​I had always heard about the growth that takes place with people in small “spiritual support” groups, but I had no idea just how impactful my own experience would be. I was a little skeptical (because I’m really quite the introvert), but now I can’t imagine my life without my group peeps. I’m not this close with my own family!  It’s way more than a support group – it’s really more of a life navigation group. And the teaching from the Blackbirds Rising leaders – just awesome!

I want to give a shout out to Shaun Furlong and his amazing classes and workshops. I have taken several, and I’m rapidly becoming a regular. Not only do I learn things I never see taught anywhere else, but the depth of my understanding and my ability to apply it in my everyday life is truly exceptional. So interesting – the time just flies by! 

​Can’t wait for the next one.
