"Beth has a tremendous ability in shamanic work, is able to move in and out of the shamanic worlds with deep sensitivity and a lot of spiritual power. I feel very secure with Beth - she brings love, open heartedness and compassion to her work, combined with a lot of experience, focus and knowledge."
Judy Reynolds, California, Hospice Counselor

As a teacher and a shamanic practitioner you've been a vital participant in the transitions happening in my life. I'd like to share with you a poem that emerged during my integration time after the long-distance soul retrieval you performed for me.

Convergence

there were scatterings
of ideas
of impulses
desires
separate but waiting
yearning to converge
to create a force
and fulfill a purpose

slowly they came together
wading through the mud
then rapidly
accelerating into clear water
rushing now
a multitude of rivers
emerging as one
in the great fertile ocean

-Wendy Arnott, mother and artist, Beaumont, CA

"In 1993 I met Beth for the first time in a workshop in the Swiss Alps. Her great knowledge of Shamanism, her enthusiasm, great humor and at the same time total seriousness is inspiring many women like me in finding their own Shamanic roots and living in harmony with nature and the helping spirits. Some years ago Beth did shamanic healing work and a soul-retrieval for me, which helped me to feel my inner power again, to get back my energy and creativity."
Mirjam Doerig, Switzerland, Art Therapist

"The support and love from the shamanic group is indescribable. To have a place, a sacred place to honor ourselves, is priceless."

"This is one of the few places where "sacred ground" is created...to create the rituals and ceremonies of each one's individual truth, where each is encouraged and supported in finding and living her 'own' truth."

"Your warmth, your humor, your ability to include everyone, your respect & humility all together create a safe and nurturing environment where the spirit can soar."

"I love the way your [Vision Quest] course completely honored my process. There was no agenda of what I was to heal, how I was to heal or any "system" I was to learn. The course guided me in my own work. The healing that occurred was deep, was profound and was MINE!"
Priscilla Schaffer, Senior Planner, California

"The [Vision Quest] course has helped me to sort the wheat from the chaff and to look within myself to find the tools I needed to move forward with my life. The course got me out of "NEUTRAL" and into "DRIVE"."
Jeanette Supp, Teacher, California
