"I gained tremendous psychological and emotional benefits from my stay in Costa Rica. I have now been free, for two months, of depression medication I was on for twelve years, and have used concepts acquired at the Centre in dealing with those down times, to great effect." - MS "I went to Costa Rica feeling unhappy and discontented. I felt there was something missing in my life that was keeping me from being at peace. Through working with Diederik and the group there I came to believe that I am an innocent child of God and that what has prevented me from seeing this has been old beliefs carried from childhood that I don’t deserve love and don’t know how to give or receive it. That to trust that I am right where I need to be and am getting all I need renders me patient and keeps me from being disappointed. That my self-imposed self-identity has kept me judgmental, intolerant and separate from others and prevented me from seeing that we are all essentially the same and part of a oneness, concepts that make me feel more love and understanding for those around me.
That it’s all about love and that to give love results in receiving it. That my feelings of depression largely result from my faulty perceptions of myself, life, and love. I gained tremendous psychological and emotional benefits from my stay in Costa Rica. I have now been free, for two months, of depression medication I was on for twelve years, and have used concepts acquired at the Centre in dealing with those down times, to great effect. In my two weeks back in the Vancouver routine, my outlook has been much more optimistic, and my extension of love to people and situations, and openness without expectations, has resulted in less mental and emotional clutter and more freedom and happiness." -M.S.
