I had a wonderful time with you both and all the women who came; the weekend was a great catalyst for movement and insight that will, no doubt, continue ringing bells for all of us for a long time to come. I especially loved the singing and drums and ceremony!

Over the past 5 years I’ve trained with Eagle’s Wing on both residential and non-residential courses. The content of each of these courses was delivered by internationally renowned teachers, in a fun, sensitive way and the learnings have been immense. The positive, useful nature of what Eagle’s Wing teach cannot be underestimated. I’ve found these can be applied to handling the everyday stresses of life with ease and contribute towards a positive mental attitude, improved confidence and a happy … Read more

Dear Leo While it is still so fresh in my heart and mind, I wanted to say one more ‘thank you’ for such an incredible journey of discovery last weekend. After sharing in one of your sweatlodge ceremonies, I had no doubt that there would come along another opportunity to work with you…as with all things of nature, the time arrived! Reading the workbook is extending the experience and there have certainly been a few curve balls to navigate since! It really was an honour to be in such a space with … Read more

Dawn and Lorraine My recent experience with the practitioner training has been full and wonderful in many ways. It is giving me the confidence to step out, offer and share this work with others.

I recommend this training to anyone who wishes to simply work with themselves, with loved ones, friends or clie… Read more

I offer my gratitude to you both for all of your hard work this weekend and for sharing so much of your gifts and yourselves with us. You held such a safe, loving and supportive environment for us to find our courage and our own way. I wanted to say so much to you both yesterday during the farewell but couldn’t find the words so I am trusting that you will know anyway.

My experience working with Dawn and Lorraine way surpassed my expectations. This was deeply healing, meaningful and transformational work held in a beautiful space of loving gentleness. Both Dawn and Lorraine bring wisdom, experience and massive love to all that they do. I feel truly blessed to have been part of their wonderful journey. This work will stay with me forever.

Hello, I just wanted to send a little note to say how much I valued last weekend. I didn’t say anything but I really did take part, and really heard some key things for me, and really felt the energy moving in me as well as seeing it flash across the room: amazing medicine, this work… the weekends are definitely lawnmower-esque for me, and I’m loving the difference this work is making to me in my life as well as all my interactions with others… plus some interesting challenges too of course, but… Read more

My heart is full of gratitude, first of all to Helen for knowing that I needed to do this work and introducing me to Eagle’s wing, to Martin for being my constant companion on the courses and becoming my friend, to Chris for being my mentor and jay for liking me when I was not being ‘nice’ I understand that we heal ourselves and help facilitate the process of others healing themselves, but to be held as safely and profoundly through that healing process by such powerful sentinels as Dawn, Lorrai… Read more
