What others say about Caroline and the work she offers.


"A coaching session with Caroline is like walking into an Alchemic laboratory: by the end of it you are given the tools to transform yourself, to look at your life through different lenses and finally SEE the gold within. She helps you to dive into the AlcheMist[e]ry of your Essence, and she does it with the compassion and wisdom that comes from her deep connection to Mother Earth and to Source. Once more: thank you!"

FINDING MY DANCE
The Passion Unlimited workshop was my first introduction to dancing the five rhythms on the June bank holiday weekend and what a weekend it turned out to be. The centre in Donore Avenue is an oasis of calm in a busy city and is a credit to its community
.Once I stepped inside the centre, I seemed to be stepping out of my own life in some way or another. I very quickly felt at ease with Caroline's words and direction; to work with and dance with music as a tool was a revelation and eased and teased and erupted many emotions. Caroline I want to thank you for sharing your abundant gifts with me; helping me to scratch below the surface and get over myself; to move on, dance on. The group was incredibly supportive for me also; I feel that I have made some very profound connections. I was invited to join in the workshop by my sister Margie (this wasn't the first invitation by the way and lucky for me that she is the persistent one) who has danced for some time and my sister Joan who was the first in our family to dance the five rhythms. To share the joy of the dance with my sisters, to really look into their eyes and beyond and move with them; to be in synchronicity with those who are so close and dear and knowing is indeed very special. Again, thank you Caroline, thank you all. You have reminded me that I have many gifts to be grateful for. Anne Collins, Co. Cork.

Caroline creates a safe, beautiful and inviting space to explore whatever it is that comes up in people. She intuitively guides and entices feelings to the fore that need to be expressed, dealt with and transformed. Caroline has a masterful way with people that provides a platform for her students and clients to connect with their true feelings. This enables them to be in the present and live their lives fully.- Brigitte Sumner-author, coach, speaker.

"Thank you for the last workshop, Heart Matters! You held the space in a beautiful gentle manner allowing space for our own wisdom to come through. Thank you for your journey, it's teachings have helped me on mine..". Stephanie 0'Connor (Heart Matters '09)


I'm finding that the more I open to the love around me and let
go of the negativity in my head (for that is the only place it lives)
the more positive I become and that when I dance I open more and more
and that I'm finding it wonderful to dance for others and the whole
Universe - it stops me feeling selfish too! Dance is connection
and "no man is an island" Dance is community! Dance is Life! My message is to focus on the positive in our lives and keep shedding the negative and dance toward the joy and lightness in life.
Bette King (Heart Matters 09)

I thoroughly enjoyed how you taught /facilitated the class, when you explained about the elements and how we can use/relate this to our everyday lives at the beginning of the class, it was like the session took on a different dimension,as a result of a deeper understanding of the nature of the class. The music really enabled me to become the element. I totally 'get' what you are saying about the elements speaking to us, and allocate time to specifically commune/connect with each of them, outside of the dance.
Thanks Caroline, I look forward to the next time. Bring On 2009!!!
Janelle (cork class)

It has been the most wonderful of times, dancing, witnessing, sharing, listening, laughing, crying and shaking with all you gorgeous beings. It has changed me: I have grown deeper into my self. And I thank you for all these gifts Let’s always remember that we are courageous and fierce soul warriors and our actions make the world a better place for everyone. Peace and joy. Liam (Soul Action 08)

Caroline, thank you for such a unique quality that you offered. For holding the sacred space for us while offering the paths to connect with ourselves, in between each other and with the Spirit. The gentle, profound, concentrated and joyful ways of yours are such a pleasure to experience. Great learning. And hope to join some of your work in the future. Marketa (Soul Action '08)

"It was a whole new experience for me to keep the stories out of the way - that played a huge part in helping me to get wholly into the dance and out of my head(where I have spent a lot of time in my journey!) Instead of standing quietly trying to figure out what was going on and why, I was able to let all the reasons and the chatter go, and get on with the dance and with life! Even since, I rejoice in my new tender heart!
Thanks for a wonderful weekend of support and encouragement!I I love how you sort of keep yourself out of the way and just provide us with a space and music to let us get on with our own journey in whatever way we chose".

