I have felt compelled to send you this email, a thought that I would normally ignore. 
Firstly, I must say a heartfelt thanks to both you and Mike for the most amazing
experience I had yesterday.  I had a strong gut feeling all week that my life would
change after Saturday and so it has … .  All my life I have felt “different” and so found
it difficult to fit in with my family, friends and even my husband.  Either I was
defending my different views or shut myself down (certainly something I have done for
the last 2 years).  My experience yesterday has connected me with my spirit in a way I
could never have imagined.  For the first time I feel home in my heart.  It has also been
amazing for me to be with a family of like-minded people who just opening and honestly
love and accept with no judgement, criticism or expectation.  I feel so privileged to be
part of this family and look forward to future experiences - T

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!  What a wonderful Saturday - I have been back to the area everyday since just so I can be with my Red Kite friends, listen to the messages in the wind and soak up the energy. My mother died when I was ten and I can truly say I received more hugs and love in those 5 hours at the lodge than I did in my entire childhood so thank you so much for accepting me into your lodge family - it meant more than you will every know. Isn't it fabulous how the winds of change are bringing 
miraculous changes .. I now have hope for our planet and don't feel quite so alone
amongst the human race. Thank you for leading me to that hope. Lots and lots of love and HOPE  - C

Thank you again so much for a most wonderful experience on Saturday.  I am already
looking forward to the next!  I feel more grounded and rounded as a result.  You both
act as perfect "spiritual parents" to the Lodge - a wonderful balance on either side of
the opening to the world outside, each bringing different qualities of support and nurture to all participants.  Thank you!      -E

Regarding the sweat it was good for me and a very special day indeed. A fantastic rewarding experience - very spiritual, in tune with nature, honouring mother-earth. I see so much beauty around me that it is beyond words. I give thanks and feel so grateful for this. I am a healer and work for Universal Oneness with love and wisdom. I am on a path of serenity right now surrendering to the flow of life. You did a wonderful job leading the whole ceremony in such a beautiful way abundantly sharing your knowledge with us. I feel honoured that you share this and look forward to see you again in January. -L

I felt very safe with Mike and I really enjoyed the way in which it was truly red Indian. The group was good too and it was lovely to meet everyone.  I will be letting people know about my experience.  -M

I haven't had the opportunity as yet to thank you for such a wonderful time at the two
sweat lodges I have attended. I have wanted to do one of these for years, so it was
so wonderful to have access to the wealth of experience that Mike has brought to us in
the UK, without having to get on a plane. Thank you also for your loving support as well
Tilly as I've brought a few friends along with me now and they all have expressed
how comfortable they have felt and how warmly they were greeted. (by both of you)

Braziers Park is such a perfect location for the lodge and has a great energy to it. I
loved the ceremony prior to entering the lodge, and as the lodge door closes and you
are enveloped by darkness and warmth it is almost quite nurturing as you listen to the
breath of those around you and the crackle of the fire outside. I even loved the fact
that I knew the words to most of the songs.. It's odd as I belt out the songs during the
first two sessions, then I find myself quietly listening towards the last two sessions. I
have been such a busy, stressed lass so it's been wonderful to really spend some time
being quiet on those days, kicking my shoes off and feeling the grass beneath my feet,
lying on the grass between the sessions and just having that contact with the earth has
been great. I go back home relaxed and sleepy. So thank you for such a great introduction to this wonderful ceremony...  -L
___________________________________________________________________
I went to on one of these yesterday and I have to say it was truly wonderful. Mike is a very gentle man, at the same time as inspiring. His is the “real thing” sweat lodge and I will be going again and again - M
____________________________________________________________________________
Just a quick note to say that I really got a lot out of the lodge on Saturday their was a lot of love in the lodge which has filled me with much joy and hope for the future I look
forward to sweating with you and Tilly again in the near future. may thanks peace love
and light  -K
____________________________________________________________________________
Had a wonderful experience doing your sweatlodge last weekend - it was a real
challenge but felt very safe and caring. I would love to do it again and my husband
and a couple of friends would like to join me.  -  NG
____________________________________________________________________________
Your wonderful gatherings present deep and memorable experiences of the sacredness
of all things, for which I am immensely grateful. You offer them with such love. Clearly
your union is a blessing to us all. May all the angels and spirit guides be with you on the
15^th..    - E

