"Dear Grandfather Lench
Thank you for saving my life.
I did come desperate. Every second of every day was filled with anguish, terror, pain. I just wanted death to come. I would wish I had cancer instead of all this pain. I don’t need to even speak these words anymore. We all know, I know, my family knows, I was gone. A walking working skeleton. Doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. I was diagnosed with 3 rare blood type diseases. Despite hours of time and thousands of do..."

"My Experience

As I sit here and think about how much I have grown and changed simply because of a different way of seeing and listening to things around me and most importantly how I CHOOSE to react to these things I find myself at a loss for words. I mean how do you put a life changing experience into words so that people can truly understand the depth of it…
There was a time when my life was so full of hurt, disappointment, anger, resentment, depression, you name it, I felt ..."

"Grandfather Lench is a gift to this world. He is a wise teacher. What makes him even more special is his beautiful heart. He will challenge you in ways you could never imagine. You will walk away, knowing exactly what you need to ( in order to both face yourself and live your purpose in this life). There is nowhere to hide in the desert, and yet through its beauty and magic, you will uncover things you didn't even know about yourself. You will leave with a lighter heart and a newfound sense o..."

"I spent three weeks with Grandfather Lench in Arizona City and it was a truly life changing experience. He is a master teacher and knew exactly what I needed to look at, even when I didn't. There was a perfect balance between learning something new every day, connecting with the creative part of myself through poetry and learning to make sacred tools to use in my own spiritual practice and the incredible experience of entering the Sacred Sonoran desert. There is so much beauty, history and..."

""Sometimes, in our way of life, we forget our song. There is a song, in the desert, that speaks to the heart."
After raising my 4 sons and always taking care of everyone else it was time to find myself again. I was lost, without my own identity, feeling very much alone. The 5 Day Desert Intensive was a lot of hard work taking me way outside my comfort zone. Grandfather Lench gave me the tools to begin my journey to find my own voice, my song. It was an emotional soul searching journey ..."

"I was very lucky to have the honor to meet this incredible man, don Lorenzo, a Yaqui Indian and Nagual from Arizona. I was a point in my life when I needed guidance. One day, something brought my attention to a video in which don Lorenzo was speaking and I knew immediately I had to meet him! So I made a trip to Arizona. I arrived tom his house in the very late hours! I was nervous of the fact it’s already late and don Lorenzo had invited a stranger to his house at this hour! Well, what can ..."

"“In the desert it is hard to hide from your shadow...so when with Grandfather Lench I have learned to always expect the unexpected. With the wisdom of the ancient ones, Grandfather Lench has helped me get back to nature and get deeper in touch with my own spirituality.
While he has challenged much in my comfort zone, my time with him has always been magical!

Over the years he has provided me with many tools and practices that have been guiding lights in creating clarity and ins..."

"The time with Grandfather Lench, his teachings and the desert offered an extraordinary “classroom” in which I could explore the depths of my inner journey. While I have been advised about the folly of having expectations, I am human and often do. I expected the desert to be arid and desolate. To my unrelenting surprise, my time with the desert intensive revealed endless diversity and dimension. Echoes of what I glimpsed and grounded in the desert are with me in the present moment as my jou..."

"Working with don Lorenzo was a life-altering experience. I have done a great deal of transformational work, and as a Spiritual Teacher myself I knew I needed a highly evolved soul to work with. Don Lorenzo filled those shoes with grace and compassion. His powerful teachings and wisdom not only guided me back to my indigenous roots but has given me the knowledge I needed to bring back to my spiritual community. I highly recommend don Lorenzo Archuleta."

"I thought I knew what I wanted coming to Grandfather Lench. To find clarity on jobs, passions, creations. All the physical things in my life I pay way too much attention to. Being in the desert with Grandfather has cleared the way to show me what’s actually important. Being happy."

"Words can not describe how meeting and spending time with Lench changed my life, it is felt within and it also now carries rippling outwardly. I refer to him as one of my favorite people and teachers I have ever met in my life because he teaches with the heart and somehow like master leaders and teachers do, he lets everyone lead, including the plants and rocks and the entire web . I gained some deep teachings that are still playing out in me through the ants in his backyard and think of him ..."