Philomena Sutton (teacher) Heart Matters Workshop '08

"Caroline's work is crafted just as much from her own experience of life as it is from the many years of study she has undertaken. I have seen her emerge and take her place in the circle of teachers who are committed to excellence, ongoing learning and the delicate balance of personal power and humility which is a foundation for good study. She is delightfully creative and the deep roots that she has developed through maintaining her equilibrium in life's storms as well as her sense of humour means she can hold the space for you to take your journey, safely, deeply and truthfully. Be warned, the love she feels for the dance and for life are highly infectious."

Ya'Acov Darling Khan. School of Movement Medicine.

"Caroline is playful maiden, down to earth mother, mistress enchantress: rarely does one meet such a range of the feminine archetypes so artfully embraced .... and shes a grandmother !"

Dawn Morgan (5Rhythms™ Teacher and mother)


“Caroline is an inspiring being of integrity, intelligence, service and joy, who has a lively appreciation of life. She holds people with gentleness and strength with a clear intention for their empowerment and growth. She is on your side! “
Susannah Darling Khan. School of Movement Medicine.

"The view I have of Caroline is wise, dynamic, serving and unfolding. Being prepared to engage life as a gift and not duck the pain of the truth Within each part of her personality the same ingredients of talent, ambition, fire and commitment are there."

Victor Marino (Executive Coach Trainer, PCL London)

Dear Caroline, I would like to say THANK YOU. I truly enjoyed your workshop in Cork last Friday Thank you for sharing with us your love, magic and passion for life and for being an inspiration See you at the next workshop in April!

Estela.

“The workshop benefited me, in the sense that it brought clarity to me that in order for me to move on, which I know I have to do, it is in my own best interest to take the necessary steps, and I was able to get past my fear sufficiently to do that. It was the acting out scene that did that for me, that was powerful. Even to watch some of the others was fascinating.”

Ase O’Riordan

"Thank you, I so enjoyed (Deeper Knowing) & worked through so much stuff @ weekend. It was a fabulous group, & a wonderful wizard at the helm."

“Caroline Carey Kicks Ass !Helen Bohan

“......... I took a risk and I danced my love, my joy and my gratitude. I told myself "don't hold back, it's the last dance of 2006, a BIG year. I danced my gratitude for all the sweat and tears and for the space that you create every week where at last I have learned to feel and to open my heart. So the answer that came to me this morning about what I need from the dance is to just enjoy myself expressing all the love and gratitude I feel inside. To be free. Change has finally come for me and I can hardly believe it.”

Suzanne Fagan 5Rhythms Class December 2006

"Caroline Carey is a shamanic healer and teacher, who has dived deeply into the rich dark roots of the shamanic path and danced within its primal landscapes. I am very pleased that she has now chosen to share her skills in accessing the ecstatic abandonment that shamanism brings for healing and transformation: you are in good hands."

Simon Buxton - The Sacred Trust

"Caroline is dedication and devotion, creating sacred and safe dance spaces. She is alive intuition and serene acceptance. With a gentle determination to serve the truth, she inspires."

Sally Elsbury (actress & mother)

"........ as a teacher , trainer and spiritual guide Caroline brings a presence to her work that speaks of compassion and sincerity, truly a woman of stature and depth. It is my pleasure to recommend her highly."

“The theatre was very powerful for me.
I've developed a notion that one of my ancestors was hanged for a witch (for which read strong, sensual, spiritual, intelligent woman) and it's the shame of that that got carried through the generations to me.
At the osteopath's yesterday she started working to release my hyoid (the bone that get's broken when you're hanged!).”

Vicky Kinnaird ph.d ph.psy

 

"My crazy dream may not happen to-day or tomorrow, but it somehow seems so much more of a possibility and an exciting challenge now...Thank you,Thank you, SO much, for giving me the opportunity to take the Call to Act..."    Maria
