“I have done a lot of personal development courses in my life of 60 years. Some of them were very good but what makes this course special is:

  • the originality and power of the underlying concepts; I have never met such a depth, richness and subtlety;
  • the international character of its participants which creates a very wide feeling and a great variety of mirrors;
  • the heartfelt ruthlessness which is practised: no sentimentality but honest looking at oneself and each other but always from an open heart and respect;
  • the emphasis on personal responsibility and ACTION: what am I going to DO?

What I personally experienced:

  • I enjoy so much to be part of a group of people who are willing to become real and put themselves on the line. It truly inspires me.
  • It also truly invigorates me physically to be in such a mood. I feel ageless; it's high time to let go of ideas about who I am.
  • I could see how often I play the little boy in relation to the woman I relate with, and how this calls forth the mother in her.
  • My heart knows so clearly what it wants: it's wide and fiery. It's adventure it wants.
  • Fear is a big factor in my life. I see it has to be tackled, otherwise it stops the flow and joy of life.
  • Taking ACTION is the key, instead of analysis-paralysis.
  • To be truly alive needs ALL of me, all of my courage.
  • What resounded deeply was trust in my ability to hunt, that I have all the answers.

It was a privilege to do this course together with the woman I am sharing my life with.
Elizabeth is leading the course in a very clear and ruthlessly loving way. She is a great example.”
