I had been listening to Pema Chodron cds and reading her books for years. Although, when I tried…read moremeditation, it was extremely difficult for me. I enrolled in a Level 1 class (called The Art of Being Human) at Tamalpais Shambhala, after moving to Marin. The kindness and warmth of the teacher and volunteer staff was a breath of fresh air. The people were so genuine and real. It inspired me to take a book class and I found I loved hearing what others had to say about the teachings and applying them to their lives. Although it was hard for me at first, because I am not the most comfortable in groups, I found that I could make the teachings more real for me by studying them with others. I began to see life in a different way. Finding this community was such a gift and a relief. I wish that for others - that they could connect with people from the heart and have these precious teachings - this precious wisdom - in their life. That they, like me, could be taught about this "discipline of gentleness" to oneself (so important) and to others. Meditation is now a different exercise for me, since now I realize that meditation is a time to practice this "discipline of gentleness" - a time of non-judgement, warmth, and kindness - so that these may be carried on to the rest of life. -Erinn

Mettacine is a beautiful spiritual and educational community run by Holly Baade. I have been having…read moreweekly spiritual coaching and healing sessions with Holly for 10 months now and I can easily say she is the real deal when it comes to a shamanic healer. The proof is in how much I have grown over the last ten months. I have gained so much self-understanding, self-love, self-acceptance, self-worth, confidence, spiritual growth, and so much more. The most significant thing I'm discovering is my own soul and highest potential.. She also teaches me the tools to carry on with this journey on my own some day. She is caring, present, and a strong guide who isn't afraid to go the healing distance with you. She was able to help me when so many other shamans and healers could not. I can't tell you how grateful I am. Her heart is truly in the right place, and she deeply cares for her friends, family, community, state, country, and world. She also runs a Waldorf school that is receiving rave reviews by parents for being educational and nurturing to children in ways that public schools fail. If you are looking for a compassionate and strong healer, teacher, and mentor, look no further.

The space is very comfortable and approachable. Nothing feels overwhelming. The app that they have to sign up for the classes is very easy to use. The classes are offered at the perfect time to fit with my work schedule. The prices are very reasonable which has made it possible for me to be able to join. It feels more than just a yoga studio it's more of a community. Even the other people who come for the classes are very nice and welcoming too. They have other events and things to be involved with beyond the yoga classes. Everyone is passionate about what they are doing. So far it's been a lot of fun and I would highly recommend this place!

Shannon is a wise and sensitive soul…read more My doctor referred me to Shannon to help me better handle life with a chronic medical condition. From our first session, Shannon approached me with kindness and genuine curiosity. During our time together, she guided me into the inner reaches of my body and mind with patience, openness, and compassion. I had never tried hypnotherapy before my sessions with Shannon. In fact, I went in as a skeptic, but I found Shannon's approach to be powerful and grounded in deep truths. More insights were revealed to me in my couple of months with Shannon than I'd uncovered in the combined years of talk therapy that I've done in the past. Forget what you think you know about hypnotherapy, and take the leap. With Shannon, you're in good hands.

I initially went to Shannon with the intention of working through the physical, mental, and…read moreemotional challenges that come with Long Covid and chronic fatigue. This was my first time doing hypnotherapy so I was a bit nervous to start, but Shannon did a great job explaining to me the process of hypnotherapy and listened intently to what I wanted to work on. After doing a series of sessions with her, I have noticed myself feeling less weighed down by the feelings of sadness and frustration that were so constant for me, and instead moving towards happiness and living the life I want to live. I feel happier day-to-day and more resilient on my hard days. Ultimately, working with Shannon has changed my perspective on life and allowed me to connect with parts of myself I was not even aware of. Shannon is the real deal!

I had always struggled with developing a regular meditation practice. Janell guided us through gradually building the habit, and she gave us some easy tools to fall back on when we struggle or when life gets to busy.

I highly recommend this course to beginners and experienced practitioners looking to solidify their meditation practice.
