“Today’s session helped me connect with my deep & calm core.”

Margaret

“Looking forward to next month. Even when it’s challenging for me, deepening my own inner work through these monthly circles is so worth it.”

Judy R

“i am amazed how far you have come since i first met you some years ago (is it around 5 now?). you really have connected with the core of the wind shamanism you brought back to life then and are flying with it now! so much inspiration.”

Sandra S

“I've loved the ones I've been able to do. I've longed for real time connection with fellow seekers. Thank you so much for holding these virtual gatherings in which we can share.  ”

Wachian W

“While working outside, surrounded by woods, I was trying to locate a water leak in the lines supplying our camps. I stopped in an open area because I thought I heard running water. As I followed the sound and the energy, I noticed the leaves of one tree moving in the wind, even though none of the other trees were moving. The sound of the leaves and the running water seemed to become one. I followed it up the dirt road toward the tree. As I got closer, the sound grew louder. When I reached the tree, the wind slowed, and just behind the neighboring cottage was the water leak. The wind and the tree had led me directly to it. From my heart, I thanked them both. Thank you, Renee, for introducing me to this remarkable way of working with the wind. WindWork® has become a meaningful addition to my work as a shamanic practitioner.”.”

“The journey was deeply helpful. I am healing something around what it means to be a woman in relationship, and the wind brought me a clear teaching. I am very glad I attended the class and had the opportunity to meet Renee. I also read Winds of Spirit and enjoyed it very much. I know I will continue working with the wind. Just last week, the wind blew through my house while I was speaking with a neighbor, slamming the door behind me and locking me out. It happened twice in two days, although nothing like it had occurred in all the decades I have lived here. I feel certain the winds are speaking to me. Renee does wonderful work.”

Not What I Expected, but Exactly What I Needed

“I had never worked with the winds before, and this was the first live online class in which I had participated. I appreciated the honesty of the discussion, the real emotion, and the respect held within the group. The journey gave me an opportunity to revisit parts of myself I had neglected. I had been swept away by the constant onslaught of news, politics, war, and environmental crisis, and had lost contact with my core and my spiritual practice. Through the North Wind, I rediscovered my freedom. In Greek, the root of the word for freedom, eleftheria, carries the meaning of going and moving. The wind helped me reconnect with movement as part of my ancestral truth and reminded me that travel expands both the mind and the heart. I left the class feeling more connected to myself, my roots, and the wisdom I carry.”

Carmen P

“After just a month of Wind Work I was able to make a life changing decision that I had been dreading for years... the wind just took me on a spin and I never looked back. Since that first leap I feel a peace and rest, my life will unfold with the help of the winds. I am in awe how strong this work is, in awe with what Renee and her assistants can teach by example. Trusting the winds to guide me through calm and stormy times"  ”

Raven Keyes

“Thank you for bringing the Wind Work into the world. I know how much courage it takes to be a trailblazer, and I celebrate you! Honestly, Renee, this work is sooooo challenging for me, but it’s worth every bit of effort. I love it! I feel like the sorcerer’s apprentice, and that is just thrilling! 💫⚡️”
