Our Story

You may click here to learn more about who we are, but first, please read the story of how we came together, a story full of serendipity and synchronicity, as all stories of great wonder and mystery are. 

Carrie:  One day in the fall of 2008, I felt that I should offer private sessions to the people who visit my website, www.quado.com.  What I wanted to do was lift up into their soul selves to see what we would discover there, what the landscape of their soul looked like.  I conducted over 70 Soul Sessions, during which I discovered that we are all full of power and wonder, each of us an utterly unique storehouse of talent and greatness.

Two of the people who called me were Bernadette and Valerie.  In our sessions, I knew immediately that I had encountered women of awesome transformational power.

Bernadette:     I had actually seen a vision of a red-headed woman about a week before the invitation came from Carrie for the private sessions .    I was getting a bioresonance session from a friend and shifted into an altered state.  A vision of a red haired woman was seared into my brain.    I didn’t know who she was,  but her energy and the red hair could not be forgotten.    My friend said “Who do you think she was?”  And I said, “I don’t know, I just know I am supposed to work with her.”

One week later I got the invitation from Carrie for a private session, and when I went to the Website to check it out, there she was again!  As tingles ran down my spine, I realized “Oh my God, that’s the woman I saw in the vision.”   I realized then that I had also seen her in a very lucid dream at least 4 years earlier.  The presence and power of the red-haired woman had been with me since that dream as well.

Valerie:   Isn’t it interesting when your Higher Self has something in mind for you….just on the other side of current awareness?   Let the adventure begin!   I was intuitively being guided to have a session with….someone.   Who!? Someone, who!?    This presented a discernment challenge.   I looked at a couple web sites, 'not it' I felt my Self say.   Well, within a short time, there ‘someone’ was; by way of an email, Carrie Hart.  My intuition was joyfully saying, yes!

During our session, we saw a gathering of women in my soul landscape and I was a catalyst to bring them together.   It reminded me of a place that spirit had shown me 1997.   It was a place that women would come to re-member who they truly were.  Reclaim empowerment;  body, mind, spirit.    

Carrie:  In all of my soul sessions, I would speak aloud what I was seeing as we went on our great adventure together.  When I lifted into the soul space of these two ladies, I encountered such awesome power that my voice grew very loud and authoritative.  I felt a vast transformational energy pouring from them and through me.  And I thought, oh, I wish I could harness all of this power!

There were several women who had reached out to me for Soul Sessions, where I felt there was something we were meant to do together.  For a time, we met for weekly calls where we had a meditative experience together, discovering a great golden vortex of energy that lifted all of us up into new levels.

Bernadette:   One Sunday, Valerie and I were both on the group call.  I had missed a few calls and so had Valerie, and I remember looking at the pictures of the group of women that week wondering why I had never been on a call at the same time as this woman Valerie.

Carrie was also on that call, and the conversation flowed into areas that the group had never touched on before--my passion for Christ Consciousness which was shared deeply by Valerie and Carrie.  Valerie and I 'remembered' each other from another time and this remembrance created a mystical experience for me in my heart and in my body.  It was an uplifting experience, to say the least!

The next morning I left for a vacation with my daughter and grandson, with a vow to myself to connect more with these two women when I returned.  I left my cell phone and laptop behind and committed myself to an electronics-free 16-day vacation. 

After I  left, I realized that I hadn't mentioned that I would be off on vacation for two weeks.  I didn't worry about it, however.  I knew they would understand if I didn't join the weekly call.

Valerie:  Seeing Bernadette in my vision as we spoke to one another on the phone that day was a Divine reunion.   Tears came to my eyes and I saw who she was and remembered our connection that spanned eons, perhaps eternity.    This was a most sacred experience for me and beyond any words that I could share in this writing.

Carrie and I both live in Southern California.  When we met in person my soul lit up!    I looked into her eyes across the table and knew her well.   I heard a name from my angels and would later find that they were telling me of a lifetime we had spent together as family, in holy service.    She immediately invited me into her world and to Thanksgiving dinner just two weeks away! 

This wasn’t just any ol’ holiday dinner.  This was dinner and a SHOW!  Carrie is an entertainer!  She performed her one woman show, Courage of the Creative Spirit, for all the guests.  Wonderful!  The whole day was laughing, and singing and just good old fashioned, outrageous FUN!  I felt as if I’d known everyone for all of my life.   And I felt completely loved.   Truly, Carrie is one of the most generous and loving people I have ever met...….again, met again.   That’s right.  

Carrie:  In January, 2009, I began working with Coco Fossland to learn how to turn my great passions for music and spirit into a sustainable business.  I performed her meditation to discover my Authentic Customer, a spiritual approach to find out who you are meant to serve.  I went into a clearing in the forest, where I saw a table set for two. 

