What Previous Participants (of Wilderness-Based Workshops) Have Said:
"This is dynamic and pioneering work. Beyond deepening my body/nature
connection, I learn a tremendous amount from witnessing Shai work...I
often find myself in awe. As a
somatically based practitioner and wilderness guide Shai inspires me
and helps me see new possibilities for my work both indoors and out."
-- Casey McCarroll, Marin County, March 2010
“Shai is great; very open, soft, sensitive, and creative. And very unintrusive, I almost didn’t notice we were being guided.”
-- participant, Nevada City, October 2010
“Shai is a wonderful human and extremely skilled therapist. He is capable of being precise and clear and soft at the same time. He has the capacity to hold a big space for trauma.”
-- participant, Nevada City, October 2010

"Thank
you for a beautiful time in nature, in an atmosphere of
reflection and healing." -- Tiarre Welsh, March, 2010
"I
really enjoyed the
emphasis, from the beginning, placed on each member's contribution to
the group being important - that something might emerge not only for
oneself but for another in the group - group mind kind of mentality,
functioning as one organism.
I also enjoyed the awareness of the
natural world and our inherent interconnection with it - making space
in the group to include the larger, natural world - giving and
receiving from the environment - nested systems..."
"I enjoyed how present everyone was and
your enthusiasm in hearing about our experiences - really
caring - and then creating explorations from what we shared to deepen
and expand upon our experiences. I appreciated the valuing and use of
intuition in the process, as well as the nonjudgmental and embracing
environment that was created - and the creative play!" -- Arin Mirelle, March 2010
