Testimonials for Rae and JC
"Rae Sikora has a unique talent to educate, entertain, and
enlighten all at the same time. She never leaves a group
without adding them to her circle of friends. If Rae was in
charge of the world we would be living in peace."
Howard Lyman, Founder - Voice for a Viable Future, Author
of the books Mad Cowboy & No More Bull
"Rae Sikora is not just a good speaker, she is a good listener,
and THAT is what makes her so effective at working with
groups. Being able to really hear concerns from her
audience, and then being able to address those concerns
plus the sometimes bigger issues that their vocalized
concerns are masking -- that is why Rae is so effective at
helping people to see and think in new ways."
JoAnn Farb, Author of Compassionate Souls: Raising the
Next Generation to Change the World
"Rae Sikora is a very gifted orator and an excellent
workshop leader. I have had the opportunity to take several
classes, workshops and a weekend seminar that she has led,
and I can assure you that my life has been enriched and my
skills in dealing with others enhanced due to my work with
Rae. She brings great understanding and empathy to
enhancing our relationships with each other, the animals and
the Earth."
Jean P. Hollowell, Attorney
"Rae Sikora has had a profound impact on my life – her way
of being, relating and communicating has shaped me in ways
I am eternally grateful for. Rae modeled such powerful
communication for me at a workshop in Maine one year that I
changed the course of my work. She is a visionary with an
undying commitment to bring healing and compassion to all
parts of Earth. She is down-to-earth, humble and creative and
I continue to call on her for advice."
Daniella Dennenberg
Director of Organizational and Higher Education
Partnerships, Northwest Earth Institute, Portland Oregon

with his engaging and entertaining presentation style makes
him a highly effective speaker. As a leader of a campus
