What I experienced was a gentle release of something that opened me up back to myself. And I couldn't have asked for anything more authentic and more real. And that has taken me, it was two days ago, three days ago, and it has taken me on a journey back to myself where I'm opening to all of these little gifts that I know that I've had but I've just been suppressing, holding back, and it's really opened me up. And there's so much joy. There's so much joy in me. I feel like a little kid in a candy shop because I'm just like discovering myself again. And it's been three days. I can feel something big is coming from this all because of this opening. So it was very powerful. Hi, my name is Candice and I've just attended the [Vādma] group session on Friday night with Clayton in Perth. So my experience was I went in with no expectations and I found the small group was quite intimate and I liked that. I loved the explanation of what we were going through but also about the nervous system. It was very, it was thorough, but it was also easy to understand. So Clayton explained it to us that don't necessarily know much about the biological part of our body. So it was really good to hear that part so that when we were going into it, we didn't have any questions in our minds. It was all sort of already explained and there was time for questions. There was time for answers. And yeah, there was a lot of space for that. For me, it was actually quite a gentle process. And I have come from a lot of trauma, but I've also done a lot of work and I've done a lot of plant medicine. And for me, coming into this was all about the experience and about something new and going deeper again. And that's where it took me without having the expectation of an outcome. And what I experienced was a gentle release of something that opened me up back to myself. And I couldn't have asked for anything more authentic and more real. And that has taken me, it was two days ago, three days ago, and it has taken me on a journey back to myself where I'm opening to all of these little gifts that I know that I've had, but I've just been suppressing, holding back. And it's really opened me up. And there's so much joy. There's so much joy in me. I feel like a little kid in a candy shop because I'm just like discovering myself again. And it's been three days. It's like I can feel something big is coming from this all because of this opening. So it was very powerful. I say trust yourself and understand that we have... When we come to something that's new and profound, there can be a tendency of holding back and saying no to something. But if you feel it in your body, because your body is telling you, well, it told me, this is a big yes. Follow that. Just follow it. And I know for me that this was a unique experience, a profound experience, a deep experience, a gentle experience, a very safe place. I was held. We were all held in a space that I've, like I said, I've done a lot of stuff. I've been in a lot of places. The space that was held was pure. It was beautiful. And I say go for it. Yeah. I feel the space was held for me in a way that I was... I didn't feel pressure. I didn't feel like I had to perform. I didn't feel like I was doing anything wrong or anything right. It just was. That's the purity of it. It felt like whatever came through was something that naturally happened as opposed to, you know, it being forced. And Clayton's the one holding the space. So for me, it felt safe to just do whatever came through. And the way that he, his presence to each and every one of the people was what I was taking away from it as well. The way that he could hold the presence with somebody and make them feel like they are here, they are seen, they are held. And there was no... There was a sense of everyone's the same. We're all in it together. And, yeah, there was just there's safety in that. I feel like there was a lot of people in the group that hadn't done anything like this before, hadn't done any plant medicine. So a lot of people are on different journeys. I feel like this is part of the journey that you could step into at any part of your journey. At the start of your journey, in the middle of your journey, if you've been doing this for 20 years, I just believe that this is one hell of a leap in your journey of discovering who you are and your healing journey, if that's what you're on. I really believe that this is the real deal. I'm also on a journey of healing from sexual trauma, which happened when I was a child, when I was an adult, professionally. And when I saw Clayton's video, I immediately felt like I could trust him, that I could feel safe with him. And to be in, put myself back in that position of being with a professional man and having that closeness, that's part of the safety that I felt instantly. And I want to thank Clayton for that because he's allowed me to be vulnerable and be in an intimate space again without the fear of any added trauma. Thanks.
