"If you have been feeling stuck, reactive, joyless... if you know that you have buried trauma but can't see yourself settling in for months or years of therapy... then this forum is for you. The intentional space and incredibly dedicated volunteers will help you find the awareness you have been craving and release the pain you have been saving – all while feeling supported, seen and safe." – Casandra

This is my second workshop experience… The first one was magical and since then I’ve made so many changes in my life and my life has gotten so much better. So I came to this workshop and at the end of it I was able to write down the beliefs about myself that no longer serve me, and make choices about how I want to live going forward… I don’t have to live in the house that fear built anymore. – Kylie

“I can’t recommend this workshop enough. I will say you’ll need to find your courage and be brave, but you’ll have more support than you can imagine. If you want to make a real, fundamental change – this workshop has all the potential to rock your world!” – Sara M.

My heart has opened so much… I’m here, and I can be present, and I can respond. I mean, I falter all the time, but I know I have the capacity and I know I have the power to change since the workshop. Thank you. – Lauren

“You can’t put a price tag on the experience — it’s worth a thousand times more than what I paid. The openness and freedom I feel are beyond description!” – Nick

“If you are craving a complete shift in your body, mind and emotions, you must try this work.” – Jen

“I’ve never felt a space so safe to expose my heart and soul.” – Bryan

It’s hard to believe that whole thing happened online. There’s no way to describe it – it was amazing, I feel changed afterward. My ego has tried to keep me from trying something like this for a long time and I don’t know how I finally found the courage to just do it. I found the courage to be vulnerable, to love and accept myself… I’m so grateful that I did it. – Mike

This weekend was amazing. I was surprised at the online experience… I’m very appreciative of the way it was set up… My biggest takeaway is this compassion and empathy for everything in the world. – Joanne

I feel like this weekend was an initiation of sorts. Since the weekend there’s been a lot of stillness in my life, a lot of being, a lot of feeling. That feeling has been very healing. Main takeaway was the message of love – understanding and feeling love in a completely new way, for myself and others. – Marisol

I don’t think there’s anywhere in the world I’ve felt so much love from so many people at once… – Alicia

I’ve been to every different kind of therapist/psychologist/life coach there is, I’ve done Adult Children of Alcoholics and AA, I’ve read “all the books.” These workshops are SINGLE HANDEDLY the most important experiences of my life when it comes to shedding the crap. – Anna H.

Too much of my experience was couched in my mind’s ability for critique, criticism and judgment. This workshop allowed me to realize this clouded view and enabled me to allow my heart to open and develop. – Paul

The highlight of my experience was being in the workshop with my mom…feeling exquisite love through the computer screen, seeing the conditions I’ve put on my loving and all the relationships where that’s played out… There’s no exception to the rule of unconditional loving. – Shannon F.

“I’d been covering myself with all of the positivity I’d been hiding behind. And I got to drop beneath that to face what was really going on underneath. I got to drop in and start to own more of my life and my experience. I’m so grateful to this space and everyone here to help me discover and allow more of myself.” – Chris

“I felt like I really let my mom off the hook. I’m ready to take responsibility for my life. I saw the patterns of the generations before me and really let them go.” – Elena

“This is what I’ve been searching for all my adult life. I have worked so hard to get where I am…therapy, chanting, yoga, self help books, meditation, church, and in 48 hours I am free of the chatter, my heart is open to love, and I am able to create and maintain clear boundaries.” – Terri

“If you really want to change your life and do it from a place of total support and love come to a workshop. Life changing things happen!” – Beverly

“I AM. I haven’t felt this light, peaceful and less distracted in over 20 years. I have been the recipient of tools to now work with in my daily life, allowing my ego and mind to be quiet. I feel loved, I feel worthy of love and I am open to giving love like no other time in my adult life. I am humbled and grateful for my workshop experience, the love and support that I I have been afforded and the ability to bring what I have learned and will continue to learn in all my relationships, especially those with myself, my wife and children.” – Lorne

“And to think that I’ve travelled the world searching for ME, searching for my happiness…In retrospect, I was always leaving home to those far and wide places to get away from me. To get away from home. And after spending another weekend with the Awareness Institute, I discovered that the whole time, happiness is right inside me. And it feels SO good to be home. I could stay home forever and never be bored again. But more importantly, I feel peace and contentment for all that I am – and all of the errors I dreamed up inside me.” – Krista

“I blamed my mom for so much of my trauma. But I see now she gave me everything she had. It really transformed my perception. I walked out of the workshop and really wanted to hug my mom. And that’s not something I’d wanted to do before. I realized that my mind was filled with personal turmoil. And I was finally able to release so much of that pressure that I’d been holding onto for so many years. Sunday was the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. I didn’t want to leave. It was life changing. I’m so glad I went.” – Justin

I had no idea what to expect, and I felt so connected, so real, it was beautiful for me. I’ve never dropped in, I’ve never felt or explored my feelings in my entire life. You guys have made a safe space to really really feel and be truthful with myself and it was just amazing… I’ve never really explored my family and how I grew up, and I had a lot of great realizations this weekend that hopefully I can keep exploring and really make the change that’s necessary in my life. Thank you guys, it was really really beautiful and amazing. – Morey

“On paper I had the makings of a very happy life, yet I carried around a feeling of dissatisfaction because I was deeply in need of something I could not put a name to. During my first workshop I realized I had so many negative feelings shoved deep down inside me that were stressing me out and constantly making me feel frustrated, irritable, and tired. After learning how to thoroughly process these feelings I am feeling lighter, calmer, and more dialed in on a daily basis. I am no longer struggling to quiet my mind-chatter while meditating, and I now know how important it is for me to better connect with those around and me and with myself. I’m learning to recognize how my immediate fear reactions cause a mental and emotional downward spiral and I’m beginning to more quickly identify them as they show up, which is a great tool to have. Thank you!” – Linda
