"Gunaatsk - I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you
for the seminar you put on at the Songhees long house
on Wednesday the 13th. Your openness and honesty when
presenting this course on our Aboriginal peoples touched
me, and has allowed me to open the door on my own personal
prejudices and re-evaluate the myths and misconceptions
that were told to me at a young age when these teachings
were accepted without question. Although I never had the
honor of meeting your mother prior to the seminar, it
was evident that her skills and love for teaching is alive
and well within your own teaching abilities. Thank you
once again for allowing me the privilege to see inside
your world and your rich culture." - Mr. Jeff Norton,
Senior Deputy Sheriff
"I
just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the
seminar that you gave at the Cariboo Fire Centre June
27th. We all read in the newspapers and magazines about
the effect contact has had on the First Nations but it
did not really strike home until yesterday. By speaking
from the heart about your personal experiences it struck
a chord in my heart and for that I must thank you. Please
keep up the good work it does make a difference."
- Ms. Gette Rosk, Dispatcher

HEALING SESSIONS

Matt
Vickers conducts these sessions himself. The
sessions have evolved from the teachings he received
while attending a comprehensive treatment center in
Wickenburg, Arizona.
The session is based on the personal healing path
of Matt Vickers and his family after attending this
treatment center in 1992. The foundation for
this session is "Healing the dysfunctional family."
Professionals believe that the dysfunctional family
is the route cause for the "addictive personality." |
