Have you ever felt as if you are carrying a heavy burden of responsibilities on your shoulders and that the increasing speed and demands of today's dynamic life don't leave any room for you to breathe? I did.
Being a positive, thinking-strong woman, who's happily married, a mother of three loveable teenagers, successful in my job, appreciated by my friends, I was able to juggle multiple tasks, but I was spending a huge amount of energy just to keep my head above water. Though I was accomplishing much, something was missing in my life.

I imagined myself stuck at a crossroads, not knowing which direction to take for quite a long time, looking for something I was unable to define.
Then I heard about Tom Lake through a dear friend. After meeting him, I knew I had found my teacher. Tom is a gifted Shaman. He has proven to me that love and acceptance and sacred reciprocity are a profound truth. At his workshops he creates a harmonious and safe environment, guiding you wisely and gently through each phase.
I consider myself blessed to have participated at several of Tom's workshops.
I have and still am learning to pay attention to my much neglected spiritual side.
Apparently an intelligent and physically competent and healthy woman doesn't need any healing. So, I thought. I was surprised how my healing unfolded. During the workshops, I have been able to safely confront my deepest fears. What makes it so satisfying is to know that I have the ability to overcome my own fears and dissolve my burdens.
Some issues unfolded, only long after the workshop, allowing a different perspective and enabling me to cope, whenever I am ready. This work has been an ongoing process of growth for me.

In between workshops, I was diagnosed with a lump in my breast.
All the horrors of breast cancer went through my head. I was terrified.
Doctors wanted to take a biopsy and wait for the results. With Tom’s help, it became evident the lump was not cancerous. In an instant, I calmed down. It took my doctors quite a while to reach the same conclusion.
During this period, my family and friends were worried sick and I was steady as a rock, trusting completely in what I felt was right. After a few months, much to everyone’s relief, the lump disappeared.
Attending Tom's workshops is about much more than just facing your fears. I now have tools to improve myself, a wonderful opportunity to create meaningful and sincere friendships, and a deeper and wiser understanding and compassion for the needs of others. And it is fun! The joyous, loving atmosphere is heartfelt and encouraging. Amazingly, it has also a strong and very positive impact on everyone around. It's like a stone splashing into the water – the waves expand in ever growing circles until they finally affect the whole pond. Good vibrations indeed.
