TESTIMONIALS – COURSE/WORKSHOPS

Nine Windows to Wholeness
with Dr. Pratibha Eastwood


"(I'm) inspired to change, to do more spiritual work."

Excellent facilitator-took us through difficult personal material quickly and safely.

"Very knowledgeable, organized, presented in an integrated manner....Fascinating. I'd like to learn more".

"I love the new perspective and approach."

"Totally inspired to continue exploring, to expand, to observe and enjoy the observation of self and 'other,'to joyfully continue on the path and enjoy the present, to be all I can be and am. To integrate and experience wholeness. Make it 2 days (maybe 2 different weekends) to give time for reflection Make it an ongoing group."

"Insight, revisit what I learned elsewhere (how some themes keep coming up)...it was really enjoyable and a great way to spend the day."

"Self discovery and awareness of symbols and numbers and connectedness to others."

"The benefits I walk away with are: 1) learning to embrace my shadows, 2) knowing our community is growing in like mindedness. This was very wonderful--I can't see room for improvement."
