“Thank you Elizabeth for the wonder-full gift you have enabled me to give to myself and those around me.

I have participated on almost all the courses that have been available to me over the last few years. What I can say is that these courses have given me the tools to change my life.

In Greece, there is what could be described as an admonition at the entrance to the ancient Temple of Apollo at Delphi. It reads "Know thyself". Delphi was a centre of learning and this admonition dated back to the time of Pythagoras or even as far back as the time of Orpheus. This is what Elizabeth Schnugh, though the Institute for the Study of Man is doing. Giving those who are willing to help themselves the tools they need to "Know thyself".

My life has changed because I have changed. In learning about who I am, I have uncovered many behaviour patterns that were keeping me stuck in old ways that no longer served me or those around me. My life has become a journey that is exciting, joy-full and much more fulfilling.

I feared conflict because I never learned how to handle it properly. What a difference it makes to know that it is OK to be vulnerable and to trust the process of life. I have learned that freedom comes from being defense-less, instead of trying to defend an image that everyone can see through. I am learning every day how to be real. :-)”
