The Path of Growing Younger: Clear Mind, Healthy Body, Pure Heart. At the beginning of my journey, I learned a lot as I started to look deep inside myself and discover new things I had not known before. I have benefited greatly from Fay’s workshops and also from reading her blogs on websites which have beautiful calming pictures. I am very grateful for her wisdom, intelligence and guidance which brings many positive effects to myself and others.” – Dianne G., Coquitlam  

Eight Gates to Wisdom  Fay is a kind, strong and nurturing soul. I attended a number of her Eight Gates to Wisdom workshops and found her to be a wonderful facilitator, full of wisdom and guidance. She is an incredible storyteller.  From her workshops, I have become much more aware of the different phases of my life and the experiences that made me who I am today, what a blessing it truly is to be a woman and to know we can age gracefully.  -Linda, Burnaby  

The Art of Forgiving   I found Fay’s The Art of Forgiving seminar to be immensely helpful in expanding my understanding of the subject.  It provided me with valuable insights and sense of relief that frankly I didn’t know existed.  My idea of forgiving was sweeping things under the rug and moving on.  And over the years, I realized that this way of handling it predominantly backfires, creating more issues and strains in my relationships.  Now, I’ve learned much healthier approach and mindset that can benefit me as well as others in my life.  I highly recommend this seminar! – B. Kim

Balance 101: I really enjoyed the Balance 101 seminar.  I did not know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised to find out. The session was reaffirming, calming and enlightening for me.   The exercise at the end of the session was quite wonderful. – Wendy Isley

I would recommend this seminar for anyone who wants to increase their understanding of themselves, and be open to their own inner voice.

Breakfast with Soul  “Recently, I had the immense pleasure of meeting Fay Wong at S.M.A.R.T. Cafe, Breakfast with Soul. Upon our introduction, I immediately, found her to be a rare, genuine treasure. She carried herself with grace and elegance. She introduced the topic, “Soul”, into the conversation, in a seamless, masterful way which was truly delightful and refreshing. Our conversation was never awkward or uncomfortable. It appeared to me that Fay has a deep respect for human beings from all paths of life and for the gift of life itself.

Walk & Talk: “I found the walk and talk particularly powerful as it accelerated many changes and broke apart firmly held beliefs I had about myself.  I was stuck and needed change but was at a loss as to how I would achieve that. . . . We think we can problem solve our way out of it ourselves, only to discover it was that exact thinking that got us there in the first place.  There is nothing quite like having a breakthrough to create rapid change.

If there are any curious individuals out there wondering if this is right for them, I encourage you to take one walk and talk with Fay and see that it is as powerful as it is nurturing.  I can only describe Fay as the person who has the ability to pick us up, as though we were a crystal, look at us from all angles, dust us down then simply place us in the sun, allowing us to sparkle.  We all need that from time to time.  So, in 2016, let your light shine!  It will be the best thing you have ever done for yourself, your family, and friends.” – Clare Lappin

Organic Living (One-day retreat) “I attended Fay’s well organized, full-day Organic Living Seminar.  The day was fun, which is something many of today’s adults are lacking in their lives.  We sang, learned about the seven chakras (body energy centres that relate to our health) and made mandala circles from fruits and vegetables of assorted colours and textures.  We each pulled a Wisdom Oracle card.  Mine was the Resting Tree, a sign for one to stop focusing and planning and be at peace in the moment.  This is an area of constant struggle for me.  Fay even prepared a delicious lunch for the group.  She is passionate about health and wellness and lives what she teaches.” – Donna Dunn
