Shamans journey to the spirit world, retrieve the lost part, and reintegrate it into the client’s...

Mental Toughness for Women in the Workspace (Virtual)
I don't always feel I can assert myself in the workplace, especially as a woman. However, this class gave me the tools I need to be able to not be afraid to speak up or to ask questions on the job. Lisa was a great teacher, direct, open and very kind. I mentioned this class to a friend, so I hope she is able to take it. I would recommend it to anyone who who either feels less than confident about talking to a supervisor or a co-worker, or to someone who is on the right track and would like more pointers. -

I was looking forward to each night and happily remember feeling alive and connected in the group process. -
Playing it Real: Boosting Your Social Confidence
This program have made a huge impact on my life. I'm really not just saying that.The way you've shifted my mind and thinking which has always been in a state of fear, the way these classes helped me realize how I'm not alone and how I've already come so far from the past few years, and the surprising amount of so many takeaways I've had in such a short amount of time, have made a pivotal change in my life. I take away from this program so much and would love to be a part of more of your classes or anything you are involved in. I know I speak on behalf of everyone in the class that you've helped us in more ways than we may even ever know. Thank you for everything. -

Mind, Mood and Happiness
This was my first course with Course Horse. I was optimistic and looking forward to this day after reading the course title and description. I paid a babysitter for the day to care for my 3 little ones. I reserved my Uber early to make sure I was on time. The facility is beautiful! The gift/book shop cafe is so well kept and cozy. The actual workshop started ok. I was disappointed to see that there were only six other women registered for this course. The instructor began his lecture, reminded me of my study hall college days. I took out my pad and tried taking notes, but found it very difficult to follow. First, the presenter just seemed to be rambling on and sidetracking. In addition, the street noise was unbearable as the windows were kept wide open. The instructor then began a 25-minute guided meditation, which was good. However, the lights were on. I’ve meditated many times, but never with the lights on. We then spoke about our meditation experience for about 20 minutes. Then again we did another 25 minute meditation. This did not make sense to me. We then went to lunch and came back to an extremely dense 15-slide, or so, PPT which the instructor read to us word for word. I have 2 masters and have been a teacher for over 16 years. I felt like I needed a PHD in neuroscience to understand this presentation. He went over every minute detail of the brain’s composition. It was impossible for me to process all of this. The final portion was a 40 minute meditation. I could not take it anymore and left before commencing. The presenter was clearly knowledgeable; however, there was a huge discrepancy between the course description and the actual workshop. Aside from the first meditation, I do not feel that I gained practical knowledge that I can apply to my life to improve my mood, mind and overall wellness. I’m very disappointed. I’m out $150 for the course, $120 for childcare, $60 for transportation and I lost a day with my family. -
