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.
