Heart of the Brain Testimonials
On an evening and following morning in early July a group of us gathered for Layne Kalbfleisch’s ‘Heart of the Brain’ workshop at the Cedar Tree Institute in Marquette, Michigan. Layne led us into a world of science, mystery and health with an extraordinary, serendipitous exploration of the latest developments in brain research, personal learning, and developmental psychology. We were a diverse group; a family physician, a construction worker, an artist, a social worker, a grandmother, a pastor and a psychotherapist. Her facilitation was measured, informal, personal and mind-changing. Integrating her American Indian heritage with her training as a neuroscientist, she triggered the best of creative dialog and conversation among the group. Her ability to honor and validate folks in their own respective journeys was, in my experience as a retreat leader, remarkable. Layne is an exquisite workshop leader who invites participates to sharpen practical, on-the-ground skills, insights, and perspectives on themselves and the environments that surround them. She’s a treasure for learning communities that hold respect for the hard evidence of the sciences while appreciating that we are all carried along by a great mystery.

Layne Kalbfleisch’s Heart of the Brain engages and educates all your senses. I truly felt what she meant, and it deepened through her guided imagery portion of the workshop. This exercise led me to strengthen my own intuition, self-healing and desire to understand my heart, of my brain.
Layne’s kind, authentic spirit connects with each participant as she shares her wealth of knowledge and research into the depths of the individual nervous system. I am grateful I was able to attend and I highly recommend Heart of the Brain workshop.
Layne Kalbfleisch is an excellent, very competent speaker on a very complex subject. She willingly shared her experiences as a scientist and what we can do ourselves to make these connections. She is also kind and generous to every participant. A great program and a lovely person.
She is a wonderful person, who provides academic knowledge with experiential parts spiced with a lot of humor and good vibes.
Layne Kalbfleisch, for being so young, has a wealth of experience researching the topic and was able to put her scientific research into layman’s terms and by combining with interactive exercises, and free time to explore nature gave a nice weekend workshop experience.
You hit just the right spot for an audience of educated laypersons — high level, but covered the basics. Lots of valuable information!
Your presentation was accessible and brilliant! I cannot wait to continue to follow your research and watch you change the world.
You are like the genie in the bottle.
