"I experienced Sierra’s Boot Camp for Goddesses as an exceptionally well designed workshop – the beauty is in her ability to intuit the needs of the participants and adjust the workshop whenever appropriate. I thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed every part of the workshop – including sweating and breathing with occasional groans and moans and some tears – but always surrounded by her gentle but powerful spirit. Her workshop offered me the first sweatlodge experience which was profoundly moving and how could it not be – 22 women together, singing and drumming – what an awesome experience !! But it was not all sweat and tears, there was lots of laughter, good old fashioned belly laughter !! "

"Sierra has seemingly interminable knowledge about how to help women 'be women.' She herself is challenging, compassionate and radiantly confident, a model of how to balance the warrior and goddess energies women have. I simply learned a ton! My eyes were opened to heretofore invisible worlds and their importance to our daily functioning."

"Over the past seven years,
three in particular, I have dealt with an extremely toxic person
in my work situation. I have never approached this situation in
any other way than for what it was. Upon returning from boot camp,
I realized that this person no longer needed to be in this situation
poisoning those around her. She was in her job for 15 years, but
she was constantly creating brushfires and bringing down the energy
with her negativity. I terminated her employment. It was a fairly
nasty parting of ways, but I have never been more clear, courageous,
or justified in my decision. The next day, I felt as if a weight
had been lifted. Not only that, but I purchased sage and cleansed
the office the next day of the negative energy. I feel a certain
lightness that I have not before experienced. My whole staff feels
liberated, light, and happy. I look back and try to assess what
had changed. The answer is me. Without boot camp, I would not have
had the clarity or the strength to make this difficult decision.
I would not have believed in me or my goddess power without the
forum that you put together. For this, and for so many other things
that I have yet to name, and to claim, I thank you.
I look forward to more discoveries. Blessings to you, P.S. My two boys walk around saying, "Claim your space. It is your birthright!" :)" - Amy CEO/MOM |

"You are an excellent instructor, dynamic, feminine, not too tough but not a pushover - in effect you are the embodiment of all that you were teaching us (as if you didn't already know that). I think so many women go too far when they try to be tough or assert themselves. By being attractive and feminine yet strong you really show us by example how to become goddesses." |

"What an unforgettable experience I enjoyed at Boot
Camp for Goddesses® last week. It's like "coming home"...returning
to a body, a soul, a spirit that got lost along the way in
a marriage, through motherhood, in trying to keep
a career and dealing with my illness. Thank you for putting
together a program that speaks gently and firmly to all of that
we are as women and all that we can be for ourselves and others."

"I've already told my girlfriends
that they must do this...And already I think this is helping my
marriage more than all the self help books and couples workshops
we have done...! So thank you. What you have created is truly
unique and special and so rich with gifts." - Debbie

| Rejoice / Celebrating women |
"The Boot Camp for Goddesses® is not what you
think, or at least it wasn't what I thought it would be. I imagined
a physically grueling obstacle course of running, weight training
and competing. I was worried that I would fail miserable and
look like an idiot in front of the others, especially since
I hadn't exercised in ages. I couldn't have been more wrong.
The boot camp is all about what's right with you, not what's wrong with you. Rather than exhausted me, it relaxed and invigorated me and reminded me to take better care of myself.
Don't worry if you are not an avid exerciser or yoga expert. I assure you that you are no less limber than I. In fact, a football lineman is more limber than I am. But it didn't matter. It was about breathing, relaxing, listening to your body and refocusing your life priorities. Indeed, rather than worrying about the size of my stomach, I forgot about my shortcomings altogether.
It was a week of celebrating women and being surrounded by other women who understood how hard it is just to survive the week with the many hats we wear on a daily basis. People reached major life decisions while we were there, such as ending a marriage or re-commiting to make a marriage survive. Quite simply, it was an oasis of calm and restoration in an otherwise crazy and draining world.
My favorite parts were the mountain hike, the morning of
silence and the afternoons spent doing yoga on a fur mat while
surrounded by mountains and blue skies. Oh yes, and the food
is amazing too!
