Here’s what people have to say

Energy Healing:

I had not heard of shamanic healing until Nancy mentioned she had been training to become a shaman.  On a whim, I decided to try a few sessions with her, and the result of our second session was life changing for me.  I’d been having almost nightly disturbing dreams for years and assumed they would probably always be with me.  With Nancy’s healing guidance, I was able to come to terms with a past tragedy that was causing the dreams.  Through her practice, she helped me release the grip the tragedy had on my mind and spirit, and, as a result, I no longer experience these dreams.  Thanks to Nancy’s skills,  I absolutely believe in the power of shamanic healing. Judy J.  West Hartford CT

I received a Shamanic cord cutting ceremony with Nancy. She was a calm force, guiding me through the ceremony. She explained every step of the way, so that I understood and could relax and take in the experience. I felt lighter energetically after the ceremony. There was an emotional response for a few days afterward, and then a sense of relief or release. Since the ceremony, other events have triggered emotions around letting go, and I would be open to additional shamanic, energy healing work with Nancy. She creates a safe space to explore and process difficult emotions, energy and healing. Maura O, Manchester CT

Nancy skillfully led us through the beautiful ritual of the Full Moon Fire Ceremony. She used her training and powerful presence to create a sacred atmosphere in her enchanted backyard. I greatly appreciated her attention to detail while navigating the unexpected with ease. Under her guidance, we gathered as individuals yet united into a Divine Oneness. Brava! That which I surrendered into the fire, I continue to release in profound ways that are shaping my life. Beyond myself, my family is experiencing the same thing through the ripple effect from me to them. Julie Grace West Hartford CT

I found the experience of the Full Moon Fire to be both calming and energizing at the same time. I loved the trust that builds with the others around the fire. Nancy made us feel safe and comfortable and welcome. If you go with an open mind and heart and trust the process, it's an amazing experience. And, you will most definitely sleep well afterwards. I now look up at the sky in a more intentional way and really think about direction and placement. Maureen K, West Hartford CT

“Nancy Murray is a gifted healer. She is deeply spiritual and intuitive and was able to give comfort and relief to my ailing husband when all other protocols failed him. . . His wound improved markedly, the great pain he was experiencing subsided and, most miraculously, her gentle hands helped him to address and heal deeper wounds, issues of trust and love. Nancy possesses a divine compass that leads her to those most in need of her manifold skills.” Mary G, Biddeford ME


Pilgrimage

“A trip of a lifetime” That is how I would describe “A Pilgrimage on the Ancient Spiritual Path of the Camino de Santiago” run by Nancy and Hugh Murray with Deep Peace. This was a trip filled with intention, filled with fun and exploration and filled (obviously) with walking on the path that thousands have touched for over a thousand years. Nancy and Hugh put forth so much effort and energy to make our trip/journey meaningful. Yoga, poem readings and words to think about each day made this passage so meaningful. I so enjoyed the pace of the day as it unfolded that was set by both Nancy and Hugh. We each found our own meaning from the trip. Between being unplugged from our phones and to some extent life and the delicious picnic lunches provided by Jose, the delightful bed and breakfasts where we stayed each night, the comradery that was built amongst the travelers on the trip and the well thought out details made this trip so unbelievable! Thank you, Nancy and Hugh for the privilege of traveling with you. Tammy Kelly, La Quinta CA

The yoga/meditation retreat to the Sanctuary at Two Rivers was an amazing week. Nancy Murray and Nancy Sinchak were inspiring teachers. I particularly liked the morning meditation and yoga sessions - although I had to push myself to get up and going in the morning it was well worth the effort. The wellness Ritual at the waterfall was exceptionally inspiring. The jungle, accommodations and food were outstanding. I could go on and on about the wonderful week filled with meditation, yoga, serious reflections and tons of fun, laughs and love. Thank you to my Tribe of Jungle ladies and especially our two very knowledgeable, patient and special ladies Nancy and Nancy for a week that will always have a place in my heart. - Margo K., North Palm Beach, FL

I am grateful that our wonderful leaders built a supportive, affirmative community of Pilgrims. I felt privileged to be part of a group of seekers who had “come away for awhile” to reflect, observe, and grow...
There is something Holy about that experience. A time away, a time to shed our baggage, and a time to hit the reset button. ..
I feel renewed, at peace, and energized...Thanks to our 3 wonderful leaders who guided us through true Pilgrimage. Thanks to all of you for sharing your enthusiasm, hearts, and spirit.

Thank you Nancy, Susan and Scott for a truly memorable vacation. The whole trip was well organized and seamless from the travel to and from Iona, to the cozy accommodations, delicious food and professional staff @ the St Columba Hotel. It was an added bonus to have Scott share his wealth of knowledge, regarding the geology of the island. The daily prayers, yoga, and abbey services were beautiful opportunities to connect with the island and its people on a deeper level. Our evening gathering before dinner was a wonderful way to come back together and share our thoughts and experiences. 
I'm grateful to have been able to experience Iona and all its beauty with enthusiastic, experienced guides that shared their favorite beaches and vistas with us. I look forward to another visit to Iona with Deep Peace.

Yoga

“Yoga classes with Nancy continuously nurture my mind, body and soul.  Nancy creates a class atmosphere that is spiritual and peaceful – and sprinkled with humor!  If I miss a class, my week just isn’t the same.  Nancy is – by far – the best yoga instructor I’ve had, and I highly recommend her!” Judy J,  West Hartford CT

“My flexibility, balance, and general well being would not be the same without this practice. My husband now participates weekly. The teaching and positive energy that Nancy provides and the skills she gives us make a huge difference to us both!” Susan and Harry W, Simsbury CT

“I appreciate how Nancy works in themes to coordinate with the calendar year as well as the various religious seasons using meditations along with the yoga. Whenever I finish a session, I exit feeling more calm and relaxed as well as more energized than when I came in. This is not just a business for Nancy, but a calling.” Nancy U, West Hartford CT

“Acceptance was the biggest and most important take away from these classes and gatherings. Nancy helped us identify areas where we could just say ‘this is what it is today’ and learn how to sit with those feelings while still looking and finding joy and grace.” Sandy J, Asheville NC

“I enjoy and am revived by Nancy and her skills. She reminds us to do what our bodies say we can do, without pain. Our sessions begin and end with beautiful readings that are at times like devotions. She has created a community where she cares for us, and we care for her and each other.” Joanne W, West Hartford CT

“Nancy leads her classes with such care, warmth, and fun while providing excellent exercise. She is welcoming, encouraging, and interested in each participant. I talk about the positive effects that this yoga class has afforded me to all my friends and family.” Joyce O, West Hartford CT

Meditation

“I was in need of something to help with my anxiety. My sister recommended Nancy’s meditation. Now that I have been doing it for over a year, I feel calmer and more able to deal with situations.” Georgiann K, Palatine IL

“Nancy has an innate ability to make you feel completely supported, especially when your eyes are closed and her voice connects you to an inner peace. After the session is over her voice leaves you with an immense sense that you’ve been cradled with the biggest hug that infuses a strength and new perspective within.” Margaret M, Henniker NH
