Navigating the Borderlands supported me to follow my heart’s impulses, to access wisdom shared with me from my ancestors, and to say yes to arising inner wisdom. The facilitators adapted so well to the online context, allowing the unique retreat experience to unfold naturally.
Kate Dunbar
Borderlands are transitional gateways that don't get the attention they deserve - and every person present got something supportive and transformational out of this experience. This retreat was just what I needed at this transitional/liminal time.
Jennifer Blue
I loved everything about Navigating the Borderlands. I learned that different kinds of death are a healthy part of life and nothing to be ashamed of. We all have many things to grieve and, while in the borderlands, we can accompany each other and receive nurturing.
