I have know ALisa Starweather for more than 15 years and i support her
100%. ALisa is one of the most dynamic facilitators i have ever worked
with (both as a participant and as a co-facilitator). She has the
knack to be able to take a room full of women who are from different
worlds socio-economically, spiritual practice and age groups (teens to
late 60's) and in 2 hours, she has instigated the women to share a
deep experience of trust, healing and empowerment.
I have always seen her provide women with opportunities that lay the
foundation for friendships, and courage, to last a life time. From
instigating elders to mentor girls, to supporting women finding
sisters to pray, play and heal with, to organizing gatherings and
facilitating year long trainings, ALisa consistently empowers women to
be all they choose to be and to find support in the circles around and
within themselves.
ALisa Starkweather is a fiercely gentle spirit who truly makes the
world a better place. She is a born leader and healer and who has a
sense of humbleness and gratitude for her gifts that is truly
inspirational.
so grateful to walk this path with you!

Experiencing ALisa is like a journey down the river of which you have only previously walked the banks. You experience the river in a refreshing, new, and energizing way. You may be aloft the river on a float, you might be swimming in the current, or you may be underneath the surface examining a whole new world. ALisa is a dynamic and truly gifted facilitator with a unique style that allows people to move to those places they may have never even known existed. Her work encourages people to jump into the river with her, for they recognize that otherwise it will be moving downstream - without them.
I am honored to have ALisa in my life as a teacher and sister. No matter where she is - she's in!

Yes, we are all gods and goddesses, underneith the layers of obscuration!
Yet know this well- with Alisa, the veil is so thin, the nectar so sweet, the goddess shines forth so brightly, so fierce in the purity and depth of love and beauty and care, that she can by mere presence alone bless all who come within the orbit of her vast space of wakefulness.
If you have eyes to see, and heart to feel- may you come into the presence of this woman, and heal! May you know you are already whole, and need only remember!
Then much sweet sky dancing can follow, o'er meadow flowers and nest building birds in springtime.

...maybe the college wasn't quite ready for your purity, but you're like a breath of fresh air to me!

ALisa channels spirit. Direct channel of light and love, she holds sacred space for others as no one else I know. I have seen her in joy and in pain and she carries herself with such grace and openess to all the lessons that life has to offer she is a great power of example to me. ALisa knows how to show up and show up big and has encouraged me to do the same. Thank you dear sister for all the amazing work in the world and for the ways in which you have shone your light on me and mine.
