qoya the book

"Qoya has shifted so many things in my life and hearing Rochelle describe her journey personally in the audio book just enriched the whole process. If you tend to be in your head and not in your body. If you want to heal your relationship with your feminine power, I encourage you to check out the book."

"Rochelle Schieck's journey to joy is contagious. Her book should be required reading for all on their path to remembering. I thank her for birthing this book. It is a pleasure to carry with me and reread when called. It is truly an oracle to the collective soul."

"Great book to read especially in your 20s or 30s, but really could suite any age. Women tend to follow similar paths with men & it's important to finally break free in order to truly live & love. Rochelle offers a movement practice for those who don't already have one, or in addition to what you already do. Check out her videos and classes. I personally have found it essential to do similar movement every single day."

"In my energy healing journey, I've learned that I can take in a new understanding, a new way of thinking and BE-ing at the mental level, but to truly BE that new vibration, I must do the EMBODIMENT work to fully bring the experience of the new (teachings) vibration into every aspect of my being--into my cells, into my heart, into my mind, into my soul."

"I read this book as a companion to Rochelle's Call to Create online course. The course was a blast -- lots of dancing - as - meditation, experiential and community exercises. But it wouldn't have been the same without the depth added by the book. Rochelle is the real deal -- vulnerable, brave, a longtime seeker and student of ancient traditions. Her book captures she wisdom she discovered and connected to through her journey. I highly recommend checking out her website, and looking at some of the free videos if you don't find a class or retreat nearby. The dancing is where it all comes together!"

"I absolutely adore Rochelle and this book! Qoya, the book, tells the story of Rochelle's lived experience and provides numerous practical experiments on how you can also create and experience an embodied life guided by your own intuition. My favorite thing about Qoya is that it provides invitations to MOVE and remember who you really are - without all the noise of "shoulds" that come in loudly from the external world. Read this book and actually do the practices - it truly changed my life!"

"The book Qoya is a heartfelt account of a life long experiment, a journey of awareness and courage that is told with such reverence and candidness that you can live the experiences yourself as you read along. We can all relate to the journey and find wisdom through Rochelle's reflection and deep self realization and insight...What an honor to hear these stories and the learn the practices that she offers to help embody more the truth of our souls. A must read for anyone interested in soul/heart centered living."

"I knew I'd love Rochelle Schieck's book, before it was even released, but I had no idea that it would take space in my restless heart as a beloved and constant companion and I had no clue that it would whisper love songs of compassion and understanding to my faithful soul. All heaven broke loose when the Audible version of Qoya was released because I now had this luscious delight of a book and there was the divine angel fairy Rochelle Schieck reading it to me!"

"Rochelle Schieck has spoken directly to my heart and soul with this book. Not only are the chapters easy to digest, but the rituals/pilgrimages something I intend on incorporating into my life as soon as possible! Qoya as a movement practice has opened my heart to a depth of exploration I hadn't been previously, and now the book helped/helps me anchor Qoya into my daily life."

"This is the book your soul has been craving. In a world that celebrates 'I want what I want when I want it', Qoya invites the reader to take a conscious breath and languish in that kind of storytelling that makes you feel like you're listening around a fire...hanging on every word. Then sprinkled with exercises, ceremony and rituals that deepen your own practice to simply be for yourself....or shared with your tribe."

"What a beautiful book! As I've been diving in, I'm finding truths which resonate within me deeply as woman and a healer. This books offers personal stories, wise truths, and practical tools to help you cultivate your relationship with your intuition and with the divine. I know it's a book I will come to over and over again to connect with beautiful rituals and practices to keep cultivating a deeper connection to myself. Thank you Rochelle for sharing your heart in this way."

"Funny, touching, and inspiring, Rochelle’s book is a wonderful mix of memoir and spiritual guidebook. She draws from her own experiences as well as the ancient wisdom traditions and provides practical guidance for how to connect more deeply with yourself and the world around you. This book is incredibly honest and insightful and contains the kind of timeless wisdom that is a boon to any seeker new or old, man or woman, young or elderly. Thank you, Rochelle!"

"Qoya is by far the most heartfelt, inspiring book I've read since Eat Pray Love. The infusion of rituals with reverence, how to travel and pilgrimage with intention, the notion that movement can be a prayer and that our body ultimately knows the truth for whatever answer we need has shifted my consciousness in a profound way. Thank you Rochelle for writing this book. I cannot wait to continue to share this with my dearest friends and community."

"This book is one of my favorite books of all time. I know this is high praise, but it really is true. This book was a page-turner for me. I simply could not put it down and read it from cover to cover in a weekend. Wise, Wild & Free is her mantra and every chapter is as evocative as this phrase. We all want to feel at home in our bodies, full in our hearts and connected with the pulse of life and of love in the world and Qoya is a map for doing that."

"This book is like a long, deep breath: 1 part the relief of an exhale from your body as you read the words of a woman telling the truth of her life and sharing her wisdom: thoughts that your soul has always known but couldn't articulately express and 1 part the fulfillment of an inhale as you practice the exercises and rituals outlined in the book to experience your own remembering of your feminine essence, the divine that lives within. This book and Qoya are much needed medicine for these times, delivered in a way that is relatable, accessible and undeniably powerful. Every woman has within her a Queen, and the practice of Qoya is the solution to uncover it."

"Rochelle has an uncanny ability to source the intangible stirrings of the heart and soul and put exquisite, clear and uplifting words to our inner world. This book is a token of a woman's incredible journey to know her heart and soul in the most intimate ways possible - and offers her readers the opportunity to do exactly the same. This book will compel you to opt for the higher road of the soul - the road far less traveled - in the most willing and wanting ways. QOYA has changed my life and the community in which I want to live. Nothing but kudos and the highest accolades for this read!"

"Raw and wonderful stories, tenderly told. This is a delicious read---and an invitation into a way of being that is thoroughly of this moment in time, yet informed by ancient wisdom. This book does not preach wisdom from on high. Rather, it lays bare the reality of what so many of our lives are really all about: loving, seeking, healing, and all the while trying to remember who we are."

"I really loved this book. Rochelle courageously reveals her stories of love, magical connections, letting go and living a life of reverence, honoring the sacred each step of the way. The writing is beautifully clear and so rich. I highly recommend this book and though I read through this in just a few days, I am now going back to savor the wisdom here at a slower pace because there is so much to digest - she has filled each page of this book with inspiration and tips for living a life that is wise, wild and free. This book is a beautiful guide for embodying the truth of your soul and connecting to the deep wisdom within one's own body."

"This is a truly special book that I would encourage everyone to read. The authenticity that the author uses in writing and telling her stories creates a landscape where, I believe, everyone will find something that they deeply resonate with. This book acts as a map for finding your way back to your truest and highest self. And, it WORKS!"

"My experience in reading this book was very similar to what I experience when I practice Qoya movements. I felt led deep within myself to discover inner reflections, insights, and my shadow side. I laughed, cried, celebrated, and by the end I felt better than I did before. Thank you Rochelle for this delightfully rich journey your book took me on. I recommend this book for anyone looking for an enlightened adventure."
