Ann developed and currentlyteaches continuing education programsfor healthcare practitioners, as well as acancer survivorship program with classeson self-awareness, wellness, and nutrition.
Ann shares with us the followingmessage: “The one word mantra I offer tosum up the Year 3 journey is consent.Consent to be willing to surrender to yourtrue nature and the abiding love thatcreates all. And, in that surrendering,consenting to question and then livebeyond the confines of the ego's stories.Consenting to surrender into a personaland unique relationship with the all-creative power. Consenting to know kindnessand compassion as the foundation of thatrelationship.
“This journey of consent requiresstillness and clarity of motive. Most of all,it requires help. The truth of the quote,‘you cannot be self-reliant on your own,’runs deep. I promise you, none of usdo this alone. Thank God. Visible andinvisible help are always at hand, waitingto be invited—finding ways to get invited,if need be. Sometimes that help has tofind ways to get invited because of ourhuman attachments to misunderstandingsyou know.“
