Elizabeth | Participant, Overcoming Fear Firewalk Event
This is the second time I’ve attended this workshop, and this was an experience beyond words. After 20 years in and out of sobriety and addiction, fear has been my biggest obstacle on my journey forward. It had been running my life. This workshop allowed all of us to face these fears on our terms. The final act of walking over hot timbers and verbalizing our positive affirmations to the entire group is something I will never forget. Those words I spoke to myself are ones I continue to say every day in the mirror: I trust God. I trust myself. I trust my recovery. I am worthy. I am enough. I am facing my fears today. Unicorns & Polka Dots, you are making a huge difference in the lives of those in recovery. God Bless you.
Jake | Participant, Overcoming Fear Firewalk Event
Attending this workshop was an exhilarating and liberating experience. Being a newcomer to such an event, sitting amongst a crowd of others in recovery from substance use disorder or alcoholism, I found a sense of belonging and unity. As a person in recovery, these two concepts are extremely valuable to me. The lessons and the activities we conducted gave me a sense of freedom and made me feel so much better about myself and my place in life. Thank you for all you do for those of us in recovery.
Kristy & Jennifer | Participants, Overcoming Fear Firewalk Event
This incredible event mixed ancient traditions with modern healing. By combining emotional support and guidance, participants conquered fear, crushed their self-doubt and left with a renewed sense of strength crucial for their recovery. This fire walk was life-changing for me. After talking to fellow participants, it sounds like everyone was enlightened and favorably impacted.
Chuck | Participant, Overcoming Fear Firewalk Event
What an incredible experience! This workshop was a huge game changer for me in my recovery journey, and I feel so much stronger mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The stories, lessons, camaraderie and strategies learned have strengthened my self-confidence and heightened my self-worth. Unicorns & Polka Dots, you are truly onto something here!
Rachel | Participant, Networking Workshop
Your networking workshop was beyond inspiring. I now realize the power of making and nurturing meaningful connections that can last a lifetime. The strategies and ideas you shared were outstanding. I will be putting these into practice immediately!
William | Participant, Networking Workshop
What an incredible workshop! At first, I thought networking was all about what others could do for me. However, after practicing some of your strategies recently, I realized I can help others. What a rewarding feeling!
Elizabeth | Participant, Self-Defense & Protection with Sam Rosenberg
Wow, the skills and techniques acquired during these two sessions were exceptional. Beyond self-defense strategies, Sam's knowledge about how to lessen the chance of putting myself into situations where bad things can happen has my self-confidence and self-esteem skyrocketing.
Rebecca | Participant, Self-Defense & Protection with Sam Rosenberg
As a victim of domestic violence, I lived in fear for many years while my self-confidence and self-esteem took a beating. After attending these workshops, I feel so much more empowered, and I hold my head high, knowing that I am better positioned to handle difficult situations should they arise.
Joan | Participant, Self-Defense & Protection with Sam Rosenberg
Thank you, Unicorns & Polka Dots, for offering such an important life skill: self-defense. It was wonderful to participate with a group of my peers in recovery. I feel so much more prepared for any potentially dangerous situation that comes my way, and more importantly, I’m more attuned to what is happening around me.
Christina | Participant, Self-Defense & Protection with Sam Rosenberg
The instruction we received through these workshops was the best I’ve ever experienced. It was obvious that Sam (and Joe) truly cared about us as individuals and were committed to ensuring we were positioned to take on life in a new way. Just outstanding.
Dave | Participant, Restoring & Improving Your Credit Workshop
While in active addiction, I destroyed my credit. As I began to focus on my recovery journey, I was utterly overwhelmed by the thought of attempting to rebuild and restore my credit rating—in fact, I didn’t think it would be possible. Bob's strategies and tactics gave me hope. With Bob's guidance over the last several months, I have been on a solid path to restoring my credit, self-esteem and self-worth.
Diana | Participant, Restoring & Improving Your Credit Workshop
After years of active addiction, I thought I was beyond help – I felt as if I were drowning. Bob’s ideas, knowledge and approach turned my life around. So well done. Thank you.
Bob | Participant, Yoga & Mindfulness Workshop
Mandy’s workshop helped me tune out the noise in my head and focus on my spirit and well-being. I now look forward to getting up in the morning to stretch and meditate. I feel so much more at peace.
Beth | Participant, Yoga & Mindfulness Workshop
This was a fantastic workshop, and it was so well done. Thank you, Unicorns & Polka Dots, for all you do for those of us in recovery. You are a big reason I’ve stayed on track with my recovery.
Brent & Debra | Dr. Nicole Labor Presentation & Lecture
We are not in recovery from addiction, and frankly, we were very judgmental of those struggling with substance use disorder and/or alcoholism. To say we were uninformed and uneducated would be an understatement. Dr. Labor completely changed our thinking and opened our eyes. Her ability to connect with us in layman’s terms and explain how this disease impacts the person struggling was spectacular. Unicorns & Polka Dots: please keep bringing this level of education to us. Just phenomenal. You have our support.
Sarah | Dr. Nicole Labor Presentation & Lecture
It was a very impressive presentation – full of insights, wisdom and knowledge. I walked into this presentation thinking that addiction was some moral deficiency or some poor choice that a person made. I walked away with a greater understanding of a disease that plagues so many. I now have a strong sense of compassion for those struggling with this disease and for those families living through it.
John | Dr. Nicole Labor Presentation & Lecture
As someone who has struggled with substance use disorder for several years, I never understood the science behind this disease or the strategies that many have used to keep their recovery moving in the right direction. Kudos to Dr. Labor for the outstanding presentation and delivery – I’m armed with information I didn’t have before and feel so much more confident about my ability to slay this beast. Unicorns & Polka Dots, you are doing fantastic work!
Dave | Participant, Chakra & Reiki Workshop
The chakra workshop helped me focus on my inner strength and strengthen my ability to find peace and calm, which I sorely needed in my recovery journey. I feel so much more energized to tackle the obstacles in my recovery journey.
Becky | Participant, Chakra & Reiki Workshop
Finding my center was critical to me. I’ve tried so many things to help strengthen my recovery, and this specific workshop opened my eyes to the spiritual and holistic side of healing. So well done!
