"I love coming here, it feels like a second home. It's warm, inviting, & the sense of love is everywhere here, like being wrapped in a warm blanket. Thank you for providing this beautiful centre for relaxation, healing & regeneration."

“I just want to say thank you for the journaling sessions. I really enjoyed them and have a different perspective on journaling than I did before. I also found that much of the material had a connection to what [my spiritual director] and I are doing right now. Your work is much appreciated.”

“Stephanie. Thank you for the wonderful presentations you did for Journalling. The theme each evening was well and carefully crafted for a range of expression and understanding. The music was exceptional and fitting for each week. The questions were thought provoking and ones I had never considered. And you gave us plenty of time to thoughtfully respond. Your gentle, wise comments and instructions were so very helpful. Thank you for the time, energy and prayerful preparation you put into this course. I know it will continue to be relevant for many in the future.”

“I very much appreciated the Journaling Journey. It helps me refresh my Journaling habit - daily since 1993, for sure. Sometimes one gets in a rut and a fresh perspective/approach makes a world of difference.”
