Relationship Revelations Retreat

PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK & COMMENTS

Catherine and Darren Cole, who attended a recent Aziza relationship workshop report: "We are doing great! We got so much insight into our selves, each other and our communication from attending the workshop! It's made a real difference in how we feel in general and relating to each other. Thanks so much for your guidance!"

" Thank you- I found it insightful because you facilitated in a way that helped us discover our own answers."

"I would return to this workshop again and recommend it to my friends."

" Laila is heaven- sent."

"The most valuable insight was understanding the "wall" between my daughter and myself. Understanding my own relationship model as a parent and child."

" What stands out are the patterns between my relationships and the unintended symbols and patterns that were revealed through my unconscious ( in the artwork)."

" This workshop helped me become more aware of why I relate to others the way I do."

" What stands out is the amount of stuff that can be gleaned from a simple artistic creation."

" The most valuable insight is that my past is still affecting my present."

" I learned a great deal about my unconscious patterns in a safe & creative environment. Thank you Laila!"

" I learned more than I thought possible. Most valuable was the realization of how others perception can be totally opposite of what I am trying to convey."

" What stands out in the therapeutic process discussions is the links between family, other relationships and my current relationship."
