judged for what I was going through and how I was doing it, on the contrary. I loved the intimacy of a small group. The mix of exercises with The Work and times for music and dance and connection with others. So supported and held. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Kristina, Ontario

"It was so much more than I expected and I’m walking away feeling like I do when I leave the School. I came here pretty distraught and was able to reconnect more with my true nature. I feel supported and no so alone. I was able to see things regarding the situation with my son very differently and reconnected for the first time in weeks. Outstanding curriculum - you’re both incredibly insightful and amazing facilitators and teachers.”
Giselle, Mexico

“It was fabulous. Freeing, open and safe. I feel I have dealt with a lot of fear, depression and anxiety that I came in with. I feel closer to myself and more willing to love her. And I feel prepared to go back out in the world and face my 'challenges'. Beautiful facilitators/leaders, amazing and wonderful retreat to take the time and space to look within and find peace in what appears to be stressful"
Catherine, Newfoundland 

“ WOW! Refreshing, loving! I discovered a lot of myself. The Work is a powerful tool for post-dramatic stress disorders. I believe it can save lives! This retreat is a place to express our emotions, feelings, thought and be who were are, it’s a gift.”
Vicky, Quebec​

“Having skilled presenters take me beyond zones of stuck-ness has helped me find peace and aliveness in the midst of investigating the most sticky and painful thoughts, patiently, fearlessly, lovingly. These presenters are gifted with intelligence, wisdom, skill, playfulness, compassion and great authenticity.”  
Workshop Participant

“The fact that there were two facilitators was extremely powerful. The synchronicity and playfulness of these two was amazing to watch. I truly spent a very productive weekend.”  
James M., Quebec

“What worked for me was the generosity, openness, and genuine presence of Sarah-Maya and Susan, guiding me with kindness. It is just a beginning for me and I’m curious of what will come. Thank you…du fond du coeur” 
Workshop Participant

“Sarah-Maya and Susan were exceptional facilitators. I was quite impressed by their understanding of The Work and the quality of their teachings and interventions. I was also touched by their willingness to continue to inquire about their beliefs and therefore be in a place of vulnerability even in the face of the participants. They showed great integrity and authenticity. I highly recommend their workshop to anyone who is just a beginner or a more-advanced practitioner of The Work. 

It has given me the little push I needed to get going again with The Work. I have been doing many inquiries since and been experiencing many shifts! Thank you thank you thank you for your beautiful work.”
