Mary has a unique and extraordinary ability. I noticed after the first evening that she had given me the opportunity to choose new behaviors, more aligned with my deepest values. I feel more connected and loved as a result. Mary owns and models presence. She is grounded and clear in her communication. She is real. She teaches tools that assist us in remembering who we are and what we came here to share. Mary is a master teacher. I am so grateful to have worked with her.
My main perspective of Mary is that she is a person who ‘walks her talk.’ I think I have learned as much from watching how she teaches, coaches and facilitates individuals and groups, as I have from the specific exercises she teaches. And, I’ve learned a lot!

Joy is Feeling Everything
It is the first day of December and it seems to me as if 2023 went by with a flash. I have felt deep despair about the growing division between people and the devastating impact it has had on human beings, all life in fact, including our planet. And, I have also...
Mourning the Suffering in Our World
Less than 2 weeks ago from the time I’m writing this letter, Hamas militants crossed from Gaza into Israel and killed more than 1,300 people, most of them civilians. Israel then retaliated and killed over 3,000 Gazans, most of them civilians. The death rate continues...
