"Participating in the Passionate Ease
    Retreat  was a profound emotional and
    physical experience. The small group
    environment provided a safe and
    supportive space for the Mindfulness
    Navigations. These mediations allowed me
    to focus deeply on myself and yet still feel
    completely connected to other participants
    in the group. This setting also allowed me
    to learn about myself through other
    people's experiences which further
    deepened the meditation experience.

    "After returning home from the retreat I was
    amazed by my own abilities to reactivate
    the feelings of inner peace and
    connectedness to "other". I feel like I am
    consistently able to self-soothe and create
    a calm, accepting attitude .  Rather than
    engaging in other people's emotions, I just
    let them express and I am better able to
    listen without judgment. Consequently, I
    can maintain my own sense of balance and
    peace even in potentially uncomfortable
    situations.
and a place where my soul could feel safe, I  
have finally found it in my work with Dr.          
Lawrence Conlan. His approach to the           
spiritually, have helped me rediscover not     
only my joy and my purpose in living, but       
also the truth of my vulnerability and how it    
is just as real and expansive in each and       
every person on earth.

"It is I who have kept myself prisoner to my    
past experiences, but it is Lawrence's            
tremendous gifts, his deep respect for his      
retreat participants; and his endless
compassion that has shown me the path to
freedom and the truth of who I am within this
human experience.

"We are all precious gifts, but we can not      
share ourselves until we are willing to meet    
ourselves more fully every day. Because of   
my time spent with Lawrence, ......
....."I am more aware of myself and the ripples I leave in the water we all
wade in together.  I am also able to allow the water to pass around and
through me without sinking even in the roughest of Tsunamis."
---- Kerstin Caldwell
"I found myself very unsatisfied in practice.  I didn’t know it  at
the time but, having made a commitment to share my gifts
with the world, the level of depth that I was achieving with
myself and my people was no longer cutting it.  Some part of
me knew that I was capable of the greater level of presence
that was needed to help people achieve a more profound
connection to themselves.  I was asking more from my being
and I needed to experience the presence of someone who
had already been there.      

"I have a whole new level of presence while entraining.  I
have access to a level of certainty that I didn’t know was
possible.  Entraining has become far more organic than it
had been.  Of course, the changes that my practice
members are making are phenomenal.  I have a whole new
ability to stay connected to myself which affects all of the
relationships in my life.  But most importantly, working this
way is so, so satisfying."  ----Jay Uecker, D.C.
"Lawrence models and teaches presence and
acceptance like no other. I recently attended a 2-day
workshop in which he expertly combined tools of yoga,
meditation, awareness/navigation, NSA entrainment
and additional group exercises. Each process seemed
a perfect compliment to the next.

"I believe awareness is essential to healing, and this
workshop has definitely deepened my capacity to be
present and consciously aware. Lawrence guided us
to connect with the flow of loving acceptance, and
helped us to use that powerful presence as a state of
being, as a key for moving into aspects awaiting
discovery.

"I've eagerly carried this workshop forward into my life
for Lawrence's example and resources have made it
easy to do. This rather personal healing experience
also serves me as a professional template, and I'm
grateful for both."

    "I am delighted to write something about my experience so that others
    will feel comfortable taking the leap into the blissful embrace of their
    own inner self under your warm guidance, Lawrence.
    "Lawrence creates an engaging and comfortable group setting which is
    conducive to softening easily into one's inner world. With his guidance I
    readily found a way to be present with personal pain which I had been
    fearfully denying. Within the comfort of my own embrace I discovered a
    way to self-sooth and nurture. The work has directly translated to daily
    courage and confidence in facing with dignity the challenges which
    were previously terrifying. Lawrence teaches the tools for independent
    growth, but I never want to miss the opportunity to be in his grace-filled
    presence and to share in the glowing group dynamic, as we all share
    the others' experience with profound appreciation and depth."

"I thank you Lawrence for your
bottomless well of love and patience
that you show to all of us. You provide
a safe and nurturing place for us to
unfold. I owe you a lifetime of
gratitude."
