A few days ago I spent several days at a truly singular energy center. I’d liken it to other sacred sites I have visited over the years, except for one thing: it is more. The source of power at places like Mt. Shasta, Uluru (Ayers Rock in Australia), Sedona, Glastonbury Tor, Chartres, and Jerusalem is rooted in the past: The Paradise Sanctuary, occupying a modest acre and a half just outside the town of Ashland, Oregon, is a portal into the present. Reverend Lawrence Katz, steward of this sacred land, has spent twenty-five years preparing the site for its current role as an energetic vortex to help earthbound beings adjust to the quickening frequencies of the Shift – the impending transition into the next dimensional paradigm.

It was a blessing the day I met you. Your work as an emissary for the
Light to bring forth new healing frequencies not only touches children's
lives but ALL lives, mine included.God Bless You for your commitment
and your courage and your love. The Planet is a better place because of you.

Sanctuary plays an important role on the planet at this time more than
ever before. As people are awakening out of the confusion of separation,
they are needing safe, loving places to feel validated upon their
journey. I found this with Lawrence and his Sanctuary in Oregon. I was
able to surrender deeper than ever, because of the trust I felt with
Lawrence and his immense abilities as a shaman - he is a true instrument
of divine grace and I treasure the work he does and the healing I have
received in his presence. His work with young people is exceptional and
his ability to "tune-in" extraordinary

I simply stated and state herewith that my sound healing session of
November 8th 2003 on your crystal bed, followed by the all body massage,
transformed my life. You helped me to bring out the feminine side of my
“grand” self and allowed me to “ receive” in a way I had not been able
to until that magical day. The best thing is that the “treatment” has
not only lasted but has blossomed into an entire “opened” way of life
and the year was by far, the most satisfying in my life. Congratulations
to you and your team on your brilliant Divinely inspired talent ….

What I remember most was that I felt this energy moving through me that
I had never experienced before. I was happy, and didn't know why.
Actually, looking back on it, I was joyful, but had no clue that that was
what I was feeling.

When I moved to Ashland, I believed that it was simply to spend time
with my parents before their mortality was realized. I still believe
that was a very real reason. But I now also believe that the pull of
that was so strong because I was ready to take the step into my own
evolution, call it spiritual, call it emotional, call it psychological,
I don't know that I will put a label on it, although I might have even a
year ago. Meeting Lawrence and experiencing the energy flow that I did
on his property and in that room was my first step into conscious
consciousness.
