When her marriage ended, Irene Brennick was left with two small children and little capacity to support her family.

Welcome to a new paradigm of assistance through Sensory Awareness Facilitating anyone or any project is about listening without barriers or judgments. Listening without judgment always reveals a direction of movement toward what works. A facilitative Presence generates movement and actions from a place of pure creation that fully supports long-term success and fruition in all ways. Any moment of Presence can open the way to clarity and insight fully congruent with Divine, Universal Intelligence. With Presence as the priority, each one does affect the whole. Harmony generates itself. Why This? Why Now? Humanity has an unprecedented opportunity at this time in all of history. Teachings for thousands of years have guided the spiritual growth and expansion of Humanity. For these same thousands of years, individuals in groups both small and large have listened to the teachings, taken them to heart and have assisted to steer the consciousness of Humanity back toward a living, breathing connection with all of life. For thousands of years we have been dancing in an experiment to see whether Humanity, given free will to either create or destroy would move toward Creation or Self-destruction. Previously, Humanity took the experiment to destructive conclusions...several times. This time in all of history is unprecedented, ripe with new opportunities for new outcomes because this time... ...humanity is moving toward love.
