“I don’t know that I can find the words to fully describe the experience of this seminar. Open, raw, delicious, startlingly honest, challenging, and breathtakingly beautiful. It’s what education is truly meant to be — enlightening. In the process, my heart was filled with a joy that was at times, overwhelming. This retreat changed the way I walk through this world.”  — Sona Sood, Actress/Writer

“The event shot me into an unquestionably advanced state of being, more than I think I’ve ever known, pulsing in a more serene and clear state of awareness, moving forward with barely any sense of limiting weight, and in fluency between peers around me like we only read, see or hear about in works of fiction. It was a sublime state of existence.”
