Since the founding of Earth Mother Awareness in 1993, we have been blessed by the programs that we offer in that they have allowed us to meet and share with wonderful people of all ages and from all walks of life. It is with deep gratitude and humbled hearts that we list here some of the comments we have received from these wonderful souls regarding Earth Mother Awareness programs:

"Medicine Hawk and Looks-Within-Woman — Bob and Mary Ann McClellan — led me to a deep, abiding awareness of "All My Relations". Through the pipe ceremony, the purification lodge, and Vision Quest I experienced the peace of knowing myself and my Creator as well as the joy of finding myself in communion with my brothers and sisters, with the Earth, and with the world of Spirit. And out of these experiences, I learned of (and embraced) my responsibility to the Earth and to all its creatures. Bob and Mary Ann are extraordinary teachers, bringing abundant wisdom, compassion, and care to all they do; they are my teachers, and I am grateful to them beyond measure." .... Joyce Z., Brooklyn, NY

"Words cannot express the feelings my heart holds for Medicine Hawk and Looks-Within-Woman (Bob & Mary Ann McClellan). Their teachings and friendship have enriched my life in countless ways since first meeting Bob in 1998, and later Mary Ann. Through Vision Quest, Pipe Ceremony, Purification Lodge, and working with them to offer Vision Quest to others, I have learned much about myself and much about this wonderful creation of which we are a part. But even in the "casual" conversations of the friendship that we share, they cannot help but be who they are: Teachers, in the finest and most complete sense of the word. Without reservation, I highly recommend any class, program, or ceremony that they offer." .... Rodney T., Augusta, GA

"Also, your giving to all of us was tremendous. Empowering, trusting, encouraging, supporting and loving are all words coming to mind to describe both of your giving. Of course, functionally and materially you gave also. This was very well-rounded giving which reflects the wholeness of your self. It also speaks to the wholeness of your approach and belief in the process of questing." .... Toni H., Vanceave, MS

"If you choose to start this journey in Folsom, LA, with Earth Mother Awareness, you will not be making a mistake. You can feel assured that Medicine Hawk and Mary Ann McClellan will give you the protection, physical and spiritual, that you need to complete your quest. You will know no other gratitude as powerful as the one toward them for their vows of protecting you and the steadfast love with which they keep the quest site safe while you seek the reason for your life. Nothing written or said will persuade you to quest or not, or to quest in Folsom, LA, or not. You will know what you have to do, and Earth Mother Awareness will help you get that done." .... Wayne J., Chicago, IL

"Thank you for the love {I felt} when the quest was complete. It was at that moment I realized the power we were surrounded by during the four days. Because of my love for you, Medicine Hawk and Mary Ann, there was never a time that I felt afraid — I felt your concern and love for each and every one of us. Thank you." .... Emily S., Honolulu, HI

"Vision Quest was one of the most difficult things I've ever done! Your love, support and total commitment to my safety helped me to complete the quest. I knew with certainty that you were protecting me. Your spiritual and emotional guidance was inspiring. Many wonderful things have happened to me because of my quest. I've overcome life-long fears, gained confidence and pride and have had insights and revelations that are transforming and empowering. I would recommend Vision Quest under your skilled and loving protection and guidance to anyone who is searching." .... Angie H., Covington, LA

"You really put me at ease in a situation where I was definitely out of my "comfort zone"! Your concern for my, as well as everyone else's, well being, plus your desire for us to achieve a personal and positive outcome was extremely evident. We all knew you were there for us. I was truly nourished by your loving excitement for our achievement and growth. I will be recommending Quest to many other people in the future. I really hope they are fortunate to have you as their leaders." .... Eugene O'K., Mandeville, LA

"Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for helping me to become reacquainted with life once again. Thank you for bringing us all close to you and to our Mother Earth." .... Karin R., Baton Rouge, LA

"I first met Bob and Mary Ann at a Sweat Lodge they were facilitating for a group of women who ranged in age from mid-eighty to early twenties. It was such a profound experience for me to sit in the company of those women and hear their stories and to realize the power that each woman carries within her and that the power resides in me as well. This group continued to meet about quarterly for the next year and every meeting is a healing and growth experience for me. I have also had the honor of having Bob & Mary Ann offer their protection and guidance to me as I've Vision Quested with them twice. I felt safe and secure during the entire four day quest and the care they gave afterward was just what I needed. They were gentle, kind and compassionate in their support." .... Denise M., Gonzales, LA
