I found this incredibly powerfulā¦thank you for this amazing offering. Your passion and purpose for this work radiates strong through the presentation. It validated so much of how my current circumstances are impacting my experience and wellbeing.

Amazing teachings and wonderful invitation to connect with the wisdom of the body.
The wisdom and humanity of this team! Awesome presentations and demos (so much gratitude for the free encore!). This session got me to dare commenting … heart bow to Sydney, … and to you all!!!
Such a sensitive presentation. A great model for us. Thank you.
loved this presentation
This was an extremely empowering presentation and practice!
Thank you, your wisdom, helped me to understand my circumstances.
Wow, so much wisdom and compassion. Thank you, Dr. Spears. You have given me hope that I can befriend my body and be kind to it. You have also opened my eyes to various expressions of oppression that I was not aware of. I am not a therapist, just an ordinary individual interested in personal growth. Thank you for this eye-opening talk.
I so appreciated Sydney’s wisdom. I’m sure Sydney’s shared insights will enhance my working with middle aged and older women recovering from and living with cancer treatments.
I did the ending exercise about my reconstructed breast. Connected to it in a more accepting, compassionate way. Tits up! š
Powerful!
Thank you.
Moving and wondering
Amazing . Thank you

Why didnāt she have someone to introduce her?
I was wondering the same thing. Being introduced by the conference organizers is a sign of respect, and it bothers me that he wasn’t given that.
Such a deep deep journey through our ‘55% perception’ by body language inside and outside, thank you, thank you, thank you. Rich in content and so comprehensive!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This was truly a wondrous gift that needed to be opened and embodied. <3
This was wonderful. Thank you. As a Deaf woman, I can relate so much to the importance of being aware of body language, but I you have reminded me how important it is to reconnect with my sense of self, as well. Thank you.
Thank you, Dr. Spears for you gentle, but steady, way of inviting a deep form of liberation. Your presence is rich with welcome and invitation to freedom.