When the first rocks (the grandfathers) were brought into the lodge welcomed by Mike,
I experienced an incredibly moving sensation, they ceased being rocks and became
glowing balls of spiritual energy, connecting with my very essence. Weeks after that
first lodge attendance a sense of peace and freedom still remains.  - RS
___________________________________________________________________________
I want to thank you both for the beautiful ceremony on new years eve. It really helped
me make some decisions regarding my back problem and the direction of my life.  I
feel strong and confident and know that the course I am taking is the correct one. I
feel truly blessed to know you both and its so comforting to know that there is a place
for people with open hearts to come together.  So thank you!!  - R
____________________________________________________________________________
As to the weekend and the Sweat Lodge with Mike and Tilly, I am proud to say this
was one of the most extraordinary and truly expansive experiences because of the
care and thought taken by these two understanding people. I felt so safe even
when experiencing the greatest discomfort in my personal challenges. I thank them
from the bottom of my heart. It was a joy to see so many people 'jumping with joy',
me included, into round five. Needless to say the experience has continued with 
amazing dreams and an inner peace. Thank you Mike and Tilly - J

I would like to send a big thank you to you both for the fantastic sweat lodge experience on Saturday, I've never felt any thing like it. You both made the lodge an easy and safe environment to be in and I won't forget my first ever sweat in a hurry. I never would have thought that you could meet total strangers ,and within a few hours, form a bound . I am already seeming to miss some of this extended family. I have been on cloud 10 since I got back home and i have woken in the morning with that day on my  mind every day so far. Mike, the way you run your lodge is fantastic and you have my
greatest respect, hopefully there is much more that i can learn from you. Tilly,  a
special thank you for the healing that i received from you that night, I'm sure the car
floated home on the clouds, we hardly saw another vehicle going the same way as us,
and yes i did have my eyes open.      -C
____________________________________________________________________________
Thank you for being so welcoming to myself and A, he was very touched and would like to sweat again as would I. The experiences I have had since the weekend have been huge, I am dreaming again and I have been able to link up with a side of me that has not been  able to surface for a long time. I am learning not to run but to stand still, thank you for helping get to a place where I am loving who I am becoming!     -H

____________________________________________________________________________
I won't forget my day at the Sweat Lodge.  It has taught me so much about myself that I never knew.  Thanks again to you and Mike for all the support and care you gave me to get through it all.   -S

Dear Mike and Tilly, thank you so much for the lodge on Saturday, I felt so connected with it, the energy was great, so caring and loving.     -S
___________________________________________________________________
It is great work that you guys are doing and I appreciate the loving environment you have created for people of all walks of life to come and share in.  I will certainly recommend you to anyone I find interested in experiencing such a ceremony.  -E

Saturday's sweat lodge was a powerful experience and thank you for providing such a friendly, warm!! and safe place for cleansing and renewal. I felt happy to be in such a great group of people and would love to be in touch for future events with wind spirit.
LOVE                -E

