As a woman seeking to live an abundant life, I stepped into Decloacking open to discover something new.  Through this week-long intensive experience, Naomi created the space for me to consider my life differently.  I now know that when I allow the stories of my past to fall away, letting go of my intellect’s ramblings on relationships, situations, rules of acceptable and not, I am left with my breath.  And through my breath I connect to the life force that I AM within the device of my body.  The program was moving beyond words and Naomi was a powerful presence through our waves of tears, laughter and everything else.  As a yoga instructor with much awareness of body, mind, and spirit, the “decloacked” me explores being the life force that I AM on a whole new level.  I no longer seek an abundant life, I AM abundant life.

Naomi, participating in Decloaking & Living Authentically this past September was an experience of a lifetime.  The personal transformation I experienced in the presence of others was profound!  And the transformations continue on…  Unlike the many training sessions & skill-based learning experiences I have had over the years, the Decloaking experience was the catalyst for change, growth & transformation on all levels… in my personal relationships, professional career as a mental health clinician, as a parent & spiritually.  Nothing has been more true for me than the declaration by Louise LeBrun that the Wel-Systems approach is a way of BEING!  It has lead to so many insights about myself & my world.  I will be pursuing more Wel-Systems experiences without question.  And I look forward to engaging in another week-long intensive with you, in particular.  In your presence, I have come to know so much more about myself & I firmly believe that your willingness & ability to tap into your own inner wisdom has become the invitation for me to do the same.

There is SO much more to write, Naomi!  I just re-read this & realized I didn’t even touch on how much more LIFE there is in my life, since decloaking!  I feel connected to myself in a way that has never previously existed.  I recognize when I am being caught up in moments of habituation & can chose something different for myself with clarity that never previously existed before.  For me, the Wel-Systems body of knowledge unifies so much of what I hold to be true about myself, how my experiences are created & how to create a meaningful life, breath by breath.  Nothing I have read about, studied or experienced, prior to Decloaking, has been able to do this.  I believe there is a collective awakening occurring on Earth today & I am so thrilled & committed to be a part of it!

Until our next conversation, may love & light be yours, Ella-jean Schatzmann

WOW.. I find it difficult to put to words… the experience created on the beautiful mountain top has given me the gift of coming home. I was not nor ever have been crazy. The glimpses of me that have been seen and felt over many years are now understood and welcomed. Not shut down and locked away but accepted and known for the truth of myself. I feel playful and curious once again. I am manifesting the women’s group that feels perfect and is perfect for me. It is such a joy evolving with such a magnificent group, that as life is, is ever changing and ever growing.
Thank you,

Five weeks ago, I ventured to the top of what was jokingly called Witch Mountain (due to the lightening storm on the first night) where Naomi faciliated Decloaking.   At the beginning of the week, I kept asking permission to use the washroom, make tea, etc.  This was my life, always asking permission, in case I inconvenienced someone else.  I also was good at quoting an author or speaker, for I felt their words carried more weight than mine.
As the week went on, I realized I was a person of passion and worth- just for drawing breath gave me that right.  All through my life, my worth was based on what I accomplished.
Naomi helped me realize my behaviors were not good, bad, right, or wrong, but genius in how to cope with living “inside the box”.  By the end of the week, I renamed the mountain to “Magic Mountain”, for that is what this week does, it can totally transform your life!!
I am no longer afraid to say or do what I want.  I am showing up and speaking up in my life!
Thank you, Naomi, for this life changing week.

Before participating in Naomi’s “Decloaking and Living Authentically” Experience my life (to me) seemed very stressful, hectic and out of control.  I seemed to be sick all the time and every few months I’d get a cold that would turn into some kind of infection, requiring antibiotics.  My body was in chaos.  On the outside I was cranky and tired all the time, constantly arguing with my husband and talking of ending my marriage.  I was very sad and confused about how I ended up in such a dark and lonely place.  I was desperate to fix myself and find happiness so I could be a better mother to my two young children.

Through Decloaking I learned about a different way to see my life.  I came to the realization that I was not broken and didn’t need fixing, the context in which I viewed myself was simply incomplete. I now know that evolving towards the wholeness of all that “I AM” is my purpose in life.  I now know I’m a work in progress, moving through the world as a quantum biological being, growing and evolving as my body processes all that I experience along the way.  I’m on a journey of self discovery and self evolution where I focus on the now, my breath and relax into each experience (presented as information in flow in my body) and trust myself, my inner truth to lead the way.

