When I think of all the miracles and blessings that happened on this weekend ...the more I think of what I received from everyone the more astounded I feel, and the more full of gratitude I feel.  

I  feel so honoured to have met everyone there. Till next time

Margaret de Bethlen, London

I enjoyed the openness, the welcome, the being held

Martyn Ruben, Berkhamstead

 

 

This is an opportunity to see ourselves face on, take responsibility for how we relate to others and ourselves and see we you sabotage our own dreams and integrity by staying small.  As within the circle, so outside the circle. Suddenly none of the excuses we use in 'normal' life carry any weight' and it becomes clear how we manifest these situations to perpetuate our perception of reality and can then continue blaming others for x, y & z. An invitation is presented to go inside ourselves... Bringing consciousness to that which is unconscious.

I learned how I hold myself back from being who I truly am, I realised how others are just as vulnerable as me, I had the opportunity to  express myself without being judged...priceless

Kim Rossi, Notts

 

Thank you for the opportunity  to be in the circle, to be with myself, with pain and with laughter ... I feel I have made huge progress ... being with what my partner is saying, feeling pain but taking responsibility for it ... I am taking real responsibility of my actions and thoughts, I am catching myself before I create dramas and tantrums ... Thank you Joy for giving me the opportunity to listen to myself, to continue seeking my truth and to take responsibility.

Denise C. London

 

absolutely wonderful a I’ve been feeling…  more myself, more real, more grounded, more “at home”… feel I let all the other participants in in a different way than I have in the past.
