“Sometimes the hands can solve a mystery that the mind has struggled with in vain.” – Carl Jung
The five gifts – the soul values
As a journalist in the 1970s Laurie had the privilege of traveling into the rugged forgotten corners of South America. As a privileged white North American, she was shocked by the grueling poverty and hardships that made up the fabric of everyday life.
Yet many of the people she met were filled with a hope and resilience that inspires her to this day.
It wasn’t until 2012 when her beloved home was wiped out by a hurricane that she found herself lost in a sea of despair.
As she sat facing the ocean, she meditated in search of guidance. A Source of inner wisdom and calm whispered to her soul: “Humility. Patience. Empathy. Forgiveness. Growth. These five gifts will help you through this. Write them down and share them with others.”
She was amazed! These five gifts are the soul values she had first encountered in her travels through the Third World. They are transpersonal in that they transcend any specific culture or religion; however, they are found in many of the world’s spiritual traditions.
In the 1990’s – 2004, she spent part of each year studying with indigenous healers and shamans in the jungles, mountains and cities of South America. Their teachings inspired her book The Five Gifts: Discovering Hope, Healing and Strength When Disaster Strikes.

Facilitator
Laurie Nadel
A journalist for the first twenty years of her career, Laurie came to recognize that people whose lives were shattered by catastrophic events would need long-term emotional support.
But it wasn’t until she became sick with chronic fatigue syndrome due to burnout from the pressures of her career and family responsibilities that her new path was revealed.
After writing the best-selling book Sixth Sense: Unlocking Your Ultimate Mind Power, Laurie returned to school and at the age of 43 earned a doctorate in psychology; three years later, she earned a second doctorate in clinical hypnotherapy with a specialty in stress, health and PTSD.

She designed emotional first aid workshops for teachers at the Parkland high school where 17 students were shot dead by a former student. For the past three years she has been leading long term support programs for Miami firefighters and others living with long Covid since the start of the pandemic.
Her approach to healing integrates ancient wisdom she has learned from women shamans and curanderas in the southern hemisphere as well as remote viewers who
were employed as psychic spies by the U.S. military.
