Terry has been in the alternative health world since 1975 when she worked as a nutritionist.   Currently she is a well-known and accomplished massage therapist with a vibrant business and clientele.  For the past 15 years Terry has also studied Astrology with Arifa Boehler and accessed other resources in astrology study on her own.

Terry loves music, is an awesome drummer, has played in a band called Funky Stella for the past ten years.  She studied African drumming with Inanna, a highly-acclaimed group of African drummers here in Maine.

After completing two years of apprenticeship work with Dory, she has begun to incorporate her shamanic work with her massage and astrological readings.   Terry is going to continue her shamanic studies with Sandra Ingerman in 2010 while she continues to be my assistant in my ongoing apprenticeship programs.

I am delighted to have Terry at my side as I teach & welcome her and her powerful energy to our circles.

Alexandra Conover is a legend in Maine. She has 30 years of experience in leading professional canoe and snowshoeing trips in Maine & Canada, including Labrador. Recently she was in Japan leading a canoeing experience and teaching the specific paddling technique for which she has become well known. As if that wasn't enough she also hand carves and finishes canoe paddles in the Native American design and tradition

Alexandra doesn't just lead people into the wilderness, she LIVES in the wilderness. She has lived on the Big Wilson Stream for over 20 years, with a majority of that time having been spent in a year-round tent.

Dory first heard about Alexandra when she viewed an airing of Bill Green's Maine in which Alexandra and her former husband, Garrett, were featured in their month-long snowshoeing expedition across Northern Maine.

It is not uncommon to find Alexandra in a tent in the dead of winter on her own Vision Quest.

She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the coveted Maine Conservation Award from the Natural Resources Council. She is an Honorary Director of the Friends of Baxter State Park and Governors and Legislators have sought her counsel on environmental impact issues in Maine.

Spending time with Alexandra is like being immersed in natural culture and the simplicity of life. There is no rushing and no stress around her! She is a delight, brilliant, and truly humble. It is our honor to have her on our Faculty.

Susan M Savell is an ordained minister and is well-known throughout Maine as the founder and minister of The Peace Church, an interfaith, intentional, spiritual community. The Peace Church met in Portland, Maine for a period of about seven years. Because of Susan's ministerial standing, she is able to perform legal marriage ceremonies and this is her major role within CELH.

Wedding ceremonies led by Susan and others at CELH are not ordinary, out-of-the-box, ceremonies. Each wedding is custom planned and orchestrated to meet the needs of the couple being married. In order for Susan to familiarize herself with the goals,intentions, and the love the couple has for one another, it is customary for Susan to meet with the couple at least twice before the ceremony.

Susan is also an accomplished vocalist with 4 recordings and is able to sing with accompaniment when requested.
