Raves for Joanna as a Teacher

“The weekend you and Beth created was everything I’d hoped for, and it has lingered with me all week. I look forward to integrating the insights and energies and to journaling and spendng more time with the cards that came forth in the workshop. The Gaian deck has always been a living one for me, but I do believe the chance to work with it in a group energy was very powerful. Thank you again.”  — Theresa EagleHeart, North Carolina

“Lovely, knowledgeable, warm, magickal.”
- Rev. Judith Laxer, founder of Gaia’s Temple, Seattle

“It was a wonderful weekend.  It was nice to meet some of the Gaian Circle members and other new friends.  You and Beth made everyone feel very welcome and comfortable.  This made it easy to share feelings and thoughts during the workshop. It was interesting to see where people were on their path and listen to their deepest thoughts about healing ourselves and the earth.  Sunday connected everyone together in the circle outside in nature.

My deepest connection with our circle and the earth was during the Dance of Life and our Nature Observation Exercise.  Even though we all were in different places in the woods sitting and observing, it felt like we were all connected just as with everything  in nature.  As I sit and observe during the year and dance, I will know that others will be sitting and dancing  with me working to heal ourselves and the earth.  As a seeker, I appreciate and honor the experience and education you and Beth shared  this weekend.”  — Maggie Lukowski, North Carolina
