“For me the biggest thing was going through the journey with others …. One of the biggest challenges of quitting my job was feeling like I was doing it alone. Going through this with other people made a huge difference.” — Samantha, Professional Services Expert in London, U.K.

“The last two months have added a lot to my vocabulary of being. I learned that what we choose to listen to and what we choose to ignore is also an act of expression: what I choose to let into my space, my psyche, and what I choose to accept…. It gave me the space to listen to the sound of my own voice.” — Subarna, Student in New Delhi, India

“I can’t tell you how much this course held a mirror up to my experience : it was revelatory.”— Matthew, Yoga Instructor in Colorado, USA

I am also now looking at how relationships and people can become containers for me to thrive.” — Luyi, Learning Experience Designer in Vancouver, Canada

“I’ve come away with a lot these seven weeks. …This course gave me what I needed that I didn’t know I needed: permission to boldly make choices. Every time I’ve mentioned working on getting unstuck, I talk about the Wisdom Workshop, and recommended this experience as a format to everyone.”— Simi, Global Educator in Toronto, Canada

"I feel more present and took some of our daily prompts into great conversations with others. As much as I learned from the group, I started learning even more from the people I have around me whole life.”— Daniel, Educational Entrepreneur in Mexico City, Mexico

“This course has made me feel so much more free and so much more calm. I don’t need to have my whole life figured out — I can just do my best today.
