"I have had such an
incredible journey. Thank you for the work you have done with
me and for sharing your authenticity, impeccible sense of timing,
honesty, trust and integrity. It has been an honor to work with
a person of your knowledge and caliber." "I
have been on at least four trips with Sandra over the last 7
years. They have all been extraordinary. Sandra is a remarkable
guide. She is subtle yet every trip has been a physical and internal
adv enture. The people and places that Sandra introduced me to
were so vibrant that they sustain me in an ongoing way that is
hard to describe." "Thank you for such powerful and wonderful
experiences. We both feel this has been one of the most important
times of our lives...You are a gifted teacher and seer. Thank you
for all the personal work you have done that enables you to be
so present and connected." "Sandra, when my soul
called me to come out and do the full retreat with you, it was
such a blessing. I came full of fear and anxiety, missing and
longing for a piece of me that had been lost. Through your guidance
I pulled out a giant cork that had been stopping up a well inside
me for many years. I found a self-acceptance and self-validation.
I know I will never be the same again. Anyone who has felt that
longing of emptiness should take the full retreat with you. The
training leading up the the vision quest is indispensable. The
vision quest itself is like a favorite topping on a favorite
dessert. This is truly a journey of the self. I anyone is feeling
that call, they should definitely come here. Thank you so much!" "I
followed my heart and stood on the rim of Canyon De Chelly, feeling
a deep pull in my soul. The Canyon welcomed me and I knew I had
come to the right place at the right time, as though returning
to a place that knew me.. Sandra validated and valued that experience
for me, "Everyone on the tour really enjoyed themselves. .. We all left the tour feeling charged and we have you to thank for that. I feel very blessed to have had a chance to meet you and I feel that meeting you was not coincidental. You helped guide me to my purpose there in Sedona for this visit" April, 2004 "Our
walk on the mountain became a mirror of my life. Walking to
its edge it became like the edge of my life.
When we saw the deer, looking into its eyes was like looking
into my own eyes. I felt it want to come to me but it wasn't
able to, it couldn't come forward. And I got it. I'm standing
on the edge of this mountain and I just haven't been able to
go forward in my life. And that deer was me. I needed someone
or thing to encourage or inspire me to go forward. I just want
to thank you for helping me to see how the world is constantly
talking to us if we'd just look."
"My daughter
and I had been making an annual spiritual pilgrimage to Sedona
for a number of years. You were always an important component
in these visits bringing to us fresh insights and inspiration." About Sandra...(in her words) "I founded Crossing Worlds in 1991 to share my passion for landscapes, cultures and spiritual/personal growth inspirations I have experienced. Before that, I was a schoolteacher in a rural, mountain village in Arizona for several years with three summers spent working for the Forest Service. The call of the wild called me to quit my indoor job and become a fire look out in the Sierra Ancha Mountains for 6 months which was a major life turning point. I was partners in a land project, drove a truck in a copper mine for awhile. My inner guidance took me to Alaska to experience wildness. I worked for a time on the Arctic slope coming to know the magic of northern lights, no sun for two months and the moon never setting; and cacaphony of waves of swans, geese and loons arriving with the thawing of the ice. I obtained an M.S. in natural resources planning and became a land manager with the state of Alaska for several years. I have worked for and with Native American groups in Kotzebue (a large Eskimo city where I lived for several weeks), and Anchorage, Alaska as well as for an Apache tribe in Arizona. During the 1980's in Anchorage I sat in on many historic gatherings of indigenous peoples from around the world discussing aborignal land rights as this was the time of the Alaska Native Lands Claims Act. Wild
nature has always been my healer, my best friend. I am from an Arizona
pioneer family and all my life I have explored and gone At Machu Picchu in Peru ancient doorways were activated in ways I still can't define--I experienced breathing with the mountain in a kind of rapture born of deep connectedness to ancient sources of life. A bird showed me the way back to camp when lost in the Alaska wilderness. I absorbed Alaska into my being, I have maps in my mind of the landforms, internalized sacred mountains that nurture me even from afar. I made relationship to Bear in physical encounters and dreamtime teachings. I left Alaska in 1990 soon after I clearly heard the voice of the Colorado Plateau call me back home. Eagle showed me in vision a destiny to work with earth energies that even now, years later, I am trying to understand. Wild places gifted me with deep receptivity and a willingness to live on the edge, to push my limits and to reclaim my inherent indigenous soul. Alchemical gold for the shifting into new levels of soul expression.

"Since
leaving you, and the beautiful land and company you keep, some wonderful
changes in my body have taken place. It is good to feel the icy fingers
of illness melt away and be replaced by that warm Arizona inspired
health. It is good to feel myself three steps more in balance. These
improvements are not transitory. Your guided visions left me with
tangible tools to use in times of need and in everyday life. Your
words, rhythm and sense of place are a valuable gift. I thank you
for sharing it. I would recommend your guided tours, your Soul Journey,
to any one interested in helping themselves."
to
nature for sustenance. I know the Colorado Plateau as a luminous
lightscape that helps unlock vision. The call of the wild led me
to Alaska and Peru where beings from Nature communicated
with me and the earth herself started revealing her vibrational
essences.
