Testimonials

I was at a pivotal point in my life…

This retreat has brought inner awareness to my soul. I am in the process of rediscovering who I am and how much I appreciate all that is good about me and all that is around me. Shawna and Sharon held my hand through this magical process of their amazing work at Lotus Retreats. As facilitators, they both compliment each other so well. I loved their personal stories and the powerful processes!

It has been a life-changing experience!

I call it “boot camp for the soul”!

It cuts to the core!

This is something that I think everyone should do! Even a sceptic would walk away with tools they could use throughout the rest of their life.

I observed changes happening in the other participants right before my own eyes! I began showing up differently in my life – experiencing my work, relationships, and life with much more clarity and confidence!

I am now choosing to speak my truth and know that it will all work out!

Arletta C. (Calgary, Alberta)

 

It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience!!

The work really set the tone for me as I decided early on to be as open and honest as possible so I would benefit as much as possible from the work. I am very appreciative of how focused the facilitators were in order to get to the possible root of my unhappiness and unrealistic self-demands. I realized how little I really thought about the guts of my life.

I can honestly say that I have so much more hope for my life now and a renewed strength in my Christian faith!!!

Sharon and Shawna have the knowledge to walk with you through the dark paths and fields of your mind to heal open wounds and lead you to the land of happiness and comfort to begin a new life.

I love how they straightened the twisted lines of my mind! I now know that the solutions to my problems are in myself.

Thank you for creating such a profound and healing workshop! So powerful!!

I've been raving about it all week! I loved the interaction and the emotion and the connectedness that we all shared. Everything flowed together and worked as a whole.
I felt very comfortable and safe. It was amazing what I discovered about myself! I left the retreat with an incredible sense of healing and joy!

I am looking forward to attending again soon!!

The setting was very welcoming, beautiful, and peaceful!

I loved that the processes allowed my non-verbal “child” self to play and passionately connect with my truth. I found the experience powerful and affirming – I was reconnected with the palette of emotional color and memory that lives inside of me and given tools for exploring, healing, and transforming my life!

Thank you!

I recently had the good fortune to attend a workshop through Lotus Retreats.  I came seeking answers and insights into my personal patterns that I have allowed to hold me hostage most of my adult life.  And I must admit, I did not think I would find them at this retreat.  I did not think it was possible to remove blocks and long held beliefs in such a short period of time.  The effect was profound and truly transformational. 

The “shift” continued after I left the retreat and insight after insight tumbled in day after day.  As I look back in my journal there has been a clean, sharp “shift” that has taken place.  And I am grateful for the experience and look forward to the continued insights that seemingly come from “out of the blue.”   

Many thanks to Sharon and Shawna!

My experience with Lotus Retreats was expertly guided and brought profound insights.

I was reminded of the following:

        We are beings of love, peace, and joy!
        All else is an illusion!
        It is only the heart that is real!

I enjoyed the retreat very much! I really needed to do something like this right NOW! It was perfect for me! It was beneficial to connect with others on a deeper level and share experiences. I felt safe and comfortable. It taught me a lot about where I am at right now and the process I am presently going through. I found all of the exercises interesting and enlightening. I learned so much!
 
Shawna and Sharon work so well together! They complement each other beautifully, and have many bases covered. They have a wealth of knowledge about this exciting work and a lot of sincere, honest enthusiasm for sharing this knowledge and their talents with others. It’s easy to relate well to one or both of these women, and to feel safe enough to let loose with them.
