Comments from attendees to workshops and programs.

"[For me] Gerry carries medicine in his words. He has made a meaningful impact on the people around him through the way he teaches, writes, and shows up. He brings integrity, humility, and a steady presence that helps others feel safe, seen, and heard to be able to grow. I'm genuinely grateful for what his teachings have added to my life." - SB
"Gerry offers something rare: depth of knowledge earned by walking the path. Our late-night conversations about dragons, ancestors, life beyond death, and the hidden spaces in between expanded my sense of what was possible while grounding me when I most needed it. I could ask him real questions — even 'Am I crazy?' — and trust him to answer honestly.
"He isn't just an older man with life experience; he is an elder. I think eldership is something many of us quietly grieve and deeply long for in our modern world. His steady, patient presence and thoughtful inquiry challenged me in the ways that mattered. 'More heart and less mind' is a teaching I return to often, and it continues to shape me." – NJ
"The depth of our experience of the world is inseparable from the depth of our understanding of words. Language is not merely something we use — it is something that shapes the very contours of our perception.
"Gerry has a rare gift for guiding others into the living heart of a concept. In his presence, a word is no longer a label; it becomes a doorway. And once you have walked through that doorway, you cannot return unchanged. A concept you thought you knew reveals hidden chambers, and your consciousness expands quietly, irrevocably." – DS
“I've known Gerry for many years and have experienced the commitment, skill, integrity, and compassion which imbues his work as a shamanic practitioner, teacher, and counselor. I've learned much from his classes and workshops and have benefited from the guidance and support he has given in private sessions. I am glad to know and work with him.”
– Victoria, Spirit Paths graduate
"As a guide, mentor, and energy healer and shamanic practitioner, you have provided much to all you have encountered and we are blessed to have you in this role."
