Life Changing

"My time in Costa Rica, was life changing.  I have never experienced a group of people with such love and compassion and light. 
I was just blown away with the kindness, in a place of profound beauty, I felt safe and welcomed and at ease.  I am so grateful.
The process has become an important part of my life.  I also bought the ACIM text book and am reading that too.  Thanks for all that you guys do."
Love Susan.

Such gratitude for this gift of awakening to the Truth of who I am.

It was in February 2017 that I first heard about Diederik Wolsak’s work and the Six Steps to Freedom Process.
At that point I had been a student of the Course in Miracles for 4 months and had been hoping for the miracle that would take me out of the deep anxiety and the feeling of hopelessness that I felt on and off for years. My life had become one coping mechanism after another for years, between a desperate spiritual practice, tools and medicine journeys, workshops, study groups and I had spent thousands of Dollars and countless hours in online courses to try to find out what was wrong with me – I figured there had to be something wrong with me because despite all the efforts, and the deep spiritual journeys, realisations and having lived in an Ashram for years  nothing seemed to last more than a couple of days or weeks at best, before that same old feeling of desperation and being a failure came back. What was wrong with me??

"Life changing..."

I wanted to let you and the rest of the team know that my time at El Cielo was life changing. I know that I have only been home a couple of weeks but I have been using the tools and feel so free. It is amazing how taking responsibility for my own happiness and giving up responsibility for anyone else's can flip the world upside down.
I have had no symptoms of anxiety or depression since I arrived in Costa Rica. I feel like a different person.

It’s time I pour out my gratitude for the Six Steps! I am a “consciousness coach” and find the Six Steps to be the finest process I’ve ever come upon to serve the freeing up from suffering that is the longing in all human hearts.
Thank you! Your generosity in sharing is a revelation of the Love that you/we are.

Peace With My Daughter

11/18/2017

0 Comments

 
​I went to Harrison Hotsprings last weekend for the Choose again workshop because the relationship with my daughter had deteriorated to the point that I knew if something didn’t change that I could lose the opportunity for a relationship with her entirely.  I was very scared and had no idea how to move forward from this. 
The first day I listened and I thought “this is all well and good” but they have no idea of the

"I went to El Cielo in 2014 when I was fifty-eight years old. I had been receiving talk therapy for PTSD and Asperger Syndrome, which provided a measure of symptomatic relief, but I wanted more: I wanted my self-relationship to be healed.  I spoke with Diederik on the phone to ask whether Choose Again might be appropriate for me. I look back on that conversation with bemusement because I know now that Choose Again is an appropriate course of learning for anyone (irrespective of the name he gives his unhappiness.)  The daily

Three Weeks in Heaven, by Lay B

As I sit here at the Choose Again Intensive Retreat Centre in Costa Rica, I still have to pinch myself that I'm so blessed to be here. Only 3 short weeks ago, I arrived here not knowing what to expect but have been so truly and pleasantly surprised and delighted by the beautiful transformation that's taking place within me here.
 
The Costa Rican name for the Choose Again centre is El Cielo, which means Heaven. The name could not be more apt because the change of mind that is taking place since being

Great News.

8/17/2017

Dear Diederik,
I want to share with you what I consider great news. Since the second of the two workshops I attended at Les Labadous in August and September of 2016, I have come to realize that I too more and more naturally look for the light, it wasn't always so. With light I also mean love, a means to -- and outcome of -- forgiveness.
I am therefore pleased to report that I'm doing better. Last August, at the end of the first workshop, I told Stacy about the possibility of me starting on medication for depression as I felt stuck in a survival mode and didn't see a way out.
The transformation I have experienced this past year since attending the two workshops feels real in a sense:

​“A non-judgmental and intimate workshop that will provide you with an alternative approach to dealing with upsets in your life/events that are not in your control in a most profound way. An essential learning experience for each person; young, old, families etc. No matter what you believe about yourself and your past, this workshop will leave you feeling closer to our purpose here on earth. Diederik is a master of his craft and leads by example. These concepts can be applied immediately or not at all, but the truth lies in your willingness. Shift happens!”

​“The 6 days workshop “Finding Meaning in Life” I followed in Les Labadous has made a great turn in my life. I’ve learned how to recognize disturbing feelings and hooked-on beliefs – and more important how to process this, to turn the upsetting feelings into a peaceful feeling. The techniques Choose Again offers are very profound and do-able, a healing process. I am so very very grateful to have experienced this week, a start of a continuing experience for the rest of my life, to feel peaceful, to be Love, and to be whole.” - Patricia
