  • "Being in community with Kevin is to receive the direct transmission of a dedicated practitioner, through generosity and care, compassion and kindness. I felt safe and held in the vulnerable places of this deep and transformative work; I felt uplifted and joyful as Kevin guided us ceremoniously back to the light. There are few beings that I will entrust this sacred journey to: Kevin is one of those rare guides."

  • "In working with Kevin I found the support and safety needed to be vulnerable and let deep emotions arise. Kevin provided a diverse set of practices to both calm and activate the body, to feel sadness as well as joy, to allow myself to be heavy and light. Kevin's presence is warm, loving and joyful and I can only recommend joining their practice!"

    Sofie W, the Netherlands
