The retreat was absolutely great and I felt so comfortable immediately. I learned to focus on myself and be gentle and trust myself. The workshops were perfect and I'm glad Marian was able to tailor them to our group.
-
My retreat experience went above and beyond my expectations. I received so much knowledge from the both of you. I feel a great hope and joy in my soul thanks to you both. I can't wait to continue what I've started. Marian is so intuitive and taught what I needed to hear. And I loved Garrett's knowledge. The beauty of the hikes in the Grand Canyon and on Bell Rock were unlike anything else I've experienced.
-
I think of you two everyday! Your Sedona women’s retreat absolutely changed my life. I now meditate and angel write daily. I quit drinking; I secured a new job; and I am studying to be a counselor. I became a Reiki practitioner last year and I found my life’s purpose and I remembered who I really am at my soul’s core. You guys are truly angels on earth!
-
Western Spirit's retreat was a life-changing transformational healing experience for me. I left with clarity, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose.
-
Thank you for this wonderful weekend marriage retreat! Marian's knowledge and guidance during her workshops were greatly appreciated and we take home some great tools to use in our marriage, and for oursleves individually. The hikes in beautiful Sedona were stunning and an experience we will remember always. Thank you Garrett for your gracious hospitality as our guide and for sharing your wisdom and knowledge of Sedona and the history of Arizona. We will continue to work on our spiritual journey and strive to choose love over fear. Thank you…

When I signed up, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew I was broken and at a low point in my life. I’ve just finished the week with Garrett and Marian and feel so much better. I gave this retreat my undivided attention. I listened, spoke, wept, hiked, and pushed myself. I leave here tomorrow a new man. I have a lot of work to do, but know I can do this . . . and will. They fixed me. I am so grateful!
-
I thoroughly enjoyed my retreat. It was just what I needed at the time. So many blessings in the workshop lessons.

I learned that love is pure, simple and warm. It was such a great week!

This retreat was a great program and way better than I expected. I learned so many important things. The workshops provided so many great points to incorporate into my life.

From my first email inquiry to making my reservation deposit, they answered all my questions. Their website was full of all the answers I needed to make a decision. Marian's gifts and experience with the workshops provided me the perfect opportunity for my personal growth. Garrett's knowledge and insights enhanced the outdoor experiences so much. Saying "thank you" doesn't seem adequate enough for how much my life has positively changed through five days with Marian and Garrett!

On a scale of 1 to 10, this retreat is a 10! I experienced a great sense of renewal - spiritually, emotionally, mentally and of gratitude. Marian's workshops are very deep and powerful, and she provides a very personal involvement of commitment and leadership. I loved Garrett's hikes, knowledge of local history and storytelling. Marian and Garrett "knocked" this retreat out of the park. I feel so blessed to have met both of you and to have shared in such a rich, awakening, heart-warming experience! Thank you for the gift…

Although the combination of spirituality, kind people and nature made the spiritual retreat so special, it was the workshops that had the most impact on me.

Nothing can beat the Grand Canyon tour, but the trip to Bell rock and all the fun activities were my favorites.

-
Have never been happier or healthier. Words cannot express my gratitude. I know your evaluation form only has three rating levels, 1 to 3 (great). I had to rate my week with you a 4, however, for "magical"! I know that my journey through life will be dramatically different because of my time spent with you. I will always send my blessings and love to you!
-
We learned so much and brought back so many things to incorporate more fully into our lives. You helped us remember how near we are to the Source of all things and about the abundance of Spirit.

Many times when we interact with someone, we do not know how we touch or change their lives. This was the moment; the right time, the right place, the right people. The ripple of your touches will echo throughout the universe. Thank you for an awesome week!
-
We had one of the most wonderful and important times here for us as a couple. The significance of what you offer is the greatest value I could ever imagine giving another person.
-
Because of Marian's gifted teaching, I am able to grow and expand spiritually so much. The entire week was a vanilla & chocolate ice cream sundae with a cherry on top! It was so special!
-
I feel that Marian is very gracious in sharing her gifts. She does so in a very gentle and compassionate way, yet straight forward. I really appreciate her sense of humor, also. It helps to remind me that as seriously as I may be taking a situation, there’s a bigger picture to keep in mind, and that it’s good to step back, take some deep breaths, and laugh. My sessions with Marian provided invaluable insight about myself, as well as information that helped me to truly understand two relationships that…
-
I have no doubt about Marian’s intuition and clairvoyance. But even more, she seems to do everything from a place of love and generosity. If she has a mission in life, it is to shine light on everything and everyone she touches. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone in need of spiritual healing or guidance. It will be one of the most uplifting and enjoyable things you’ll ever do.
-
I spent a week in retreat at Western Spirit in 2006 and Marian helped me a great deal after my divorce. I also had the pleasure of recently spending another day with Marian for a healing session. She helped me get to the core of my issues and find clarity on what path I wished to take next. My time spent with Marian helped me to get grounded. Her healing energy and spirit are absolutely wonderful!
-
I appreciate all that you did for me by helping me see my path to happiness and fulfillment. I am so grateful for the spiritual healing and insight. I know now that life is a journey and true happiness comes from within.
-
Thank you for an amazing experience. I really feel much better about my personal situation now and will not try to control it.
-
I am so grateful for my intuitive phone session with Marian. I felt she offered me information that I was previously unwilling to acknowledge. Marian moved this information into my awareness in a way that felt safe and comfortable to me. I knew I was receiving messages very sacred to my personal growth. I feel blessed to have met Marian.
-
I experienced a hands-on healing session with Marian that was so much more than I ever expected. There were some trapped issues from over thirty years ago that Marian connected with intuitively. I could finally see how much they were affecting my life today. I trusted her completely with some very delicate matters and felt safe and comfortable in her care. The session was a key piece to helping me meet my goal to live my life “in the moment” and not be molded or attached to “what was”. This…
-
I find Marian’s CD sets the tone superbly with the nature sounds, her flute playing, and her soothing voice for a peaceful meditation experience.
-
These beautiful meditations open an opportunity to meditate at any given moment. When I find myself in need of settling down and calming my emotions, it’s comforting to relax and have Marian’s calm, soothing voice lead a meditation. I have also very much enjoyed track four, I Create My Day, as a great way to begin my day. I highly recommend this CD!

I really enjoy Marian’s CD. It’s wonderful! The music is great and the five meditation tracks are very helpful, very to the point, and takes me to the center of my heart. This CD gives me a guided approach to meditation, and I really like that.
-
I am now able to slip into a deep meditation very quickly after only a few weeks. Her voice is very lulling and soothing, which is perfect for a deep meditation. Thank you so much!
-
Each time I listen to Marian’s meditation CD, One Breath, One Spirit, my breath slows down, which then helps me to slow down my thoughts. AS I listen and go deeper, my inner guidance becomes more familiar to me. Through each phrase that Marian speaks, one can sense her angelic guidance desiring to be helpful to all. Through the presence of Spirit, one can become transformed through healing and forgiveness.
-
Marian Carol has a real gift; with a velvet voice she gently leads the listener to a safe place of healing, peace, and expansion. I’m glad to know it will always be available to me whenever I need centering and a little help in processing my Soul work.
-
Taking the time to meditate is a challenge for me. Listening to Marian’s calming voice and easy-to-follow steps allows me to take the time for myself, get in touch with my authentic Self, and feel refreshed for whatever comes my way. It’s been the only mediation CD that I can listen to…and the nice part is that it can be listened to in tracks or the whole CD at once. Thank you Marian for sharing your gifts with us.
