“And the day came when the risk to remain closed tightly in a bud became more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” (Author Unknown) If you are ready to blossom, dig deep and feel the warmth of the sun to guide you. Loren Sahara will give you that space. I deeply admire and appreciate Loren, who I have known for many years. He will challenge you lovingly, shine a light on your fear and assist you to unfold to your own unique expression.
Loren is a cherished friend and trusted colleague. His wisdom draws from great depths of being rooted in the land and aligned with the four directions. Through his playfulness and curiosity he shares space that invites grounding and orientation. I recognize his gifts in navigating challenging territory with palpable grace and compassion. He is a carrier of medicine.
We first came together through our shared studies in the PAT Graduate Certificate Program at Vancouver Island University, where Loren brought not only wisdom but presence—rooted, still, and grounded in culture and responsibility.
Learning alongside him was more than academic; it was a journey of the heart and spirit. His care is unwavering, his spirit deeply aligned with his cultural traditions, and his ability to create a safe, heart-led container for clients is something I’ve witnessed firsthand and deeply trust. He weaves together spiritual, emotional, and cultural care in a way that is so needed in this work.
I'm 61 years old and I finally feel like I can move forward and live in a peaceful state because of therapy. I was abused and beaten and abandoned by my family and I hated and fought with everyone and everything. Loren Sahara was the guidance and counseling I needed to change myself and to look at things from a different perspective and to finally forgive myself and others around me.