I wanted to get in touch to thank you both for my lodge experience on Saturday.
As a first-timer I'd like you to know you created an environment in which I felt both comfortable and safe.  As such I had a very special day and I appreciate your part in bringing that about.           -B
___________________________________________________________________
It was lovely to meet you both and experience the sweat lodge, it was absolutely fantastic, thank you both. we came with no expectations and it completely blew us away. we would like to book for the lodge on new years eve.         -C & T
___________________________________________________________________
Thank you again for an amazing day- It has left me with a warm feeling and many thoughts. The kindness you and others showed was fantastic and whole experience was more than i expected. D and C's gesture of letting me help with the fire was greatly appreciated.    -J
___________________________________________________________________
Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. The day is still shining in my memory. P and I were both enriched by our time with you at Braziers. Your strong caring and guiding presences allowed us to listen to the voice of the earth. I was extremely grateful for the strength and sense of collective support that was offered to me at the sweatlodge as my mother had a very difficult surgical experience on Monday. The anaesthetic didn't work during her eye operation and I felt that thanks to the sweatlodge I could pass on some of the kindness, calm and support that was given to me on Saturday. Perfect timing. Looking forward to meeting you both and the others again. Please pass my thanks on to the firekeepers.     -E
___________________________________________________________________
Just to say thank you SO much for a wonderful day yesterday.  It was such a life enriching/affirming experience.  It was everything and more that I could have hoped for.  We were very tired getting home last night.  We didn't get in until 11.20 by the time we had taken S home. So next time we will probably try to stay over. Thank you for the support and encouragement throughout the whole day. I feel very much that this experience has helped to 'reground' me. It feels as if life experiences over the last decade had very much pushed me off course and that I had become lost and that yesterday provided a bit of a map and compass.  Today has been a very thoughtful day.  Many seeds were planted yesterday.  Truly heartfelt thanks from all of us.    -G

This is R here, who was present at the last lodge held at the Wild Heart gathering, and to which I am most grateful for reconnecting me with my truth and my work.
I was drawn instinctively to do this lodge, and despite my fear and breathing difficulties, found support, gentleness and family in my darkest moments. This I believe was due to the loving care and experience of you both, for the heat and power was certainly amongst the most powerful lodges I have attended. Thank you          -R
___________________________________________________________________
I am writing to thank you for holding such a magical and powerful ceremony in February, It was a great day and I am still receiving the cleansing benefits.     -A
___________________________________________________________________
It was an amazing day shared with amazing people. People with their own stories, their own pain and tribulations. It was an honour to share with all these people and such a humbling experience. Thank you for facilitating that in such a sensitive and spiritual way  - M

I just wanted to thank you, and all involved, for a great day on Saturday, what an experience! If you had told me in the morning that by the end of the day I would be willingly queuing up to hug sweaty, semi naked men and women I would have laughed in your face. What a difference a day makes. I told you in the introduction round that I'm not religious or spiritual but came with an open mind, I can't say that I had a spiritual epiphany in the sweat lodge, but I definitely learnt things about myself, both good and bad. Over the course of the last week I have had time to reflect on those thoughts and feelings and can now work at minimising my negative traits and focusing on the more positive ones. The day was great fun, I met a lot of wonderful people and was accepted without question, which is something I have never encountered anywhere else. The whole experience has left me with a spring in my step and a general feeling of wellbeing. I can't wait to come and do it again, so I look forward to seeing you both soon,    -D
___________________________________________________________________
Have to say that my first experience of the Sweat Lodge was INCREDIBLE – the emotions I went through on that day were like nothing I have experienced before and I found the whole thing just awesome on so many levels and I just felt ‘swept away’ if that makes any sense whatsoever.  Please, please keep me informed of forthcoming lodges and you will see me again as soon as I can get to you! Thank you for a wonderful first experience – I am sure it will be the first of many.   With love and light to you both – to all my relations.       -E

The smallest thing I can do really is to share my experience since the lodge, as the gesture of all the gratitude I feel for being able to be part of it. Since then not only I realized where the basic problem lies, but also found my Guardian Angel it seems:-) Now this morning when I got to work and the usual things started coming up and pushing me down, I realized that there is this buzzard gliding above my head, and he wouldn't leave for quite a while! Have never seen one there before...I felt really touched, as one inseparable part of all the Braziers experience were the Red Kites gliding there everywhere, and it made me feel safer and brought peace in my soul, the same peace I felt at Braziers and the lodge, especially in the moments of the heat and pitch black inside...When I close my eyes now, I can see the glowing grandfathers, and the dance of the tiny sparkles when the herbs touched them...and it is exactly as Kaz said, I took the lodge away with me, and it is warming me up from inside, this little piece of peace which no one can take away from me... I will have the lodge including everything from grandfathers and smudging and sweating to all the people, in my heart, warming it and keeping it in peace...while finding out how can I start to believe that I deserve all these great things:-)

