“After all that we’ve been through these last few years, my system was so grateful to be in community. The retreat was such a gift to my body and my internal system.  Being in Susan’s presence and with her somatic invitations, my system felt deeply cared for and so alive."

“Grateful to Daniel Foor, his team of supporters and the ancestors for bringing through this deeply needed work with such integrity and authenticity. This is a much-needed and overlooked resource for the crisis and obstacles we are currently facing as a global community… its potential ripple effects are many and far-reaching. Thank you also for modelling cultural competency and respect along with effective communication, it was deeply inspiring.”

"Session after session, we opened to one another as we had never before . Thanks to this technique our exchanges have become more gentle, peaceful and we are now together in a more strong and confident way.

"I've had the privilege of attending a retreat facilitated by Kay Gardner that focused specifically on the topic of Legacy Burdens. Kay's teaching style combines didactic and experiential learning exercises which helped me deepen my experience and understanding of working with my own legacy burdens and those of others. Kay is exceptional in her experiential teaching style, which blends live demonstrations with follow up processing and debriefing sessions to solidify and concretize key skills and teaching points. During our retreat Kay facilitated the teachings all while creating a container of safety which supported many of us participants in learning to work with our own parts and personal material. I have found this style of teaching, learning, and connecting to be incredibly effective in deepening my learning. Learning and deepening my knowledge under Kay's guidance has been nothing short of ground breaking for my work personally and professionally." 

“Susan creates a sacred container for our embodied learning that allows me to be in Self energy—it is in my spiritual as well as “somatic” memory. I am returning with a renewed sense of my own strength, a new awareness of ways in which I diminish my strength and a much stronger sense of my own light and the Source.” 

"Where to begin? I am cautious to not overwhelm with gratitude and appreciation. I’ve done quite a lot of trainings in various fields and I have never left a workshop feeling as well and nourished. A vibrancy, a sense of support, a knowing of health and wellness was so evident for me and my body. It was a happy surprise. Gratitude for the content of the work that is loving and kind. Gratitude for the extension of the work into building cultural acknowledgment, recognitions, apologies, reconciliation and also capacities to find new and old ways of reweaving connections between living humans and their ancestors, individually, and most importantly across cultures in time and space. A spirited and generous way of accessing and implementing cultural repair. Gratitude for further flow of love into acknowledging and repairing Other-than-human relationships, specifically for me personally with the Land. Gratitude for Daniel’s finely tuned capacity to hold so much in his attention and intention. Finally gratitude for the presence of Daniel. Words can’t express the value of being in the presence of a person with integrity and humility.”

“The couple's retreat was a profound experience. In an atmosphere of warmth, safety and acceptance we were able to explore and understand parts previously unknown”

"I deeply appreciated this retreat for the depth of working with legacy and ancestral burdens. Kay does an excellent job of bringing to light and helping heal old inherited wounds we may not even realize we carry. Kay also brings a profound acceptance and love to each person and retreat she leads."

“This retreat opened up totally unsuspected depths on my path as a therapist and wove those threads together-I loved it!” 

"It was the progression of the exercises that held the meaning and the healing; one after another; slowly revealing what was inside me."
