PRAISE FOR BOB'S SOUL MEDICINE COURSE
"Taking part in the Soul Medicine program was an incredibly powerful experience for me. It was a deep dive into unexplored facets of myself, and it helped me to identify my own gifts as a healer and better communicate what I offer to others. Bob is an invaluable guide, with great attention to each and all in the program, who knows how to bring all the participants on board and create a community of amazing people to move toward ever greater authenticity! I highly recommend this intense and transformative journey."

"I have been a practitioner and teacher of the Healing Arts for the past 40 years. I have had the pleasure of observing Bob teach and share his knowledge of healing techniques in group settings and concur that Bob is a natural when it comes to sharing and passing on tools of self-discovery to others so they too may recognize and utilize their own gifts. Learning from Bob has brought a sense of acceptance and community for me. Just knowing that I am not alone has brought me so much comfort. Being a participant in Bob’s program has re-ignited my own love and joy of sharing and teaching “Sacred Life Ways.” I highly recommend Bob’s program to anyone seeking to bring their own unique gifts forward by awakening the healer within."

"Bob’s Soul Medicine program changed me because it taught me to face my emotions and pain and illness without getting attached to them. What I learned is that you really need to be healing yourself in order to heal others. When the class finished, I felt I am fine, I can help others by being myself and that “the path has found me again!” My advice to anyone considering signing up for Soul Medicine with Bob is to first ask yourself, “Where am I standing?” Second, ask yourself, “Am I willing to face my own shadow and then step in to help others with an open heart?” So if you want to really get to know yourself and what that deep self knowledge has to do with healing others, then study with Bob. If not, don’t study with him."

PRAISE FOR BOB'S HEALING SERVICES
"I have been learning from Robert Vetter about various anthropological subjects for over 30 years. He has introduced me to ceremonies, elders, healing modalities and histories of different indigenous groups. I am proud to now call him my friend."

"There is a purity to Robert Vetter’s presence when he is listening (engaging in a platica) - he watches the way our answers move through us, then gently guides us to the seed of the issue. I’ve observed him over many years hold space this way with countless people, including my 13 year old son and my 73 year old father. So grateful to have this healer in our lives."

"I have always been very interested in the healing practices of indigenous cultures. At 16 years old, I shyly asked if I could join Bob's training group. He welcomed me with open arms. He is such a generous teacher. He shares his knowledge, experience and love for healing without expecting anything in return except our reverence for this sacred medicine."
