Here's what folks have said about their experience:
"I had the pleasure of sharing in 12 in Twelve, a deep spiritual exploration led by Stephanie Dowling. The intimate group setting coupled with Stephanie’s caring and non-judgmental guidance allowed me to get in touch with aspects in my life I had previously been unaware of. I learned from each activity, meditation, and group discussion. Stephanie’s kind, loving demeanor encouraged the community to come together as a safe place to share. So worth the time!!"

I was fortunate enough to attend (this) workshop with Stephanie a few years back.It was a totally enjoyable experience. I actually looked forward to Wednesday evenings when the workshop would take place. I loved that there was no religious connotation to it. It was pure fun and extremely thought provoking. I highly recommend Stephanie and her workshops to anyone looking for a great experience. Doesn't matter what sex or age you are, you will get a lot out of the twelve weeks and have fun, too!"

"Our community at Thornbury Farm had the privilege of hosting and participating in Stephanie’s Principles Workshop, which is grounded in the 12 spiritual priciples of honesty, hope, faith, courage, integrity, willingness, humility, forgiveness, amendment, vigilance, attunement, and service.
As both a participant in the workshop and the owner of the farmhouse, I experienced firsthand how Stephanie created a space that was both safe and transformative. Her approach is unique and creative, blending reflection with practical daily application in a way that made the principles come alive for each of us. Residents consistently found her sessions meaningful and accessible, often reporting new insights into themselves and their relationships.
What sets Stephanie apart is her ability to balance structure with openness. Each session had a clear focus while simultaneously allowing space for authentic sharing, making the experience both individually therapeutic and deeply personal.
The workshop was deeply inspiring and effective in promoting personal growth and self-awareness. Stephanie’s work embodies the very principles she teaches, and it has been a gift to have her guide our community through this process."
