"It is an honor to know Grandfather Lench...a man of beautiful humbleness and quiet power. His teachings will stay with you for life, but you must want whatever it is your spirit is lacking.
My name is Rebecca, I am an herbalist, massage therapist and nurse. I found Grandfather Lench’s, website not even looking for it and now know a beautiful fate stepped in at the time in my life I was feeling very unbalanced.
I had the honor of staying at his guest house with all the hand made things he has made and you could see he put his heart and soul into everything. Thought provoking books i have since bought...frayed pages now, read and read. Inspiring people every turn with sayings that bring you to tears. You feel like you’re home.
Grandfather Lench has a smile that is like a ray of sunshine, aura of light that makes you feel as if an ancient wisdom is in your presence. The way he provokes you to look inside yourself is like a switch being turned on and you realize....It’s ok.
I have learned many things from Grandfather Lench, the power of nature, the desert, the four legged and the winged ones. I carry this with me every day. Use it as an herbalist.
I have had the pleasure of visiting Grandfather Lench a few more times and have had the honor of participating in beautiful ceremonies and you can see the glow on all his guests. I forever carry this wisdom...a teacher of the spirit. Grandfather Lench I am enriched in my life and you encouraged me....Thank you"

"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 magic to be found in this desert; the mighty and ancient Saguaro Cactus; the excitement of wondering what type of wildlife may show up on my journey; the Kachina Spirits found in the mountains; and the sacred journeys I experienced, to name just a few of the wonders of this magnificent place.
I have also attended several workshops given by Grandfather Lench and each and every time I have had a significant 'Aha' moment; that moment when something I knew intellectually, or may not have even been conscious of, became a true knowing and integrated into my being in a completely new way.
My life has changed significantly since connecting with this amazing Medicine Man. I feel very blessed and look forward to continued trips to the peaceful sanctuary of the desert and the power of Grandfather Lench's teachings."

"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 dollars of medicine and supplements, and books and trying dozens of holistic and alternative doctors, my body was not responding. I just kept getting more ill. Mental health issues (swelling in the brain) a side effect of my blood disorders. I was going crazy.
I was losing my mind, losing weight, losing my appetite, losing my friends. I isolated myself. I lost my desire to go on. My body was factually/scientifically failing and it was only a matter of time. I was desperate and so was my family.

On a desperate, insane whim, I flew to Arizona to go see this Medicine Man my doctor friend suggested. I have my own business AND I’m a scientist! Go see Lench!! WAS I CRAZY!?? Knowing I could DIE, I left!

For the first time in years, my mind is clear! Grandfather Lench taught me how to ground myself, and I melted into the ground. I just felt intense feelings for like 10 or 20 seconds! WOW! I have to keep doing that! That was the beginning of my journey. There are no words to explain. I don’t care. I’m back. I’m here. I’m present! I LOVE MY FAMILY. I LOVE MYSELF. One week in the desert and I Feel for the first time in 8 years. Yes, I still have a long road ahead of me. I know. I have to practice what I was taught. But I want to! I feel hope for the first time in years. I’m not afraid to look ahead. My strength is coming back! It’s here! No drugs, no books, no Facebook groups, no doctors, just Grandfather Lench and the desert. I am truly blessed and I feel love in my heart. I hear my Song. I feel my smile, Family, I hope you hear me. You are beautiful! I am beautiful! I am grateful and honored. Thank you for saving my life Grandfather Lench."

"“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 insights in my professional and personal lives. Somehow Grandfather Lench has also called in energies that have raised my awareness and opened my imagination to many more possibilities”"

"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."

