Testimonials:

“Jeffry, I appreciated your thoughtfully orchestrated sermon and the range of topics you framed.  You touched an important and timely issue on dealing with stress during these pandemic times, and we are grateful for the three practical ideas you shared.  I especially appreciated the ‘Body Blessing’ you taught to us. We hope to have you back to give more sermons in the future.”

“An inspiring, delightful and unique message for those seeking deeper meaning during the holiday season.”

“Jeffry was recently our guest speaker at Dakota Unitarian Universalist Church. His presentation was informative, well researched, but also quite engaging, thoughtful, heartfelt and included personal experience and humor.  It was very well received and we look forward to having him back again.”

“Jeffry said ‘Yes’ to an invite to preach on less than a month’s notice.  He did a lot of research and shared much of what he learned with us.  He did a good job of connecting his topic at hand (“Hanukah”) with the larger context of December holidays and holy days.  He has a lovely gift with words and made good use of a repeated question to focus our attention.  He was also quite patient with a member of our congregation who differed with Jeffry’s interpretations.  I have reason to believe that Jeffry’s patience led to a valuable insight that ‘different’ does not equal ‘wrong’.  What a splendid gift! You have a gift for preaching, Jeffry.”

“It is clear that you are meant to do this!  Clear; well written; solid adult learning theory; this is doctoral level work!  I can see this program being in great need by many people.  Jeffry’s a good presenter, good pacing on the exercises.  His passion is clear and evident.”

“Wow! I was amazed at how useful this was.  The exercises and the process were very effective.  I am very pleased with the product I walked away with in such a short amount of time.  Jeffry, this is gift to share with the world.  Thank you for bringing this into the world.  It was easy to stay engaged; I did not get lost.  You have something very powerful here.”

“I loved how your materials and facilitation led participants on a journey back to self.  I have never experienced such clarity of purpose and walked away with such richness. I have done many many workshops and programs over the years. The two hours I spent with you were some of the most productive. I have had the opportunity to be a participant and have had you speak to my group.  I know from the audience’s responses to the event that you facilitated, that they too were impacted by your work as I was. Thank you, Jeffry, and keep doing more!”

“Deep takeaways from this retreat: My blunder is my friend. Journey of authenticity – what must die in me? Death and resurrection/paschal mystery theme. Nice mix of movie, questions, background, sharing, ritual, and self-reflection. Thanks to you, Jeffry.”

“In the Avatar movie, Jake’s courage led to rebirth, and it was life-giving. It reminded me of my own self-care and inner work to have the courage to do the right thing and stand up and speak up. I must have the courage to speak up. I thought about Jeffry’s word, ‘Sacrifice’ and I need to find the healthy sacrifice in my own inner world, it is worth fighting for.”

“Discovering my Avatar was a new experience for me. I’m not sure yet how to use my Avatar. Making a sacrifice (at the sacred altar) so that I may grow was fantastic for me. Using the language of soul (image) to articulate my sacrifice and reconnection with self, spirit, others, creation….Super!”
