Testimonials:
"It profoundly influenced the course of my year to take the time in a sacred communal manner to really examine the narrative that was the previous 365+ days of my life. This workshop had my full attention as the exceptionally grounded facilitators Deborah Eden Tull and D. Miller, provided the tools and generated the space for me to creatively focus on setting my core intention for the coming cycle of seasons. I would recommend it to anyone who could benefit from the support of community in pushing the boundaries of their potential reality. Many blessings to Project Butterfly and Deborah Eden Tull for this evening. 20•E•11 is right around the corner. I’ll see you all in the river. Goddesspeed." -Baza Novic :: Evolver LA, Connnectar


Ever since 2009 when I first took this workshop my years have been solidified with intentions that have manifested to my liking. I taveled to Kathmandu alone, I have lost weight, I have a new partner in my life...just to name a few. Because of the simple questions and coaching offered I have been able to visit *tenderly* the dark places of nonmanifestation (from the previous year) and crack light onto it for the new year. This workshop has helped me to take action! -Lynn Elishaw
