Come to El Cielo to experience unavoidable love and peace! I had been studying A Course In Miracles for 3 years, and I did not know how to do a forgiveness which is the very goal of the course. The El Cielo forgiveness process makes forgiveness understandable and doable. The daily walks, the yoga and movement classes keep the body moving which is essential in processing emotion. I benefitted tremendously from the 2 sessions of holotropic breathing during which I was able to clear pre-verbal traumas. The food for 10 days, 3 meals a day is superb. 5 star delicious. The support and love from the staff is exceptional. This is love and peace with legs.

I have been in 12 step recovery for addiction for over 20 years. Although I have stayed sober, I have continued to struggle with depression. I have read dozens of books and studied several spiritual practices, but none of them presented me with what Choose Again did. If true happiness has illuded you, and you believe no human power can [help], there is a solution here.

How empowering is it to be told you have a choice, when it is said from an undeniable truth? You are either a victim or the master of the universe. The messengers are here at El Cielo in Costa Rica, and they offer you tools to unveil this opportunity and its potential. With forgiveness as a key, they allowed me time to discover my true self. They guided me through meditation, yoga and numerous contacts with nature, coaching and group therapy. In this heavenly place, they showed me a way to freedom from sadness, anxiety, and worthlessness to joy, peace and love. I am immensely grateful.

This program is worth every penny. It can't be [anything] other than changing my perspective of all my issues I am carrying with me. With a very diverse program my core is being touched in many ways. It made something free inside of me. In a very practical way, I can cope with my feelings, and [I don't] have to indulge in them. El Cielo is surrounded by Love.

After years of searching, I finally feel like I got to the bottom of why I live in a fear based mindset...It is my limiting negative belief system that I mistakenly adopted without even being aware of it. Best of all, I have learned tools, that when practiced, give me the choice to eliminate the false negative beliefs and choose a mindset of Love and TRUTH!

This experience quite literally saved my life. I went from being ready to end it all and drowning in my sorrows, being completely identified with my victimhood, to truly finding myself and reigniting my passion for life. If you are considering attending this workshop, do it, and jump with two feet in. This radically changed my outlook, and I will be forever grateful for the impact this had made on my life.

As a busy, working mom, I felt that I was 'destined' to be stuck in the rat race of life, putting everyone else first and never having the time for myself. Because of this belief I was unhappy and constantly looking to find love and relief in all the wrong places. Making the decision to come to El Cielo, to put myself first was the greatest gift I gave myself & my family. The program is designed to nourish your body and mind. The food is fantastic and the beauty in the silent walks took my breath away. Knowing and believing that I am joy and peace at my core and that it is only my choice to be anything but that has given me trust in myself to go towards love.

How does a mother ever get over the loss of a child? Especially a child that takes their own life? When [my son] died I was already practicing Choose Again and I am so incredibly grateful. Sure I took some time with my feelings but was reminded frequently that nothing outside of me can make me happy or sad or take my peace. The 6 Steps to Freedom are a lifesaver and life changing. I have the ability to change my perception anytime I choose to do so.

[...] I forgive myself for ever believing that these things that I believed about myself were true. And I remind myself what IS the Truth about me…I have not lost my innocence, there has never been anything wrong with me. That love doesn’t come from outside of me. That I am a Loving Presence and that is where love IS.
​
Every time I would go over the “story” in my head about what I could have, should have, would have done to prevent this event from happening I would use these 6 steps to change my mind. It works.

- Wendy Townsend, Choose Again facilitator

Beloved Diederik, I am so grateful for your wonderful book: Choose again, Six Steps to Freedom. Currently I am reading the book.
​
It is so important that we may become aware of our core beliefs,
which determine our live and keep us trapped in separate, dualistic thinking.

The way we respond, look into life, has everything to do with what we believe about ourselves. Life only responds to what we send out.
Every moment we can make the choice between fear or Love.

That is the only choice we have. In order to remember ourselves,God, we will have to bring all beliefs and desires back into the Light. Bless You All!

I recently returned from a second visit to Choose Again's El Cielo Spiritual Center in Costa Rica. Thank you Diederik Wolsak and team for your dedication to seeing the Truth of who we each are so we may remember it ourselves. And, as we remember, heal our selves and our relationships and know peace and happiness.

- Carla Maria Perez Berlioz, 2022 retreat 

Choose Again literally saved and helped me transform my life 8 years ago when I did not believe that I had the strength or inner power left to start my life all over again … Again.

I am deeply grateful to them and DIederik Wolsak for lighting the way back to the Truth … and for these powerful daily messages- which I incorporate into every morning start.
Thank you!
