Comments from Participants in "Astronomy, Spirituality & the Mayan Prophecy" Weekend Retreats:

• "I found the Astronomy, Spirituality and the Mayan Prophecy seminar to be utterly fascinating, fun, and enlightening. The science was clear and well defined and blended nicely with human aspects of spirituality. Judy Young was enthusiastic in her penetration of the mystery of the Mayan calendar and presented the material to us in a clear and wonderful way. Judy was very accessible to the class with answering our questions. She created a sense of community and comraderie in the group. The seminar was well paced and energetic. Thank you so much, Judy. I really enjoyed meeting you. I had been looking forward to this for many years." (Richard M., Feb. '09)
  

• "This has been a wonderful workshop, very love based. I appreciated learning more about astronomy which I have never understood at all. I love the various ways to access guidance and the knowledge from many teachers and paths. Fascinating to learn of the Mayan number and astronomical systems."
  

• "Another outstanding program from a wise and knowledgable teacher. Thank you, Judy." (Gene S., Feb. '09)
  

• "Thank you kindly, Judy, for your envigorating workshop. I found it intellectual and soulful. You were professional, grounded, fun, energetic, knowledgable, and peaceful. I am leaving with new knowledge, positive action and balanced joyfulness." (Kristie K., Feb. '09)
  

• "Off the charts, baby!"
  

• "This program was great. It fulfilled the hopes and expectations I had for it. I was quite interested in astronomy in my youth, an interest which has become more latent the active. I am very interested in spirituality, and Mayan prophecy for 2012, and stone circles. Thank you, Judy. I appreciate your teaching and your excellent, calm, but passionate, teaching style." (Carolyn J., Feb. '09)
  

• "Your astronomy classes must be awesome. You made the astronomy come alive. Things I knew sort of from books I now understand in my being, and have a new excitement about looking at the stars."
  

• "This was a gentle introduction to not only Astronomy, but Spirituality too (which is not something often openly spoken of in my house and family)."
  

• "Judy's delivery was superb. A highly recommended experience. She knows her stuff. As a scientist, she is so serious in combining her spiritual knowledge with the scientific, she is truly an inspiration." (Kettler C., Feb. '09)
  

• "Judy: I liked the variety from science to psychic and how the transitions were explained. Two opposites (in today's world) brought back to when science and alchemy were one. I also liked how you kept this your workshop. Others, myself included, have our areas of expertise -- but we came to you! The manifesting meditation at the end was especially good." (Richard L., May 2009)
  

• "Judy: Marvelous! Your bright light shines through in all your teachings. Aha, celebrate 2012! I'm so glad in my heart. The truth revealed -- be on the path. Our time together was wonderful. Time to be in your presence and sharing your energy. Saturday and Sunday rocked. Your knowledge and understanding created clarity for my understanding [esp. Mayan culture and astronomy]. It opened the door to the night sky and gave me a better understanding of the world I am part of. The handouts were wonderful -- loved the poems and meditations, sharing and reading aloud. This was a great group of people. Many blessings, with gratitude in my heart." (Rose R., May 2009)
  

• "Joyous Judy: I loved it all -- your sharing of your knowledge of the sky and your studies of indigenous peoples and their connection to the sky; all the reminders to feed our spirits, to create our own spirituality with the simple things that are truly miraculous; your wonderful dwelling place, beautiful spirit, openness, graciousness. My understanding of the sky & universe has increased. I appreciate the booklet of handouts to refer to in the future to refresh my memory. I loved this group. And I loved the night sky at the Sunwheel. Many blessings to you to continue your important, wondrous work." (Elaine C., May 2009)
  

• "The most significant moment of the weekend for me was the discovery of the Mayan number system. It fits with my computer experience. I also appreciate a great deal more the many elements of the astronomy of Earth and how it has affected the residents of Earth, including Joyous Judy. The spiritual insights and humor woven through the weekend were a refreshing dessert to my time spent here." (John M., May 2009)
  

• "Wonderful to spend the weekend with the parent/mother of Laura. Perfect in-depth information about astronomy. The use of slides and dialogue was a good method of teaching and learning for me. I had been making the sky part of my universe for the past year. Now I know what I'm seeing and it is great. It was wonderful at the Sunwheel. Judy, you are amazing in energy and knowledge in your field. I loved being part of the group." (Adele M., May 2009)
  

• "My awe of the universe was stimulated in a way that it hasn't been in a long time. Looking at the stars, understanding the movement of the Earth, Sun, and Moon -- it just thrilled me and made me feel a part of the universe. I liked the way you constantly integrated spiritual pieces into the more scientific parts of your discussion. The power point presentations were great. Your handouts were fantastic. I will use them to help in my spiritual practice. The one major thing I learned was I need to really put into practice the things I have learned here at the retreat. I will do my utmost to start a real, creative and thriving spiritual practice with the wonderful info and awe you have given me." (Wendy I., May 2009)
  

• "A fantastic body of information! Judy Young led us to the water where we drank the science of Astronomy, the introspection of Spirituality, and a better understanding of the ancient Mayan Culture. I came away with food for my mind, body and soul, and sustenance I will draw from for a lifetime." (Marcia R., May 2009)
