You attracted many wonderful people and I look forward to keeping in touch with several of them. I keep thinking back to the day with fondness and know it was even more powerful than I realized while I was there. Thank you for putting it all together.

By my complete surprise, I met my lovely wife at the
Inner Fire Singles’ Retreat almost a year ago !

We found that we have quite a bit in common and have now created a very happy life together ! We started with a mutual attraction felt towards the end of the retreat, became friends and fell in love very shortly thereafter ! We are now planning our first child together ! Thank you Amber for inviting me to do something that has had such a huge impact on my life !
Love - Mark

The sweetest thing I recognized about the workshop is the coming together of strangers through honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness to go beyond the
normal groupings and try new things!

I’m really shocked at how much more I understand about human dynamics
and our huge capacity for love. - Chris H

I just wanted to thank-you for inviting me to the Inner Fire Event !   I am thrilled to tell you that I have learned a lot from that day!   I would like to be part of more events that you might have!   The group of people that you had introduced me too is exactly the kind of people that I need in my life!   Strong positive people with great determination to make anything happen in a world of endless possibilities!   As for yourself, I am at a loss for words; I can’t tell you enough how much of an extra ordinary person you are!   I loved everything about you since the first time I had met you and now I can really see us being great friends for years too come!   Thank-you so much for all the love and understanding you showed me this past weekend!   (by the way I do find myself attracted to someone from the INNER FIRE(smiles))  

Again thank-you so much, Lots of LOVE, H


" If Art is the key to admiring beauty, then Amber's Inner Fire Retreat is

the art of seeing beauty in the people around you everyday.

It's an undeniably wonderful transformation." Peace, Thomas

Dearest Kind Amber,
 I slept so good last night and had completely lovely dreams after what we went through yesterday.
I feel like I fell in love a little bit with each person there and the teachers were all amazing and relavant. I never thought I would be open enough to come and I want to come back again ! The amount of energy you put out is jaw dropping and your Yoga has changed my whole perspective on it. I will be there on Tuesday for yoga for sure. I definitly want to keep in touch with everyone and am going out next Saturday with - you know who- .
 God Bless You - L

Ciao Amber,

Just a quick note to say thank you again for inviting me to this Retreat. Each time I go ......I find out a little bit more about myself and those who are there to receive something from me as well. You do this! You gather, teach, nurture, coach and mentor to all of us who are looking for truth and reason in our lives that at sometimes are lost but beceause we have been given the oppurtunity to be graced with your love and guidance I will write it down as being Meant To BE!!

 You are truly the "Goddess of Light" Thank you again my dear sweet woman. It was so nice cuddling with ___ at the end, the touch of a woman is always so comforting. And the great thing about all of it that there was no sex involved,  just nurturing. I was at an ultimate place of peace when paired up with ----- to share my secret and hers shared with me. It's these memories that you have introduced into my world and now they are in my artist eye and head forever. I just smile in rememberance.

- Rich

 

Amber, thanks for a truly safe, fun, and empowering experience!  I felt a romantic connection with ___ and look forward to seeing where it goes ! I feel a sense of peace and energy from this that is still flowing days later.  I loved getting insight about myself and others from Dr. Robbie and appreciate all the fabulous friends I met !

Dr. Robbie Dotson was so amazing !  Everything about his presentation was engaging and relevant….wonderful.  

Qi Gong:  Ginny was great.  I loved her statement that cancer is no scarier than a cold.  I believe that and really was interested to hear and experience what she had to offer. The photos were effective.  The tapping was great. The work by the pool was so wonderful ! Having said all that, I want to say that I felt her contribution was immensely powerful and I hope to get some help from her individually in the future.  She is beautiful and vibrant in her knowledge and willingness to give.  I appreciated the handout.

Drumming:  Michael was a great teacher, the drumming was great fun.  I look forward to doing the drum ‘til dawn event.

Amber:  You are amazing.  You remember and use everyone’s name so easily and see the beauty in each person.  You make everyone feel special.  You are so beautiful and talented and spontaneous!  Thank you for taking what we each are and facilitating creating a wonderful experience for each of us. Aloha, C.


Miss Amber, Your love and warmth have brought happiness and contentness to my soul. 

 It is a rare pleasure for me to meet someone with such  bright glowing light from within. 

Your are truly a person that I would choose to emulate as part of the person I would like to be.

From what I have observed from my experience at the Retreat is that all of us have the light that we often hide from one another. 

 I know that souls in this world need a "recharge" every once in a while, and I believe that you give the experiences
that are needed to do this . 

You have been given a beautiful gift, to harness and show the way to have souls shine brighter.

