It was a very real and profound experience made three dimensional by an excellent group and people. It was very real, integrated, life changing experience in a very supportive shared space.’

The Retreat in Italy May 2006 at The Hill That Breathes

‘LFTH is a personal voyage of discovery into the deepest parts of me. It is about learning to be friends with myself, to nurture myself and be open to love all around me. It is about being alive, being awake and being free to love.’

‘I have discovered something inside me which I thought was either non existent or forever hidden I hope I can continue to hold and nurture the gift I have found from within myself. LFTH is an amazing experience. In small steps it has allowed me to grow inwardly and reflect that outwards. I couldn’t imagine a safer or more supportive group experience.’

‘LFTH was challenging, full of light, laughter and deep significance for me. I gave me an opportunity to bond with nature and myself in a safe and sacred way.’

I will take away the love, the trust, the understanding and the acceptance I received. It is an experience not to be missed, but to be embraced with the knowledge that nothing is impossible to achieve.

Living from the Heart March 2006

“I gained an inner freedom, a chance to communicate in a non verbal manner. It was a blend of colour, love, and kindness. Drawing water from a well and using it to feed and nurture the whole garden. It gave me an opportunity to unfold, unpack and then rearrange. Thank you’

‘A beautiful and deep experience’

I enjoyed being given a spiritual space to experiment and grow; I gained self knowledge and development. It was Inspiring’

‘I feel privileged to have experienced a beautiful, healing, magical weekend. I am more in touch with my heart, accepting of my shadow. I feel greater trust, more open, more connected, more alive.’

‘Enlightening, life changing, empowering’

‘It was a journey of truth and inspiration. Peaceful, enlightening, refreshing and loving. I left realising compassion must begin with myself before I can extend it to others. Revelations’

I gained insight, energy, and calmness of sprit. It was challenging, inviting, surprising, enlightening. Should be compulsory for everyone.”

Living from the Heart May 2005

“I feel that there has been a series of shifts in my inner world and there is a greater sense of hope. It is like I have located a sacred part of me. I feel a fullness I can’t quite explain except to say I have experienced loving feelings without being afraid.”

‘I enjoyed the closeness that grew between members of the group. It is easy for me to think that I am the only one with ‘not good enough’ feelings, I identified with each member of the group in different ways. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to really get in touch with my feelings and live from the heart.”
