The way all the different elements of the workshop came together. It was all aligned and made sense on a deep deep level: the way you were guiding the time, the space, us the participants, the communication before coming, the general atmosphere, the way you dealt with “unexpected moments” was especially impressive for me: the moment with another participant getting floode d at the very end, it was amazingly beautiful, touching and strong for me, how you listened and found a way, soft and true and hyper attentive, to understand what is going for her without entering even a little into a personal conflict or taking anything personally. This was extremely powerful for me and in a way empowered my whole perception of the workshop in retrospective, and made me “believe” my own experience even more. The work you did with us feels very WHOLE and integrated from your side as facilitators and therapists, which was for me very helpful.

It met my expectations by a 1000x.  Two ‘problems’ were addressed and they seem to be ‘solved’.

Apart from the insights I have gained in this workshop, what I liked best was that Bodhi conveyed instructions and her impressions in a way that were never that of a therapist. It was as if she was one of us. It was a refreshing experience! Because of this I felt respected, I could trust in her because I saw her maturity and felt safe to go deep inside myself and bring up my innermost memories.

There was harmony. Very flowing and organic, harmonious. Could not be better. I enjoyed the flexibility and creativity of the team. Open to new ideas and approaches. Giving freedom to the participants and to themselves.

A few things have changed already. I already feel more rooted in myself and trusting my instincts. Feel less shy. More self-esteem.

As well the information you gave at that moment regarding the phases: beginning, middle, end etc, regarding processes in life in general is mind blowing and makes me realize patterns which cause me sufferings. It prepared me for knowing that actually after the workshop I will normally experience a down and a feeling of isolation which I then realized relate to me being taken immediately after my birth and not put for some time on my mother, and as well not being breastfed at all. So this feeling of isolation is something I experience after every process and project I do, and this time, because of the awareness, thanks to this last moment with the other participant – I didn’t have it!!!!!!!! This is huge for me.

Another very significant thing was the meeting with the other participants: people I’m not sure I would have met in any other context in my life. And I feel them as they have been teachers for me,  for very specific and concrete issues in my life.

Your recommendation for the integration and how to appreciate and give space to the people in my life that eventually allowed and supported my coming, not telling them immediately what happened for me, was very helpful! It made me realize this support, even if very indirect one, and your guidance in how to act with them on the first meeting made a whole sense and even made freedom for me to be free from the feeling that I “have to tell and share” or something like that.

It’s early to say concretely but I already feel this week that has passed since we ended the workshop, that on a deep level some things shifted internally. I realize the quickness I live in and how it’s often a trigger for disconnection. I learnt on a physical level the power of a pause. Something I knew mentally before but now the body really feels a clear need for pause and I can feel it as a signal to listen to. Also in terms of relationships and the principles you put forward, I feel them extremely significant and respectful, coming from the heart. I’m not sure I’m applying them YET but I feel their value and their truth.

In regards to the specific topic of my session, I feel a lot has been released from my system. I don’t know yet what it would mean in terms of action but there is something lighter in me and a feeling that a lot of realizations are still constantly descending through me and get articulated, which I enjoy and very grateful for.

My heart expanded and I feel it still does 🙂
