Feedback for Arria
I am honoured to share some of what others have said about my work
Arria Deepwater is one of the most sincere people I have ever met. This level of authenticity translates perfectly into her stage presence, as she shares thoughts, insights, and guidance with her captivated audience. It is a rare gift to successfully stand on a stage and connect with an audience as an MC and even more rare to connect as a teacher. Arria Deepwater is one who has such a gift in both of these realms.
Arria is a born storyteller and true mystic. That combination spells Teacher to me, and the very best kind. Her words are gentle, her laughter frequent, and the message she imparts by her very presence is always clear.
Arria is a deeply inspired and highly engaging speaker who profoundly affects all those who have the fortune of sharing in her consciousness. She possess a unique ability to captive an audience while simultaneously creating an energized and eager space for a fellow presenter. Her keen ability to read an audience and her gentle incorporation of humour, culminate to lighten the energy of a room and spark a deep reverence and sense of the sacred.