I think this is enough for today, I am sending you lots of love (as I think I am able to give love, but don't believe I deserve it back, how silly, I know...) and blessings and thanks, to you and Mike as well...         xxxP

Good morning. I hope the journey back to Wales goes smoothly. I just wanted to say thank you for yesterday. It was quite a remarkable experience and on the way home C and I were quite euphoric despite being knackered and a bit delirious! It's amazing (and a testament to you) that so many people come to the lodge with such deep and sometimes harrowing struggles that they seek to confront. It made my own troubles feel insignificant in comparison, which I'm sure is no bad thing. But it's also good to know that the lodge is there when hard times do come around. Anyway, you were both incredibly warm and generous and the whole day was fairly magical. I'm sure I'll see you again. Onward like the buffalo!       -R
___________________________________________________________________
A very very big thank you! What a wonderful and magical experience i had at the recent Men's lodge. As you know it was my friend P who recommended coming and I am so glad I did. I had  some idea of what to expect, but after the sweat I was both physically and emotionally drained. I had given my all and now I feel so very much better and things at home have changed quite dramatically. We seem to be back on track and moving forward together. It seems to effect you in so many ways and I know I am a better person for attending.      -A
___________________________________________________________________
What an amazing experience this weekend - words cannot properly express my gratitude to you....

My friend A has been transformed - he joined us as a broken man, but this morning I found him grinning from ear to ear; he said to me it is like the last 6 months of hell he has gone through never happened. I feel inspired to start a local Men's Group - the Sussex Branch of the Broken Warrior Brotherhood! Just putting some material together for it at the moment, and hope to be encouraging as many brothers to Windspirit as possible - maybe we'll create enough critical mass to do a private lodge at some point. In the meantime, I'm trying to get a group together for a December sweat (including camping!).

You have really changed my life, and accelerated my healing journey.  My life and relationship with my amazing wife have changed so profoundly since my first Sweat with you in May. My healing journey really started 15 years ago when I realised how I was destroying myself, and the healing accelerated 8 years ago when I started on my path of discovering Reiki - but the Sweat really caused a massive fundamental shift for which I am so very grateful.

And thank you so much as well for bestowing the great honour on me of brushing the Grandfathers.

You are always very, very welcome to visit S - you will find an open door, open hearts, food, shelter, love and laughter. In the meantime, until we meet again, I wish you both so much love. With many, many blessings, and huge respect and gratitude to you both (and other Windspirit members) for the great, great work that you do.              -P
____________________________________________________________________
Thank you for the wonderfully rich, warm and loving experience. It was a joy to be part of your Sweat Lodge and something I had wanted to do most of my adult life.  I felt truly safe and held and would love to come December 19th if you have space please. Warmest wishes,        -D

Mike and Tilly, I just want to say that it was a beautiful sweat last Saturday. I am so glad I went. The spirits usually take me to the right place, when I have the wisdom to listen them.

Tilly, taking the women aside was so special. Some women aren't happy with being set apart from the men or with being second. They think it puts them in a position of inferiority. But that isn't what I felt at all. A woman's power is very . . . well . . . powerful. Women and men get along much better when that power is respected. It made me feel honoured. There is so much misunderstanding today about a woman's power. We are taught, through commercialism, to use our power to steal a man's power . . . any man!! And men are taught to be afraid of it and to try to steal a woman's power from her instead. All this does is make us foolish, weak and jealous. What you did on Saturday taught me to respect my power and to respect the special power that belongs to the men. It was sacred.

Mike, the singing was special. It reminded me of something. My grandfather grew up on the Navaho reservation, in Arizona I think, and he used to dance and sing for the grandchildren when we were little. I didn't know the words, but the rhythm and the voice were the same. The singing reached into my heart and filled me with a bittersweet yearning.

Your ageless serenity was inspiring, Mike. Your silent stillness speaks of much wisdom. You are a true Elder. You can be sure that I will be to as many Wind Spirit sweats as I can manage.                -L
