"I awoke amidst the yelling, screaming, melting, and cries of women.  Their words were filling me up where I was empty.  My sorrow filled the space... My muscles contracted and released.  I was dizzy and breathless.  I was new.  I was waking up... My head spun and my back ached.  My muscles contracted and released.  I was dizzy and breathless.  I was waking up… Awakening to a new person.  Someone who could live in her own bubbling flesh.  Someone who would live. Live.  I am going to live my life.  Born anew into a life of passion and freedom.  Unafraid to be who I am.  Unafraid… to be big."

"Because of this, I will continue to step out on the ledge and leap. No doubt I will fall as I have thousands of times before, but I will also soar. I’ll continue to tell my children and friends about my adventures to help them move through old notions of what should and should not be done with our bodies, hearts and souls. I will move, and dance and undulate for the stuck, for those ashamed of their bodies, for abandoned and wounded people of this world as I fully raise my body through the earth and stand naked in the warmth of the sun."

"As I stripped myself open in the cave where Isis has created space to strip I began to heal. Others witnessed my journey and I learned to trust again. I learned to care again without giving myself away, to sit with my own hunger and speak my needs and desires. I wanted, as Isis has put it, to be fucked open to God. I wanted to find the man who would walk through fire for me and with me. As my husband of 25 years watched and saw my pain he opened up and became that man and stepped into the fire to hold me while I writhed and clawed my way back up and broke into the light again to become the unabashed sexual being that I am,without shame.
 
Now I breathe into each new day, suck the pleasure out of what the day brings. I eat again with gusto and do not deny myself the eclair, the chocolate, the sex. I buy flowers for myself, pretty underwear. I soak in the beauty of the men and women around me. I revel in myself. I have stripped and I have danced and I will forever."

"As the music washed over me, I felt every single emotion - and even some I didn't understand. I cried. I laughed. I hurt. My entire life flashed before me and I almost understood everything. And nothing. I felt the naive 5-year-old. The pained 8 year-old. The blooming 12-year-old. The pregnant 17-year-old. The numb 20 year-old. The ecstatic 23-year-old.
And then me.
I felt me.
I felt me.
It was me.
Completely me.
And I fell in love.

With me."

"...Earlier this evening as my class sisters and I stretched and breathed together in the womb-room, Isis led us through the birthing process anew, and into the warm, conscious arms of a mother who whispered thoughts of love and caring and “welcome” over and over and over again.  As she did, I actually felt the Mother singing a song into my skin, imprinting me with Her, wrapping me in a blanket of warmth and acceptance while rocking me into joy... This time, my Isis-led birth has been one of transformation...This time, after being reborn through the fire that burns away old untruths, my first  breath was one of pure joy, without any pain.  It filled not only my lungs, but also my belly, and bathed my vulva and vagina in light.  Every breath I take now is both blessing and song and I am committed to breathing and moving through all as I complete regaining my truest female self."

"I wish I could sit down with you someday and tell you what amazing changes are appearing each day inside me from your class... I'm not the same scared woman that walked into your studio. And it feels GREAT! "

"I can't say enough how taking your classes for two years transformed my life and brought me into my sensuality and my aliveness in a way I never thought possible.  I continue to live with the benefits of that 2 year juicy adventure!"

I'm still processing last weekend.   It was an amazing experience- glad I "wasn't thinking straight" and signed up.   It was more healing than I would have thought it could be.  Saying thank you doesn't sound like enough for you being willing to brave my fury.  And, damn it,  Emily Post  doesn't have a chapter on this.

Even though I had attended many of Isis’ classes, I was still terrified to attend this workshop. (Waking The Seed) I didn’t know what to expect and was nervous about exactly how we’d go about exploring orgasming with our breath. But I figured that for the very reason I was afraid to go, it meant that I MUST go and explore.

From the very first moment, Isis made everyone feel at ease – she has a unique ability to create a safe space that holds you while gently easing away any defenses you might have.  Throughout the day Isis led us through a series of activities, exercises, and dances that enabled us to start to open ourselves up to our own possibilities. I later realized that it seemed as if the whole workshop was designed like an orgasm – slowly learning how to release, to let go of our resistance, to not be afraid to lose control, and to discover the pleasure that comes from complete abandonment.

I won’t spoil the ending of the workshop for you – it’s got to be experienced to be believed. But I’ll just say this: What Isis teaches, works! Boy, does it work! And not just in the way you’d expect either. Through Isis’ intuitive ability to guide us right through the myriad of defenses we’d built around our hearts and out the other side, for a while I was able to evaporate all my can’ts and shouldn’ts and not good enoughs and I just got to be me. The real me. Someone I’ve never met as an adult. And I loved her. And apparently she is AMAZING! What a shock to finally realize.

It still makes me cry even to recall it, it was so life-changing. It was simultaneously the most fully in-body experience and the most incredible out-of-body experience I’ve ever had. Words don’t do it justice, as it doesn’t have much to do with the logical part of me that can construct a sentence. Just please go experience it for yourself.

"I just wanted to send you "from-the-bottom-of-my-heart" thanks for the couples' workshop this weekend. You created such a safe and beautiful space with your humor, your candor, your gentleness, your sensuality, your spunk and your wisdom. Being able to learn from you and share in the emotional & spiritual space of other incredible couples contributed to the beginnings of a journey I knew I needed, but could never have imagined. I expected to learn some novel techniques and interesting approaches to sex (which I did) but I had no idea that I was also entering into a complete transformation in the way I perceive my body, my space, and my love for my husband."

"I cannot even begin to thank you for Saturday!  Shane and I came away completely connected.  You did such a wonderful job making us feel comfortable, enabling us to focus completely on one another.  In the two days since our class, we can both feel the difference in closeness in our relationship, and we each came away with a deeper understanding of each other in every way.  I am so excited to see what lies ahead for us.  Thank you for deepening the love we have for each other!"

Sincerely,
Shannon and Shane
