Excellent presentations, and very informative! It would be great if there was a certificate program, or Master's degree level on the topic. I would be interested in pursuing a degree in such a field. It is much needed and would help Allopathic practitioners such as myself to meet a need within our communities to bridge this gap.

I really enjoyed this online course. Everyone involved was super humble and informative. I feel like I almost felt the energy from all healers through each video. This was extremely rewarding and knowledgable for me and I am nothing but happy to have been a part of it. Keep doing what you are doing, you are a inspiration! Thank you.

These classes are vital to every human on the planet. It is this type of knowledge that connects us to our past, to our spirituality to holistically improve mankind and the world by healing from the Ancestors and putting us all on a positive moral pathway.

The need to purchase two of the instructor's own books was not clear to me until I had enrolled. This seems unethical - the course may be free but not unless you pad the instructor's pocket. My initial impression was that the course was very amateurish in its structure and materials. I'm not sorry to have dropped out.

Looks like a good course but I cannot purchase the required texts because they are not available. Too bad. I will be dropping the course because of that.
