My 17 year old daughter and I recently attended a BEZA shamanic retreat. We had no idea what to expect. Ultimately we were absolutely blown away by the experience which has had the most phenomenal effect on our relationship. In my wildest dreams I wouldn’t have expected such a positive and far reaching outcome.
My daughter had chronic stomach pains due to stress. We spent a fortune on diagnoses during the last 18 months and since we’ve returned 3 weeks ago, she hasn’t had any pain whatsoever.
I went to the retreat with an often angry and chronically stressed teen. I returned with a calm, happy, positive and loving daughter. Through the teachings, she was able to access her inner wisdom and felt seen and heard while she was there. I highly recommend you attend one of the BEZA’s shamanic healing retreats!
