Here are what some recent participants
in an Open Door Seminar had to say:
"I have spent so much of my life building
a wall around myself that it continues to be a struggle for me. I am a good
builder...until recently the mortar joints were perfect and the inside was well
polished and pleasing to me. I even had some trompe l'oeil windows on there
so I thought I could see out. Since I met you both I started scuffing the walls
and even have managed to knock some bricks loose. I quickly shoved them back
in, but they didn't seem to fit just as well and a bit of light was seeping
in around them. At first the light was blinding, but I am slowly getting used
to it now. I have felt recently that my wall has been losing some of its structural
integrity. I have been thinking a lot about the wall and it has occurred to
me to start shoring it up again, but I realize that that is not the best way
to go for me.
I have noticed an interesting change in perspective surrounding the joblessness
issue today as well. Today I am glad I am not working because I am having time
to reflect and solidify my experience on the weekend. I have always done the
typically male thing of identifying who I am with what I do and joblessness
and being unable to support myself has been a huge issue for me. Interesting
that I should be a "Manager" in my career when I can't even manage
my own feelings and emotions effectively. I have allowed the job and being a
"provider" to define my existence as a person and as a man and it
doesn't seem to have worked so far so I am trying hard to change it. Someone
on the weekend asked me what I really wanted to do and I deflected in my usual
way before admitting to wanting to be an artist. I was telling Susan about my
ideas and she said that my face lit up when I spoke about it. At the moment
I don't think I can be a starving artist, although starving for a bit might
do me some good too lol.
I really just wanted to express my gratitude for
your influence in my life and for the effort you make for the groups you run.
Thanks for listening....Love you both"
"Please, receive my gratitude and thanks for
this incredible,terrific experience during last 3 days. I never met before people
as you, who can sometimes be as profound as gurus, sometimes mischievous as...mischievous
children, and sometimes just as vulnerable as we all are. I am reminded of the
proverb:" When you are ready-the teacher is coming", and feel twice
lucky to meet you both....Love you both"
"I would love to see
you here, and for you to meet and spend time with Sarah & Ashanti. I can't
tell you how much their presence has been a blessing in my life, and I know
you will find a similar experience. Sometimes love has wings, other times love
has a face (or two faces); Sarah & Ashanti are the face of love. This weekend
will be a gift, I hope you will make yourself part of the gift we'll all give
each other as we spend this time together."
"I enjoyed the weekend
very much and at this point still have little pain and less stress. I am interested
in any other weekends of this sort both for my own self care and for some of
my past clients..... I will try an Enlightenment Intensive one of these months
but I will wait until my back stabilizes further. My enlightenment progresses
as the flash of a match struck in a large dark room and I always need time to
meditate on what I saw in that flash. Thank you for the flashes. I supply the
dark room."
"What I got this weekend:
I had some deep shifts around going after what I want, not following the rules,
not being a good girl and not worrying about what people might think of me.
I got another cut on staying in the moment rather than going into the future.
I saw I spin out of control when I think I have to connect with people which
often has had me withdrawing from contact. When I am in the moment and am connecting
it's no problem. Then I got to see in my connection with 3 other participants
how far I've come in opening up and really being with people- warts and all.
Finally, I'm starting to see how critical it is to be around like-minded people."
"I want to thank you for the weekend and making it affordable. I have
taken this morning to reflect on what occurred for me over the weekend and wanted
to share this with you. I know I really love getting feedback about what my
working with another is like for them. I loved how you were together - there
was an ease and flow to it. Coming from a place of understanding that there
is nothing to fix and nothing works to fix the neurosis, I also enjoyed Sarah
saying that 'everything works'. Personally I had lots of energy to release and
so the individual energy release work was very valuable to me and readily available."
