I begin by first acknowledging myself for having the courage for embarking on the challenging journey of embracing personal responsibility and choosing to grow up emotionally.
In 1992, while living outside of Thunder Bay, the entire course of my life changed when I met Ross Laing. From the first moment I met Ross, when he reached out and took my hand, I knew that everything was about to radically change. I felt the first sparks of intense feeling course through my veins from places that had been buried alive.
Prior to this encounter I began exploring my healing through counselling at a Physical & Sexual Assault Centre. I entered the world of the Native American culture through healing circles, ceremony and Sweat Lodges. I studied Shiatsu, re-birthing breath work, energy work and various other healing modalities. All of this was groundwork for the New work to begin.
In 1994, two years after my destined meeting, I followed my heart and journeyed from northwest Lake Superior to the Mill. This is where I was immersed in a new life experience of deep self-exploration which continues to this day. It has been a powerful experience of integration of the True Self where I am liberated from victimhood, suffering and pain.
As I look back on all of this now, this profound journey has become a way of life and has prepared me for a life of service. Now there is a true sense of balance and inner peace.
