"This Spirit (family) Group has given me a place to be myself and find more of myself. I had been holding my mystical/spiritual life so privately for so long that I didn't realize until I got here how deeply (almost desperately) I needed a safe place in which to acknowledge the beautiful mysteries and miracles in my life. It was like a damn of silence breaking and even when I don't talk that much in group, just the freedom to do so in safety, without judgment, has opened up my spirit and I open to increasing experiences of the mystical in my daily life. Talking and releasing these closely held spiritual experiences in my life has made room for more and I am walking in an abundance of Spirit. As I go through my week, I remember that I am held lovingly in the circle of these brothers and sisters; my fears and obstacles are then met by a 'team of experts' in loving. It's remarkably powerful(and very real) visualization. I am so grateful to go into my week with such a circle of love around me."

"I want to thank you for facilitating the Cooperative Healing Seminar at St. Thomas More. I felt enriched with the concepts you shared. I was particularly blessed by your focus on spirituality and not religion. The many stories you shared touched me deeply because I could personally relate to them. It is a wonderful gift to be able to connect with one on a deep emotional and spiritual level.

The Spirit Family Process makes total sense to me because the essence of who I truly am is spirit. I met with my new Spirit Family right after the seminar and it was an emotionally uplifting hour. Each of the members shared experiences at this first gathering that were encouraging to my own spiritual journey. I have had my Spirit Family in my thoughts and prayers this week and am looking forward to our next gathering."

"My spirit family has helped me to understand the meaing of being one. I have always been unable to share my gifts with others without being embarrassed or worried about what others will think of me. I now bless and share my gifts with an open heart. We each have special gifts that are to be used in love, as I grow in my life path I know that we are here to bless but be blessed as well."

"I opened my mind, opened my heart and left judgement at the door. I have experienced a deep level of trust and love with my "family" and I come away energized every time we meet. It has become a safe haven to share mystical and spiritual experiences, and find that I am not alone in my feelings. It has been a great affirmation of the beauty of the soul in all of us, and has inspired me to spread my love to the world every day."

As I lay my head down and my heart full of darkness, who do I dare tell my feelings, what I saw, what I hear, what I know, ahead of time? Then came my angel Anita who brought me to a room full of angels with Lory at the helm. Within days my head stood tall towards the sky, my heart opened with a warm bight light, full of Lory's teachings,,,finally a place to share my life, a new life. Thank you Lory. Now I smile everyday just thinking of our group and the love you taught us. GET OUT AND SHARE!  THE WORLD IS WAITING!

"Lory's seminar gave me a new dimension of personal awareness of my goodness, worth and mission through experiencing God's presence, truth and love."

"During the course I felt enlightenment, an awakening that was ready to be exposed. As I left the session in August with a feeling of peace and anticipation for the next session I had an amazing sensation. Standing through the door to the outside I was enveloped by a warm, almost tingling sensation. A thought raced through my mind, 'I am walking so close to Jesus he is all around me.'  The sensation lasted 30-40 seconds and left me feeling peaceful and experiencing sheer delight."
