APPRENTICESHIP TESTIMONIAL

The thought of escaping the buzz of Eugene was all it took to get me interested in the program at Aerious. I knew my being needed a break from the unnatural energies going on in the city.

After spending time with Mark and Mary, I realized their intuitive nature was refreshing and I wanted to learn more from them. After a few short days of being on the land at YewWood, I began experiencing much emotional release. Feeling the safety of this place, I believe the land reconnected me to my emotional being. It seemed as though I had grown numb. I learned how to feel again from deep within. My emotions ranged from deep sorrow to extatic joy of being alive. Connecting with the rhythmic flow of nature tuned me in to a cosmic rhythm of this existence.

This program is designed for individual needs and interests. I had a strong interest in body meridians. Each day we would work two meridians and study about each. Afterwards, we would prepare whole foods meals to support the organs associated with those particular meridian lines. Being harvest time, we had many fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs to work with. The knowledge I gained about whole foods cooking serves me daily, along with the meridian work. I have strengthened weak organs, have fewer food intolerances and broken a few bad eating habits.

The astrology section was fun and very informative. Mark has a lot of experience and an intuitive nature. His readings are unique and he will tell you what most other astrologers won't tell you. Mark and Mary have an amazing amount of wisdom, compassion, and resources. I have not experienced the intuitive level of healing and consciousness that they follow on their path.

Through time spent at YewWood and Aerious, I came to great recognition of my personal tools, inner knowledge, hidden talents and my creative flare. As the weeks came to an end, my vision of my beginning life became clearer and more realistic.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the almost daily hikes I took through the forest. The forest spirits love to be sung to and if you give them your ear they have a lot to say!!

NAMASTE, Kari