I really wanted to show you my gratitude by saying thank you for a beautiful experience. 

 Much love...-        Chris

      

Amber, you lovely, lovely woman!  You are a very interesting, warm,
funny and open-hearted person.  Thank you so much for inviting me to
what was a fantastic Inner Fire retreat. I will eagerly await the
opportunity to attend again and I did make many really special
connections with all of those attending.  Just being real with people,
laughing and playing, and learning and loving and sharing.  Yeah....it
was a great experience for me and very timely. ; ) 

I have had a couple of days now to "recover" and have found that I have
 been able to maintain my open heart!  Amazing!  I have so much more
 patience for my children and am so much more present with friends,
 family, and clients!  Thank you all soooooo much.  I've done many
encounter groups and never have I maintained my sense of openness the
 way I have this time.  Everyone was so very beautiful, inside and out.  I
 really look forward to opportunities to get together and have fun/play
.Love - J


 Dear Amber, Thanks for providing a unique and comfortable experience. It was wonderful to meet and spend  the kind of time we did with a group of people from all walks of life. The mix was great. You are truly blessed to be able to reach so many kinds of people and bring them together. Your able to be yourself and express in ways that make others comfortable. You make it look easy.
I'm glad I came.

I look forward to getting together with the group for dinner because this time the comfort will already be there. It will be fun !. Put me down as a 'yes' and I'll be there !  Love - B


Dear Amber, I have had a wonderful time yesterday! … I’ve learnt so much!  Thank you so much for the experience!

I respect that what you are doing! I am so happy to meeting you and the other beautiful friends!

I wish that ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!     Lots of Love and Hugs, T xo


Amber,

I want to thank you for a truly wonderful experience.  I do feel that I walked away a new person, more optimistic about companionship and new methods of leading a healthier life style.  I appreciate all of your time and energy !.  

Make it a great week and please let me know what I can do, should you need help with anything in the future !  

Aloha- J


Hey Amber, I really, really appreciate the experience I got yesterday. Everyone was absolutely fantastic.

You should be very proud of yourself for all of the wonderful memories you’ve created. I feel like I really connected with everyone involved there. Please feel free to pass on my email to everyone that was involved ! Ciao Bella,J


Hello Amber,
I had the time of my life and I cannot thank you enough ! With all of the love in my heart thank you AMBER !  Your Leo Bro -  J

Amber -

I am very happy you encouraged me to join the Inner Fire Group on Saturday.

This was a wonderful and unexpected journey into learning more about myself and making new yet very close friends.  I look forward to seeing everyone again, and will make the effort to stay in touch with my new friends. 

Thank you again for the experience !

With Love

K

 

Amber,

each moment we all had with one another was perfect bliss,

not a single wasted word or gesture.

You have a gift of bringing together the right people at the right time with the synchronicity of music. I won't forget how it felt and I want to thank you for being the one to orchestrate it so well. I am blessed, sincerly F  

-          

Amber,

Thank you for a magical Saturday.  You are a great facilitator with boundless energy.  I enjoyed meeting and bonding with everyone there who were so fun and adventurous.  The blindfold exercises and massage were so sensual and sharing, a totally new thing for me !

I never thought that I would be watching the "moon set" over the horizon or gaze at the stars while floating in the pool with a bunch of us at 4:00 AM.!!   

I went to the baseball field afterwards then crashed all day.  I'm really reflective now about what relationships mean to me.  At 44, I'm still soul searching.  The "pyramid" exercise prompted me to review values and what is "self-love."  Truthfully, I learned more than I expected about myself !  

I'll be sure to recommend your retreat to other singles who are open to play and meeting new people without judgement. Thank you again ! Aloha,

Cynthia

 

Aloha sweet lady!
 I had the BEST time.You have such AMAZING energy.I  feel so grateful to have spent such an awesome day with so
 many great people. Boy did I need it!! ( In case you  hadn't noticed ). I will definitely be there Thursday for the Dinner Party. I'm very excited about it. Lots of love and gratitude,
 Denise


Hi Amber,

Thank you again for all your energy and what you put out to everyone.  I'm not exactly sure how to describe it but I really felt like a different space and energy was created during the day.  I know that is the intention and it definitly felt like it happened.  It was a real time out and very enjoyable.  I'm so glad I did it ! 

I ran into ____ on the beach yesterday afternoon ! She was saying how much she enjoyed it and was wondering how soon it would be before she ran into someone from the group.  Pretty quick ! 

Tenaya

 

Dear Amber,

The retreat was so fantastic and you are an amazing woman !  Thank you for being you and doing all you do! I plan on developing my friendships with everyone who was there !
