" I love nothing more than feeling so deeply connected
and peaceful amidst the entire range of experience."

"The retreat was way beyond my expectations.  I had
given up on yoga, and the positions I learned with
you were simple, but powerful. My body felt like
there were new possibilities the next day.  

"I'm singing to the cat, eager to get outside, running
very entertaining dialoges with my inner Bubba,
deeper sleep, food choices easier, less pain, more
joy,

"Thank you. You are a gentle and masterful teacher."

Hi Lawrence;
"You are truly wonderful. The strength of your desire to have
us all get the truth that you experience!
A no-strings offering of what is! This weekend I got it, got how
sincere and innocent you are in wanting
this for all of us. Years of mistrust are finally melting
away...nice, really nice.

"I especially want to thank you for the several very clear
'suggestions' you made to me. One I've been
using all day today is seeing my pattern of negative self-image
and self-pity as just 'taaaaalk...'
"Such compassion for How Hard I've been 'trying' then arises, and I cry, and feeeeeel. Oh my
God, and that almost everyone there at the workshop saw this in me.....and this time it felt
almost like a relief that they did. And you in there reminding me not to then go and make a
'should' out of being open, etc.  --Judy Sheeks  Boulder, CO.
Dear Lawrence,

Thank you so very much for an amazing  journey in
the exploration of Self.

I appreciate your ability to hold a space and make
that space safe and nurturing for us all.  I feel truly
blessed to have met you and to have this
opportunity to work with you

Dear Lawrence,
I got what I wanted: to embrace my humaness.
I feel your teaching brought so many points of learning/teaching
together to touch me in such a whole way, like the embodiment of
our emotions in our posture and mostly your openess to the flow
and your channeling of the flow through you to us. . You are a
beautiful reflection to me of what I am becoming. I thank you so
from the bottom of my heart to open me up to embracing myself
so I can embrace others and continue with my work. Your retreat
was truly spectacular in the way it touched on each point of
awakening, it opened me up in a way I have been "striving " for. to
my own awareness of wholeness which includes all of me.
I am now at work at the hospital, &  including myself while I am in
action is such a key to how I want to work. Thankyou.
Your friend,"

2 months later....The opening that happened for me at your May retreat continues to grow. I was
very moved by your teaching, by the person you have become through your growth, how you taught
us and the methods you used. Your use of spiritual teachers and teachings in a process that holds
emotions or whatever "is" is very powerful. I have felt stuck for a long time. I have been to workshops
focusing on emotions and I have benefited from NSA and I have felt pieces missing; this piece but not
that piece or that piece but not the other one.
At your workshop it seems that many of the pieces I look for in my life were there together and there
was an effortlessness, a flow. I attribute this alot to the space that you are in, open and flowing and so
kind.
