Group Intention:

The intention of the group is to accept and appreciate the bodies that we have. Let’s experience the oneness together as we release our attachments to our judgments about our body. Let’s “love our bodies free” and use that as the springboard into experiencing our Divinity.

Meet the Facilitators:

Kristine Shaw:

I have been Spiritually inclined as far back as I can remember. I consider myself a lifelong lover of Love and I’ve always been fascinated by the human condition.

I picked up my ACIM text when I was in my late teens, and it stayed visible and unread on my bookshelf for decades. It was the prelude to where my life’s journey would lead me and where it is currently taking me.

Over the years I’ve experienced many challenges that have tested me to my core, taken me to rock bottom, and over time, by the grace of God, back out again. Some of these challenges have been directly related to self worth, self love, and self acceptance. Part of my healing and recovery came from learning Reiki and applying it for self healing. I have been a certified Reiki Master since 2016.

I’ve been a part of Jennifer Hadley’s Power of Love Ministry since 2017 as a student of Masterful Living year 1, 2 & 3. I’m also a developing student of ACIM within our community. I attended The Spring Clearing Retreat in 2019 with Jennifer Hadley, Lisa Natoli, Jon Mundy, & Corinne Zupko in which I experienced a deep healing. I also attended the Leading & Creating a Forgiveness Workshop Training with Jennifer Hadley in the Fall of 2019.

Through the application of so many of the tools provided in the teachings of Jennifer Hadley’s Masterful Living Courses, I have experienced profound shifts and changes in my life, in my relationships, in how I perceive the world, and how I show up in it. I attribute my affiliation with this wonderful community to being one of the most pivotal points on my spiritual journey so far.

Through the work in Masterful Living, I have also come to know God (and myself) as never before. We have developed a relationship of complete trust, faith and surrender with one another. I consider him/her to be my very best friend.

It is a true honor and pleasure to have the opportunity to work alongside Lorri Gifford supporting The Power of Love Ministry with this Loving Our Bodies Free Support Group. A sacred space where we can join in our loving hearts, honestly, authentically, with ease and grace in order to heal together.

 

Lorri Gifford:

Years ago, if someone would’ve told me that I didn’t have to be “perfect” and that accepting and allowing myself to be exactly as I was, was the key to living the life I desired, I would’ve laughed in their face. I’ve spent over 30 years in the wellness field, and that simple truth alluded me until just recently. Could I love and care for others? YES. It was me I was forgetting about. Beneath the surface, I was angry, feared change, loved to be right, compared myself to my friends and family, hated myself and lived paycheck-to-paycheck. Those were my “dirty little secrets”.

The only time I felt connected to something other than my own judgmental mind was when I was giving a Tarot Card reading or a massage. While I was giving sessions, I felt connected to a field of unconditional love. I felt free. Early in my career, I remember thinking, “if only I could live from this place.”

In 2015, I found and began working with Jennifer Hadley. When I took the Spiritual Counseling Certification program, those sessions gave me that same feeling of connection as when I was giving a reading. It felt like I had come home. As I began using the tools Jennifer shared and receiving Spiritual Counseling from my classmates, my life began to change. I began getting glimpses and at times living from that place I had envisioned years before.

I started listening to myself as lovingly as I listened to others. I began to see how unloving I was being towards myself. My relationships with my family, friends and abundance have done a 180. I wake up each day and get to do what I love to do as a career, and I am well on the road to loving myself.

The next chapter in loving myself involves allowing and accepting my body exactly the way that it is. I was always “the fat girl from the trailer park.” Most of my school years were spent getting picked on for my size. In my senior year, I got down to my “dream weight” and still looked in the mirror and saw big fat Lorri. Comparing my body to what was considered “ideal” became the norm. I have lost and gained and lost and gained and lost and gained my weight for years. I have been ashamed of and hated my body for as long as I can remember. 2020 is my year to STOP THE MADNESS!

This year, I am doubling down and “loving my body free.” My intention is to support others in learning to celebrate the miraculous vehicle they have been given that houses their Divine Essence.

Kristine Shaw and I will be co-facilitating Loving Our Bodies Free, a Masterful Support Group with exactly that intent. Will you join us? Let’s do this as the 2 or more gathered together! Let’s learn how to love, allow and accept our physical bodies exactly the way that they are.
