Who looks inside, awakens" – Carl Jung

 

Dearest Petra,

Thank you for creating the space, time and place for me to open the door. I've sensed a calling to this time and place and I'm glad I heeded the call!  

This has been magical for me. From the guided imagery exposing the life-long wound to the symbolic creations. I have a door that is silver and gold. Nothing to any longer fear. It has eyes to see, mirror to reflect, a heart that has the experience of all life has to offer. Love, pain, Joy, sorrow, Freedom, Imprisonment, creativity, disillusionment, laughter, sadness. All that I am.

It is now time for me to Let go, sit and become...

Dear Petra,

Thank you for bringing me here. Words cannot express the gratitude and appreciation I feel as a result of my three days here with Petra. This has been the most profound, important, enlightening experience of my entire life and I am completely awe-struck.

I came here feeling like I should be here, but not knowing exactly why.  I am walking away with a whole new outlook in life, angels, and my unique soul.

Petra , you are absolutely amazing and have a true gift to treasure!

With ever-lasting love and gratitude...thank you,

- Doris, Myrtle Creek, Oregon

 

Thank you Petra for gifting me with my liberation.

 

Dear Petra,

I remain in a relaxed altered state - or perhaps simply my natural state, and I find my mind trying to wrap around what happened and every time I try, I know its useless. It just is without knowing. It is and I am.

I remember the question you asked that led to my realization: What would happen if there were no difference between the bliss and the pain? In that holy instant, separation collapsed into simply Being, and I arrived at my long-sought destination of Oneness...allowing my mind and body to quiet and relax, to release the struggle...

In this new space i hear echoes of the past reverberating but they have become just that: echoes rather than new noise.  My happiness has exceeded its bounds; my ceiling has become my floor...and my heart is dancing as i begin simply enjoying being without agenda...and knowing I AM for the first time...

Petra,

I can't fully express how wonderful and magical this time has been. You held the space and energy for me to fully embrace myself... My gratitude and humbleness is beyond words. 

"The time has come to turn your heart
Into a temple of fire.
Your essence is gold hidden in dust.
To reveal its splendor
You need to burn in the fire of Love." – Rumi

This is the first day of my new adventure. I arrived very late last night. The candles were burning, lighting a beautiful platter of delicacies; exactly what my tired body needed. I felt immediately at home and loved. Sometimes to truly be cared for is our doorway to renewal and what is waiting. There are many doors and they are all open now... 

Thank you Petra with much love, 

- Dawn, Roseburg, Oregon

Dear Petra,

The most explosive growth of my entire life!  Thank you for the Shamanistic journeys to retrieve a divided Soul. I shall love you forever for helping to bring back TRUE spiritual meaning into my life.

I sailed to my Soul's shore on a sea of tears gently guided by the soft breeze of your wisdom. You are God's gift to me!

Huge Hugs and Luvs

Thank you Petra for your gentle guidance pointing me in the direction I know I need to go to give my Spirit what it needs.  Here is what I wrote last night:

"I start enew, emerging from this place, bringing with me joy, love, playfulness, patience, grace, and stillness – All coming from giving myself what I know I need."

I appreciate the quiet and the beautiful energy you've created. Much love and many blessings

With much love,

Petra,

My life was changed today in large part because you guided me through the door and made me feel safe. Thank you!  I am energized and ready to take the "new/old me" anywhere she wants to go.  My beautiful mask is a fabulous symbol of how happy I feel.

With joy,

- Linda, Eugene, Oregon 

 

 

 

Dear Petra,

I have searched my entire life to feel and see inside of me, what I have this week. In a world where there are so many distractions to be someone other than ourselves, I found this magical place where I reclaimed my soul, my true self, and my true calling is in this life time.

Thank God you have the courage and faith to follow your true calling, for through you I have discovered myself! May you bless others as you have blessed me, and may my life shine brighter from this amazing time spent with you.

God Bless,

Dear Petra

Seeing you was exactly what I needed, faced as I am with the end of my day job and starting a new career. What synchronicity.

I admit I was skepical at first...I came to the retreat with you because I could see from your book that you had navigated the soul's darkest places; indeed had learned to use them to deepen your spirituality.

Learning through you how to do that for myself is ineffably valuable. I learned the meaning of my own self realizations, and more importantly, the need to honor them and embody them into my life... 

I understand a deeper meaning of meditation, the reality of my own wholeness and a more coherent groundedness....

I found you to be a safe refuge for the deepest feeling that I could express. I experience you as fun, sensitive, and totally present.

Your work embodies inspiration, humor, wisdom, and shamanic magic. I feel blessed!"
