A Couples Weekend
I want to honor and thank you for conducting a fantastic workshop. Your passion for the work is changing the lives of many, and each of those lives is precious. Today you blew my mind and opened me to a world I had not seen before. I struggled during the second half of the workshop - I was still reeling from the first half. As I drove home I wondered if I would ever be able to recover from my wounds and spells. I felt totally broken. I was drawing a blank on how to conceive of a future. I felt hopeless and in a way paralyzed. Would I even be capable of making any changes with the knowledge you imparted, or was it just a vivid diagnosis of my condition with no hope of relief? I thought it may be a very long time before I see any results in my life, if ever. I told myself I have a king wound so deep it may never be restored because I have no means to restore it by. And then something bubbled to the surface of my mind and I decided to call an ex-girlfriend I had not spoken to in some time. She seemed happy to hear from me, and after we chatted a bit, I told her that I realized the reason I had broken up with her was because I was acting out patterns of getting angry with my mom that had nothing to do with her, and that I wanted to make sure she didn't feel like she wasn't good enough, because she was more than good enough, she was just in the middle of some stuff I had to work out for myself. It started a good conversation between us and I feel I have cleared up something from my past that I had been sitting with. Later on my drive home I called my mom, and she and I had a conversation that on her part was no different than most conversations we have. But it was a totally new conversation to me. I heard her and saw her with a clarity I had not before. All this time I had been clinging on to spells I am not sure she is even casting anymore! Now I was seeing her more as she was in the moment, with some of my filter taken off. I really heard her more. I appreciated her, and felt a great deal of compassion for her. I felt unattached to her breast, yet loved her very much. It was incredible. And then I knew that there is hope. That as painful and hard as it was going through today, it has already brought joy and new freedom, power, compassion, and wisdom in my life. It has been a lot to take in and I am very much looking forward to applying the knowledge and making healthier, more constructive choices and leading a more emotionally and sexually healthy life, and to building a great relationship with my mother, not only as mother and son, but as two individuals who are supporting each others' growth and communicating as compassionate and respectful adults. I feel gratitude for the work you are doing and the difference you are making in people's lives. And I deeply honor and respect your courage to take the risks and endure the emotional and other challenges you must have faced in your own life to become the person you are now and to teach people what you have.

This has been one of the most profound "wake-up"s I have ever had. As Warriors has begun to truly heal my relationships with men, I believe today's workshop has begun my work to truly heal relationships with women. I wanted you to know what a service you have done for me and for all the women in my life, past, present, and future.
