Spiritual Counseling

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!

The combination of workshops and outdoor activities was perfect and so beneficial to me.  The workshop lessons were eye-opening and given with love.  Marian’s presentation of the workshops was spectacular and very beneficial for me.  I enjoyed all the beautiful outdoor activities, but the Grand Canyon was the most memorable.  This retreat met my expectations on everything.  I would highly recommend Marian and Garrett.  Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

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.

The retreat was so much better than I expected. Marian is an excellent, very knowledgeable facilitator who truly cares. Garrett’s knowledge of the area and local history makes him an excellent guide who is very friendly and considerate. I learned to take better care of myself to bring more joy into my life.

Thank you for an amazing experience. I really feel much better about my personal situation now and will not try to control it.

Thank you both so very much. I tried not to have any expectations, but you more than exceeded all of them! Marian is a wonderful teacher and presents everything very well. I enjoyed Sedona’s outdoors and Garrett’s commentaries. This week I learned to breathe, to meditate and to follow my intuition.

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 session was a life-changing experience for me!

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.

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 of yourselves. I will always be grateful.

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 otherwise remained painful and made no sense to me. On top of offering this insight, Marian also gave me some tools (well, actually made me aware of what I can do on my own from within) to help keep me in a peaceful and calm place. I am so grateful for how she has helped me in ways that words just can’t describe.

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.

Marian & Garrett make a great team. The workshops were amazing and we liked the small group. The Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock hikes (and summit) were stunning. We really liked the “Choosing Love over Fear” workshop and learning the A, B, Cs of awareness, breathe and communicate. We immensely enjoyed the retreat and it was so much more than we expected.

I came to the retreat broken and left healed! You healed my heart. My sincere gratitude to Marian for healping me release old emotions which were holding me back. I am much lighter and happier now. I loved the walk along Oak Creek; it was so calming. Marian and Garrett are such a beautiful team. Thank you for helping me change my life!

It was an amazing experience and I am so grateful for everything. I felt very safe in all the workshops. The outdoor experiences were wonderful and the scenery was gorgeous. The retreat exceeded my expectations by 100%!

I would highly recommend this to others. It really opened my eyes and changed my heart. This week was a blessing and I feel like I’ve taken a huge step in my spirituality. I have a new and more positive outlook on life. All the activities were great fun and made me feel closely connected to nature. Everything was absolutely beautiful and refreshing.

We would highly recommend this retreat for anyone wanting to stengthen their relationship with their partner and themselves. It was very enlightening and reminded us of the many things to do to enhance our relationship. Marian’s workshops were very safe, organized and engaging. Many thanks from the bottom of our hearts! Garrett was very knowledgable and his history and stories and made the ourdoor activities fun. The climb up Bell Rock was safe, fun and awesome with Garrett’s leadership. This retreat was amazing and so much greater than we expected!

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!
