RESERVE MY SPOT for the open house


It starts with a belief about you


Underneath recurring patterns of anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, and burnout lies a cause that is rarely addressed. 

​At the root of psychological suffering is a set of core beliefs you formed about yourself in childhood. Over the years, these beliefs became your accepted identity, and they've been running the show ever since.



A Simple, Proven, Life Changing Process

The Six Steps to Freedom, at the heart of the Choose Again practice, is a self-guided process that gives you the means to identify and correct these beliefs yourself, for life. When the belief changes, everything built on top of it changes.

A life-changing experience to go there and worth every penny! The centre of El Cielo is exactly how the name says… heaven on earth! It is peaceful and the staff is incredibly supportive, loving and very experienced. I still dream about the most healthy, nourishing and delicious food. In the 10 days of the retreat, I have learned more about myself than in 4 years of continuous spiritual work. Thank you.

I've been twice to the centre and cannot say enough about it. The program itself is life changing and transformational and the location, people, and experiences are priceless.