A woman joined me at the table and told me about herself.  She said she had done everything right:  married a good man, had children who were doing well in school, was financially comfortable, kept herself in good shape, but yet deep meaning and purpose in her life had eluded her.  She felt unfulfilled and adrift and yearned for the life of joy she had thought would be hers. 

I asked her how I could help her.  She told me she wanted me to spend 3 days with her and that during those 3 days, she wanted me to energize and clarify her life, to lift her into her true self, to transform her completely  into a woman who greets each dawn with joy and vibrancy, looking forward to a fulfilling and joyful day. 

Several things were immediately clear to me: 

First, there was no way I could do this in 3 days on my own!

Ah, but if I could get Valerie and Bernadette to join me, with all the power I knew they had, together we could, indeed, give this woman what she needed, an amazing transformation in the space of only 3 days. 

And I knew where this retreat should take place, at a magical resort I once visited, where my intense spiritual experiences had included a deep connection with Jesus and Mary.  Yes, the Hotel Hana Maui on the remote Eastern side of Maui was the place. 

I immediately sent off emails to Valerie and Bernadette and then waited to hear from them.

Valerie:  I received Carrie’s email.   It felt as if my soul were saying, “Hey, pay attention here, kid!”   I had always felt that things could happen in an instant.  Known it!   A part of the Christ Consciousness, the highest and best happening in the twinkle of an eye, was deep in my heart of hearts.   It was as if I had been asked to carry it there for years.      When Carrie embraced the name I suggested for our new adventure, Twinkle of an Eye, I was blown away!   Then she sent me an amazing bit of music from Handel’s Messiah:  “And we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. “  

Carrie:  Valerie and I were charged up and overflowing with energy about our new venture.  But where was Bernadette?  I didn’t have a telephone number and my emails went unanswered.  So Valerie and I plunged on and defined what we felt was the experience our Authentic Customer needed.  I began to build the website built around the photographs I had taken during my stay at the Hotel Hana Maui.  But it just wasn’t complete without Bernadette and the Power of 3.

Bernadette:  I was having a splendid time in Maui and on the 11^th day of our vacation we decided to do the road to Hana.  Prior to leaving we made a reservation over the phone at a campground  5 miles North of Hana.  When we arrived, a sign had been posted:  “Closed for water main repairs.”  Disappointed, we drove into Hana. 

 If you have ever driven the road to Hana, you know it is grueling.  I pulled into a parking lot as we couldn’t wait to get out of the Jeep and take a stroll. 

We found ourselves on these beautiful  grounds, with the sounds of the ocean below, at what appeared to be a resort, with ranchlands and ocean all around and a magnificent cross overlooking the landscape.  I felt at home and just knew I wanted to stay here.  The cost didn’t matter to me;  I told my daughter, “We’re staying here, on me, for your birthday.” 

I went straight to the front desk to register and as the luggage person drove the grounds to take our luggage to our room, he said, “There are no TV’s in the rooms at the Hotel Hana Maui, but right over there is the business center – you can watch TV or check your emails …”. 

Even though I had committed myself to an email-free vacation, something in me just wanted to check if there was anything urgent.  There was a “high priority” email from Carrie saying, “Please respond to my earlier emails!”  It was her invitation to join her and Valerie in this wonderful new venture called “Twinkle of an Eye” ... with retreats at the Hotel Hana Maui!

I couldn’t wait to tell them that synchronicity had landed me right there—and as I read further into the “Maui Papers” posted on Carrie’s website about her experiences on this same spot, shivers ran up and down my spine as I read of her experiences with Jesus and Mary.  She had also featured a picture of the cross up on the hill and talked of her visions of Jesus walking across the same grass that I had strolled across only moments earlier.  Now I knew why I felt so at home. 

It was the only email I opened, read and responded to.  I  couldn’t sleep, I was so energized.

Carrie:   I opened my email in the morning and there it was, finally, an email from Bernadette.  I could not believe my eyes.  I immediately called up Valerie to share the amazing news.  “You aren’t going to believe this—but Bernadette is at the Hotel Hana Maui right now!”

Valerie:  I think I must have said, "You're kidding" at least twelve times!  Holy Bajoles!  My jaw had hit the floor!  I sat listening to Carrie with my heart in such joy, my mouth open and my head eagerly trying to wrap itself around the whole thing.  Does God send out confirmation memos?  I felt like I was getting one!

Bernadette:  How could I have said anything but YES YES YES to the opportunity presented.  Never had anything felt so RIGHT.  Suddenly, I couldn’t wait to go back home and explore this magical experience even more.  On our first 3-way conference call I was graced over and over again with divine energies entering my body.  My inner vision and intuition was immediately accessible and I recognized that something magical was occurring that was magnified by the Power of 3.

Carrie:  As we began to work together, we realized that our energies were forming a pyramid, a pyramid filled with our blended, flowing and growing powers. 

And now we are just waiting for you to join us and explore the amazing landscapes that are opening.
