Comments from women about their Front Porch experiences


The Front Porch is a place where grace, mercy, and love meet....they can meet there because the hosts have created the space for them to show up.

The Front Porch just gets better & better....every time I chose to step onto it, I leave with a sense of having been in the right place for that time. And I am plotting a way to get back again.

Mindy & Shannon have created a space where women can tell their stories both written & verbal in an environment free from shame & judgment.

The Front Porch Series is a great place for those looking for a group or place to tell their stories, as it's a good reminder that one is not alone in life.

Everyone has a story to tell, and my experience has been that by the end of a retreat everyone has had an opportunity to do just that.

Within the group I felt like Mindy resonated with my heart. She offered me connection with herself and with others, which made me feel hopeful and less alone. She treasured what I shared of myself. She honored me and my story, which is a gift that I continue to return to.

The Front Porch Series is not therapy, however it's a great bridge for those who feel alone to gain language of togetherness & community, especially for those who may in the past have felt that alone is the only way to be.

Mindy brings her own passion & writing ability to the group, and others often have felt they are there in spite of not being a writer themselves.

Mindy & Shannon are gentle yet strong facilitators who invite people to know their own hearts better. They graciously guide people as they navigate the contours of their stories, their circumstances, and their souls. They can be with people wherever they are, in whatever they are ready to share. They listen deeply and speak with compassion and kindness.
