What an adventure you’ll have!
“Mary Welch is a dynamic leader who brings knowledge, caring and sensitivity to all of her retreats and monthly Serendipity Circles of which I have had the joy of participating in for over the past 12 years. Shannon Poppie has been a dear friend and teacher, and the Vimala alphabet I’ve learned from her has changed my life. For 9 years, I’ve begun each morning with soothing music and the sacred practice of writing the letters—it brings balance and peace to my day. What an adventure you’ll have with Mary and Shannon, whose wisdom, warmth, and laughter make learning such a joy.”