"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 journey continues at home in Vermont. This feels particularly poignant during the current historical moment in which the social distancing and potential inward focus prompted by the pandemic feel like a symbolic desert of sorts.
I believe the impact of my time with Grandfather Lench embodies a blend of ancient sacred wisdom and intuitive individualization. I felt seen, valued and challenged. In many ways, the learning was like looking into mirrors and through windows of the sacred outside and within myself—often while sitting on a rock or standing in the presence of a magnificent Saguaro. His spontaneous guidance and wisdom sprinkled the path with color, beauty, resilience, and magic alongside what could have otherwise appeared dark, prickly and ominous. I was invited to sense the sacred everywhere and create intimacy with nature herself. I was asked to write poetry about my experience and begin to create my own understanding of medicine, healing, and balance.
The world is changing, and it feels more important than ever to know how to navigate the parts of our lives that we can change and are called to change. Whether you are in search of a desert intensive, a workshop, or remote guidance, I Grandfather Lench’s presence and heart connection hold space for just the kind of changes that can contribute to inner balance and transformation."

""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 that helped me release things that were not serving me and begin to embrace my true self. My special Ceremony at Sacred Mountain at the end of my time with Grandfather Lench was magical and something I will cherish forever!"

"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 I say? My view completely changed when we met! Don Lorenzo is a man with a big heart who has the ability to see through your personality like an open book. Don Lorenzo showed me a completely different way to see the world! The window that he carries is a very special Wisdom that is being forgotten but needs to be preserved by everyone if we want to change the world we live in! Don Lorenzo opened my heart to the connection with Mother Earth and all the living things in the world we live but have forgotten! If you are someone walking this path I hope you have the honor and opportunity to meet this incredible man from the Arizona Desert!! The guidance I have received has changed my life!
Don Lorenzo has become not just my teacher and Gide, but a family to me! Thank you don Lorenzo for being a part of my journey!"

"Healing the wounds and healing the world one soul at a time. Grandfather Lench is a walker on a sacred path and one who guides those who work with him on an inspiring walk home to Self. Whether looking to heal from life trauma, ‘dis-ease’ or on a seekers journey Grandfather Lench will undoubtedly usher you along. He will guide you in a unique and likely, the most significant journey you will ever take.
Grandfather Lench is a raconteur, with a playfulness, and insightfulness that streams through each story. With integrity he holds a powerful, unfaltering crucible for healing whether it is in the desert, in a local park or in a workshop space. He reveres” the elephant in the room” and the genius that rests deeply veiled in the shadows. With insight he asks the tough questions, and subsequently invites the meaningful explorations that lead us to discover, recover and reclaim our ‘lost’ parts. He will not let you sneak out the back door on yourSELF as no stone is ever left unturned.
I met Grandfather Lench in Quebec, Canada in the early 2000’s. I remember the laughter that flew out of my body as he set up mousetraps on the floor. I knew this was going to be significant. It was then and there that I first discovered the strategies I was unconsciously running in my life for safety. This was the first time I had seen the unseen in me. This was the beginning of my journey home to my SELF. Since then I have travelled to the desert to explore more. Each time I “work” with Grandfather Lench I find my way deeper and deeper unraveling the truth of who I really am and coming hOMe. HOMe sweet hOMe.
I am eternally grateful to share every meaningful experience with Grandfather Lench including the playfulness and novelty blowing bubbles at the lake.
Aho!"

"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 it and it was just so chaotic…my life had turned into what I call a big loud noise that kept me from hearing, seeing, and feeling the important things.
I was lost…
As I searched for ways to get back to my true self, I realized that I had a great teacher within arm’s length. You see, Grandfather Lench is my father-in-law, and all though I kind of knew a little bit about what he teaches I was not ready to know.
I will always remember the day that I stood at his doorstep, I was at the lowest point in my life and I stood there in despair not knowing what the next minute would bring, oh and what a dark and scary place to be. When he answered the door, he said nothing, he looked into my eyes and simply reached his hand out to me as if to say “you are ready”, and that was the day that the journey back to myself started. Over time, I saw and heard so much and I learned that you don’t change by just standing still, you have to stand still and allow yourself to hear, see, breath, and feel the things around you in order to understand it and act from a place that very few people know that they have in them. I am different now, and although life hasn’t changed, I HAVE….
To experience it, is the only way that you could ever understand the depth of it…"
