We held off on last Saturday's episode because of working on wrapping up a major phase of a new book project. But we didn't want to skip the week entirely. So here is a class by Sarah Clark on the Holy Guardian Angel. Sarah was our first guest and we received a lot of feedback on how much people enjoyed her interview and it helped them think more on their own possible pursuit of their angels. Hopefully this will add to it. This class was recorded a few years ago shortly after Sarah completed the retreat. So not only will it be able to give you more insight but it will also allow you to look a little bit at how Sarah's approach to talking about the experience has been shaped by further experience with her angel over time when considering this class relative to her recent interview! I hope you enjoy! Please share with friends if you've enjoyed this, and please follow us so you don't miss future updates! www.facebook.com/thecompanyofstars www.youtube.com/ararita418 Thank you!
