In April I participated in Gwen’s ‘Awakening Spirit’ women’s retreat in The Algarve, Portugal. It wasn’t that I was experiencing a ‘crisis’ in my life, just a deep hunger for personal growth, for something more. And I discovered it in working with Gwen. At some point during the process Gwen said ‘don’t be surprised if when you get home people start making comments about how much more self confident you seem and how much stronger a ‘presence’ you bring to work, networking events, etc’. She was absolutely right. I notice that I am also having an easier time setting goals and boundaries in my life. The only thing is that I’m not surprised! And Portugal was an awesome adventure on top of the retreat experience. S. Gauthier, Ottawa, Sales Exec

I had known of my ability and responsibility to choose before this, but the ‘knowledge’ had only been an understanding of/by my intellect; it was during this Feeding the Muse program in Portugal that it really entered and took hold in my body, cell by cell. This revolution in my own self-awareness, as Gwen calls it, was big and bloodless and has had huge impact: I accept that it’s MY life to create and live and thus: I refuse to remain fearful of life; no longer will I ‘live’ behind a protective wall or by observing others as they live and kidding myself that that’s living, that that’s enough. – L.H. Ottawa, Philanthropist

What would I say to someone else who was considering taking this kind of Feeding the Muse experience? It's a gift to give yourself. It's a way to break patterns, to express emotions, to free yourself up, to pamper yourself and to play. It is done in a very gentle, soothing environment. J.G. Ottawa, Career Counsellor

"I can't say enough about the style of your Feeding the Muse art program. It was brilliant: carefree, no rules or regulations. The chakra inductions were the catalyst for all the inspirations that have followed. I am so happy that my art world is taking offffff. Ron (Van Go) Vickers, Halifax, N.S. Artist

I have successfully navigated the turbulent waters of many life transitions including early widowhood, divorce, job downsizing, promotions, and shifting from life-long employee status to becoming an entrepreneur. I am unwilling to watch others struggle with life events when they don't have to. My name is Gwen McCauley, my company is OUIcoach™. I have a BA in Anthropology, an MA in Human Systems Intervention.

I coach and train so that you too can discover that a wondrous life is possible. No matter how many challenges, disappointments, disasters or successes you've had, the future is yours to craft however you wish. The big question is: can you move beyond the limits you have set for yourself? I know you can because you are the same as me and I have done it!
