Zoey says,
Here is what I stand for:
I help others connect with their mind body spirit, heart & soul through holistic & powerful wisdom coaching.
My Values: love, integrity, honesty, fun, freedom, collaboration, co-creation, simplicity, community, sustainability.
My Guiding Principles and Words of Wisdom:
I hold this truth as self evident, that all humans are created equal.
I believe that power and synergy occurs when people hold a similar vision.
I believe that each person bears a uniqueness that asks to be lived.
I believe that we have the ability to create the life we desire.
I believe in sharing our time, talents and treasures.
I believe in a power greater than myself and in the harmony of universal laws
I envision: a healthy, peaceful and vibrant world anchored in a “partnership model” (Rianne Eisler).
I believe: as does the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean (Canada’s Governor General) and Kofi Annan (former UN secretary-general), “that the future of the world rests on women’s shoulders.”
I honour and respect: our elders, the children of the planet and Gaia herself.
I believe: that elder women carry the wisdom forward and are a re-emerging “wisdom council” for the world.
I believe: in the goodness of people, in kindness, in joy, in the future.
