Meet William & Quiana

When you choose a facilitated retreat, you get the best that two world-class facilitators can give. William and Quiana are partners in love and work, and each brings over 35 years’ experience facilitating innovation and transformation, and coaching professionals to heightened levels of productivity, emotional intelligence, inspired leadership and creative expression.

In their 20+ year relationship, the couple has continuously challenged themselves and one another to be their best selves, to exalt love between them and to return to love anytime connection is lost. When working together, they bring the strengths of the sacred masculine and sacred feminine to support their clients’ awareness and growth from both perspectives.

 “William and Quiana offer themselves fully, honestly, creatively and lovingly. They have the mature capacity to enter into your world, see what it is you most want and need, and offer support in helping you get it.”     
~ Peter K
William is a professionally trained coach and graduate of 5 different leadership programs and his heart-directed coaching experience.

He brings to the party decades of individual and group facilitation, innovation training and team-building experience with Fortune 500 marketing teams, non-profit organizations, post-Apartheid teens in South Africa, married couples and weekly men’s transformation groups.

William sources his wisdom from a rich and varied life journey – as a struggling grad student getting by on PB&J and ramen noodles, a professional soccer player, a restaurant manager, an AA member, a landscape architect, a strategic relations director of an anti-bullying non-profit, a co-director with his wife, Quiana of 3 international yoga wellness resorts, a labyrinth designer & builder, a co-owner of an 8-million-dollar consulting company and a highly sought-after men’s coach and mentor.

William has range!

Embark on a Journey of Self-Discovery & Creative Inspiration

Raven’s Walk
(Meditation Labyrinth)

If you’re unfamiliar with a labyrinth, it’s not a maze, which is a puzzle with lots of twists and turns and dead ends to confuse you. A labyrinth is a meandering pattern created on the ground, with no high walls, and with a singular path that leads you to its center, and the same path leads you back out again. Labyrinths are an ancient archetype dating back 4,000 years or more, used as a metaphor for life, a walking meditation, a quiet walk for inspiration or the site of rituals and ceremonies such as weddings and graduations.

Labyrinths are tools for personal, psychological and spiritual transformation, also thought to enhance right-brain activity. Labyrinths evoke metaphor, sacred geometry, spiritual pilgrimage, religious practice, mindfulness, environmental art and community building.

William has been a labyrinth designer and builder since 2000 and has created this beautiful version at Raven’s Landing. It has stones and various other objects separating the paths which are made of crushed red volcanic rock. Raven’s Walk Labyrinth is also surrounded by more than a dozen rare yellow rhododendron plants and purple lavender whose blooms can be enjoyed in mid-Spring. Walking the pattern by quiet moonlight enables you to hear the nearby crashing ocean waves, harbor horn and the occasional bark of distant sea lions.

Retreatants are welcome to walk the labyrinth at their leisure, and William offers facilitated walks that can further enhance personal insight, inspiration and growth.

Raven’s Wheel
(Medicine Wheel)

The Medicine Wheel, sometimes known as the Sacred Hoop, has been used by generations of various indigenous peoples for decision-making, wisdom-teaching and healing the Great Hoop of Life. As a whole, the wheel resembles a compass for human understanding, and reminds us of the interconnectedness and cyclical nature of all Life. In this way, the medicine wheel contains important teachings and can be used as a guide on one’s journey.

The design of Raven’s Wheel originates with the Earth Wisdom Teachings of the Delicate Lodge, also known as the Beauty Way. This wisdom was handed down to Quiana and William by their teachers, RainbowHawk, WindEagle and WhiteEagle Woman. This lineage sources from the Mayan people. Their sacred bundle of teachings wove in the traditions of the indigenous peoples they encountered as they moved into North America.

Raven’s Wheel embodies the four cardinal directions plus the four intermediary directions of southeast, southwest, northwest and northeast. Each direction is indicated by a pole with a different colored ribbon.

Ask us about receiving a guided personal ceremony, Wisdom Council or teachings from the Beauty Way lineage.

Raven’s Bounty
(Woodland Paths
& Garden)

Multiple paths can be found throughout the 3.25-acre Raven’s Landing property, and it’s entirely fenced, so you can’t get lost… unless you want to! Quiet strolls and a handful of seating areas provide numerous opportunities to reflect, renew and to reconnect with the spirit and creativity of Nature. In season, you'll also discover multiple varieties of wildlife, mushrooms, rhododendron, ferns and huckleberries.

The private inner garden can be visited by appointment. The layout includes 3 circles, multiple paths, sitting spaces and a plethora of ornamental flowers, shrubs, fruits and vegetables. The circles were designed based on the Golden Mean and exhibit the energies of water, fire and earth.
