On Connie's Private Teaching and Healing "I was searching for something when I became aware of Connie Caldes. I spoke to her on the phone; we connected on many levels; her wisdom and sharing put me at ease. She studied with Sandra Ingerman from the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, so I put my trust in those facts and I became a client. Connie helped me in my journey by doing a soul retrieval. It was a pivotal event during a very difficult time in my life. I truly believe that the retrieval helped me navigate this period in my life; it also gave me the courage to explore deeper and discover the puzzle pieces of myself. I signed up for Connie's year long workshop. Connie Caldes is a facilitator on the journey of self-realization; with her gentle guidance and instruction, she has helped to ease my way through many transitions. Her esoteric knowledge is imparted with integrity, originality and a depth of feeling for each of her students. The giving and receiving that is fostered in her workshops is a gift to anyone who chooses to spend time discovering the path to become a shamanic practitioner." -Andrea Sobecki, Upstate New York "Connie Caldes is both a healer and a mystic. I have never met her in person, yet she has been able to journey for me, transcending space and time. This does not happen everyday. I highly endorse the humble work that she is willing to do. With her Mohican Grandmother as guide, she is able to retrieve, in symbolic form, what it is we need to know...for the next step of our journey." -Vicki Woodyard, Nurturing the Now "I was privileged to be in Connie Caldes' shamanic class for 2 years. I found her to be knowledgeable and well versed in her presentations. She is very skilled and open interpersonally. Her own healing shines through her work, and her insight into others, including their dreams, is amazing. I highly recommend her for the gifts she brings to others." -J. M. McCarthy, Albany, NY "Connie, I have thought about you many times. Thank you again for all your effort doing the journey-work for me. I think I've been sleeping much better since then." -Diana, London, England "Connie, I just wanted to say Thank You!, Thank You!, Thank You! I so enjoyed the soul retrieval. It helped me a great deal." -J.M. , Lenox, MA | On Shamanic Dream Workshops taught by Connie Caldes and Kellie Meisl "The workshop brought me into a deeply enriched awareness of my dreams and the provocative messages they carry. The exercise in personal mythology was an astonishing experience. You have left me with a new and energetically charged sense of myself. The two of you are truly gifted leaders. We are fortunate to be able to benefit from the rich accumulated wisdom." -Claudia Ricci, Ph. D, author of dreaming maples, Austerlitz, NY "The workshop was highly accessible to people from no experience with spirituality type workshops to lots of experience. Connie and Kellie are brilliant facilitators. They are clearly very knowledgeable and experienced with dreams, comfortable working with one another and skilled communicators. Connie and Kellie are effective in supporting people when the inevitable challenges and issues arise from learning more about ourselves. The workshop participants loved them." -A.
