Herman & Karen

Herman Commandeur RPC and Karen Goodfellow RPC, RCST have been interested in the area of primary relationship since they first met - at a relationship workshop almost 6 years ago. Since their first date, they've been practicing sacred relationship and using their own relationship to help other couples succeed. 

They see their relationship as a sanctuary for healing and a crucible for awakening. Together or separately they work with Clearmind International, Warrior Sage, Peak Potentials, and Setting Hearts Free (either in a paid or volunteer capacity).

Herman has been studying his whole life...his interests have always been in philosophical and psychological systems, and spiritual practices. He became a Concept Therapy Teacher in his 20's, has taken both Clearmind International's 3 Year Registered Professional Counselling (RPC) program right after Dr. Robert Master's year long Spiritual Psychology Program.

He has attained Master Level for the popular Opening Intensives (also known as Illumination or Enlightenment Intensives) and has been acting in a Senior Monitor capacity all over North America and Asia for the last 6 years supporting over 1000 participants.

He has been practicing mixed martial arts for almost 30 years and has put this to use in the intense, ever-popular Predicament piece with Peak Potentials, Warrior Sage, and Setting Hearts Free all over North America and Asia for several years.

He believes "that each of us has the capacity to grow beyond the norm and into our full realization. The truth of who we are and of what life is, is found through a combination of focus and discovery"...and he is living proof. In his late teens, he was homeless and involved with the drug world until a scary, devastating drug trip almost took his psyche away for good. After a decade-long road back with skilled trainers and masters, he eventually recovered what was lost. He grew a successful business with 16 employees, got married, had a family, and became a millionaire at one point.

People that he has supported say repeatedly that he can take anything they've got no matter how bad it seems to them...nothing they have scares him, and his unique blend of focus, tenacity and compassion goes a long way.

Karen has been interested in human relationships since the '90's. Karen has facilitated over 15,000 workshop participants in the area of relationship dynamics.

 Karen has a diverse background which includes Professional Group Facilitation, Registered Cranio Sacral Therapist (specializing in trauma resolution), Certified Life Purpose Coach (through the Life on Purpose Institute), Certificate in Fine Arts through Emily Carr University of Art & Design, and a BCIT Certificate in Marketing.

 Her North American clients include Fortune 500 companies (i.e. Sherwin-Williams Paint, Este Lauder-Tommy Hilfiger Executive Team, HP, etc.), grassroots organizations, First Nations, cultural creative groups, activists, management, union, senior executives, elders, and youth. Her experience includes being the Regional Wellness Specialist running TELUS Mobility's best-in-class Wellness Program for 5 years. Her speciality is managing people, teams and organizations through change, leadership development, and team dynamics.

 She says "I see relationships as the final frontier...I am teaching what I most need to learn. It's paying off"!  Clients say that her blend of caring and seeing potential inspires hope and a willingness to take the necessary steps to change.

"Dear Karen & Herman,
Thank you so very much for everything tonight!
I am grateful to you for allowing me to come to your group without having done any clearmind work. I am grateful for everything you did tonight, from preparing your space, to the beautiful way you welcomed and loved us. Having everyone share their story was a powerful enticement to open to loving each other, and it was easy to do just that.
You are so lovely, both on your own and together, that it was absolutely delightful to be in your world with you! I feel the incredible potential and know with certainty that what you have to share will be of such value, and I am excited and energized by this. I may not know how the next few months will unfold but I don’t need to! In fact, the anticipation of the unknown treasure is delicious!
I feel incredibly blessed to be on this time space adventure with you and look forward with eager anticipation to our next group meeting.

Thank you for being who you are and for graciously and generously sharing yourselves with us.
with much love,
Kathleen"

"The hardest part of The Opening was getting past who I thought I was. I've spent my whole life trying to justify myself to myself. During The Opening, I saw myself as God intended. I saw myself as a radiant life force and nothing else."
