And I think that without having healthy relationships, with our family, friends and lovers, we lose a ton of energy.

"I feel liberated more than I have in the past. Being in an environment with women as true female beings expressed fully is so wonderful. I know how to see myself as an Elder, as a beautiful alive woman, wild and expansive. I feel grateful to Kelly for opening her home. I also feel gratitude for your lessons, Amara, and your graciousness. You know how to be present with each of us in a way that is raw and open and accepting. You are a Goddess exemplified. Namaste"
