Centralia, WA
-
“What a gift this place is. If there was nothing else this weekend, that would be enough.”
-
“I felt so held and supported.”
-
“Amanda does an incredible job leading people in circle to hear their guides and connect with their inner wisdom.“
Experience what the Angels have referred to as “A Place of Flowing Water” with Amanda Gail. The Place of Flowing Water is an essence, an energy, that Amanda carries. It is her connection point to the Angelic realms. When Amanda partners with the Angels, they co-create a high vibrational container in which clarity and healing flow effortlessly. This is not a place, it’s a state they bring to you.
This is your invitation to enter these waters for soul-centered ceremonies and to be reminded that service to others requires deep love, care and tenderness towards self. In these waters, you are reminded that you are the Healer and Helper of your own soul. These waters are held open for you to experience the transformational frequency of unconditional love. Wade into this energetic flow and receive the support waiting here for you.
