I joined this church in April 2022, and have seen my life change for the better. I attended a ceremony in May 2022, and have noticed that my symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD have left me. Due to a significant trauma, I approach things very carefully, and I really checked this church out before I felt comfortable having a ceremony with them. I feel blessed to have experienced such a loving and safe ceremony!!! Gervais, who is also lovingly called Mama Bear, takes her role seriously as the leader of this church. My experience of her is that she is a person who received a great healing herself, and has now dedicated her life to bhelp bring that healing to others. She has trained, and continues to deepen her skills, with Shamans. She has a beautiful, loving, and welcoming presence for all who come seeking healing. I find Gervais to be humble and invested in supporting people who come to the church. She is open to feedback and willing to adjust things as needed. In my ceremony in May, I was experiencing the release of a significant trauma from my body. It was an intense experience, and at one point I was struggling. Gervais was right there energetically working around me. She touched my arm and whispered, “I love you.” I think spirit guided her to do that, since it was the turning point in my release. That action allowed me to let the love in that I had been incapable of feeling previously. As I felt the love in the room surrounding me, I felt the shadow of the trauma leave my body for good. I have no words to express the gratitude and love that I experienced in that moment. I released a trauma that I had been holding for 30 years, and I will be eternally grateful. In that moment, I experienced a flood of love that permeated the room. I felt it in the musicians, the volunteers, and everyone present. It was a life changing moment for me. I am now off my antidepressants, and I no longer am suffering from depression or anxiety. I recently attended another ceremony and released some long standing blocks in my confidence. I am currently moving forward with a new business and will be involved in supporting the church. This church has changed my life, and I now want to support it in bringing healing to others. I can’t express my gratitude enough!
