October: VISION QUEST
For men and women called to sit in an ancient and sacred manner upon the Earth. A nine-day program in the Gila Wilderness of Southwest New Mexico.

My weekend workshop with Julie was an extraordinary growth experience. By her example and clear direction, she showed the way to first free my heart of old pain and then extend my heart
to everything around me; plants, humans, animals, the whole universe.  She was a perfect guide but refused to allow any dependency.

When I think of our time with Julie, I am filled with gratitude
for the beautiful way she helped us grow in sensitivity to all life.
I feel linked to all of creation and the lines of communication are wide open.
                                         ~LM, Ayurvedic Technician, Iowa

Julie provided a roadmap for me to recognize my true identity – not as a lost soul but as a Co-Creator. She made me conscious of the buried unconscious belief systems which arrested my creativity, spontaneity and authentic nature.