As I began to explore my life through this new perspective I came to discover how much of my darkness I “made up”.  Yes, I created the chaos in my life – not my husband, not my parents, not my job…me.  I now have the courage to claim what is mine – good, bad, pretty, ugly – and once I claim it, I can change it.  Through Decloaking,  I learned to claim my own experiences as mine and to explore how my body responds to my experiences of the world.  No one makes me feel anything, I choose to respond and what goes on inside me is mine. I’m much more aware of myself and my responses to the world around me.  It is all about me and because it is mine I can change it.

Sure I still have my moments of fear, frustration, anger, confusion, etc. but they do not escalate into overwhelming stress and sickness in my body.  I catch myself before I allow myself to go into the darkness,  I explore my feelings as information (messages from my body to me) and I bring myself into the now by becoming aware of my breathe.  As I breath (long and deep) into the essence of my being and relax into the experience, my body takes care of the rest.

What has changed?  From the outside, not a lot. I work for the same employer, I’m married to the same man, I have the same kids, I live in the same house, I have some of the same friends and some new friends. But inside I have transformed and I now see the world as my play ground (not a battled field), a place for self exploration, learning and growth.  I have not been on antibiotics since before Decloaking, my marriage is stronger than ever and I love who I am and look forward to discovering more of me.  For me, this is happiness and it’s all mine!

If you’re considering stepping into a “Decloaking and Living Authentically” experience, ask yourself – Is how I’m living my life working for me? If the answer is “no” or “I’m not sure” than Decloaking may be for you.  It offered me a new way to see myself and how I moved through the world.  I went to Decloaking for my children but my life (and the life of those I love) transformed in to something wonderful when I chose to commit to my own journey of self discovery.  I now know I’m an invaluable gift to myself and the world!

With great love, respect, integrity and generosity of spirit,

Angela

ONE YEAR LATER:

A year ago today I stepped into Decloaking with Naomi, Raina, Rachel, Lillian and Lisa.  I clearly recall the mixture of movement in my body as I drove up the driveway to Stoneham.  I had no idea what I was getting myself into.  I thought I was taking advantage of an opportunity to get away from the demands of my everyday life…what I discovered was a new and inspiring view of my life.  In decloaking I came to know I was not broken and did not need fixing.  This one change in how I viewed myself, opened the door to greatness and catapulted me on a journey of self discovery and enlightenment that is has become “just the way I live”.  My life is wonderful…that is the word…wonderful and it is all mine!!

I have transformed more in the last 12 months than in the 42 years prior.  I no longer hold myself captive to rigid, static sets of believes,values and attitudes about how I (and everyone else) should live.  Each day is a new adventure for me and I approach my day with a sense of openness to all that is and to all that is possible.

I have come to know:
- I am a “powerful” Godforce capable of manifesting whatever I desire into my live.
- My body is my friend.  There are times when I do not completely understand the messages from my body (or I do not have the words to describe the signals from my body) and I chose to trust the “not knowing”, I choose to breath and let my body lead and my life unfolds.
- My only purpose in this life is to grow and evolve myself, mindful of my potential for living “fully alive” in all that I am and in all that I do.
- Authenticity is simply a choice to be myself and tell the truth in each moment. This takes courage and trust in the safety within my body, not certification or training or any other form of structured learning.
- Children are the masters of the universe and being a parent is a privilege.  ”Parenting” for me  is about creating space for children to be who they are, not who I think they should be.

I have been blessed with the company of amazing women on my journey.

I have a deep sense of gratitude to Louise for creating and sharing the wel-systems body of knowledge.  You are a an amazing gift to this world and I so very pleased to have had the opportunity to engage with you directly.

I have a deep sense of gratitude to Naomi, Lisa and Amy for sharing the truth of their experience with me, for inviting me to programs and experiences to facilitate my own personal evolution.  Oh, so much movement deep inside just thinking of how each of you provide a very powerful example of living your own unique individual truth.  Very different women, utilizing a common thread, creating a collectives of like minded women journeying towards awakened presence.  This is the gift you are to me…Where a bow when you need one…LOL.

I have a deep sense of gratitude to all the women who engaged in the wel-systems programs and experiences with me.  You have all taught me so much about the human experience and about myself.

Today I stand firmly grounded in my own truth, loving who I am and what I have created for myself in this life and knowing there is more.  In this breath, I know we are all connected as we move through our own unique individual experiences of being human and for some reason that feels great.

Today I celebrate being “fully alive” and what that has come to mean for me.

I attended Naomi’s first Decloaking and living authentically session in December, not knowing what I was going to discover about mySelf. And during those five days I was able to claim more of who I am by realizing, I am worthy of my potential. Not because of the training I have received or the things I know, more because I was able to come face to face with a part of me I held as a truth, told to me by someone else, now knowing it’s not my truth. Naomi provided the space and safety for me to go there and come out with more of me on the other side.
