Testimonials from Course attendees

Drawing on the Right Side of The Brain – Presented by Carolyn Wilson

I really enjoyed this course and I wanted to do it for years. The presenter imparts her knowledge in a very easy to understand manner. It was also lovely to chat to like-minded people.

I found this course very motivating to get myself back into my art work and feeling the creative flow again. I especially loved the portraiture classes as they reminded me of old learning and will help me in my future work.

Really, really great! I never thought I would ever be able to draw. Thank you so much Carolyn

I arrived 6 weeks ago to do this course with a belief from early school days “Robyn, it’s obvious you can’t do art”. Move forward 60 years!! Carolyn gently encouraged that latent spark of creativity to become a small flame. What a delight to re-discover that awe and wonder of patterns and rhythms in what we observe. I feel this awareness will now flow over into other aspects of my life. I am grateful to now be able to allow the right hand side to be acknowledged. Thanks millions. – Robyn

Meditation & Yoga – Intensive course – Presented by Manish Singh

This 5-day Intensive has been excellent. What a great way to start the last 5 days. I will do the 10-day Intensive. I feel more relaxed and a lot more aware of my own reactions to my surroundings. I am grateful to have done this class and would like to continue with Manish here at the Relaxation Centre. Excellent! – Janette

Great course, great teacher. Please could there be a regular morning Yoga/Meditation session? Thanks very much. – Chris

Great, would like to do this all year, every day. Wonderful start to the whole day. Great teacher, very generous with knowledge.

The Transformation Game – it can change your life – Presented by
Rod Smith

Playing the Transformation Game assisted me to open up and bring into clearer awareness where I sit with my life. Thank you Rod for facilitating a fabulous way to see into my heart. – Monica

I enjoyed the game thoroughly. Rod was a fantastic facilitator and the game was very helpful for me. Good fun in a good environment, I felt very safe. – Jeff

This is my second time doing this session and I thoroughly enjoyed both times and gained valuable insights into my self that will help me greatly. Sincere thanks Rod. – Michele

Centering Within Yourself – Presented by Lionel Fifield and 5 other presenters

This is my third time doing this course and it is very different, not just the course and who is running it, but myself. The one thing that is the same is I’m leaving the course feeling amazingly happy. Thank you Lionel and your wonderful team – you are all an inspiration.

Being an accountant the thought of “courses” and “seminars” fills me with dread. I have been totally and utterly entertained and informed each and every night! I have already found myself using techniques and adopting different thought processes, or simply just quietly being quiet. I feel calmer and less like I am about to spin out of control. I look forward to being able to just “feel” more. Thank you to all the speakers for a wonderful relaxing time. – Jackie

Since attending the course I have found it much easier to fall asleep at night. I have been using the breathing techniques that we have learnt which I find extremely relaxing. Thanks!

I felt all the presenters were unique to each part of the course and helped me see the “mountain” from a different perspective, thus gaining a better understanding of my life in a positive and gentle way. I loved it, thank you.

A fantastic course. I have done things that I have been talking about for years e.g. get a job as a boat builder, play cricket. I have started listening to what I really want. I have started fishing again, made-up with old friends. It has changed my life forever. The power of positive thinking is just unbelievable. I feel like my soul is mending. Thank you.

Each evening gave valuable insights and dovetailed into each other beautifully. Interestingly, those evenings I felt “Heard that before, not applicable to me” turned out, on further reflection, to be the ones I needed most to hear, because I had let go of their practice. – Shirley

I feel I have gained much from the course and am excited to put several parts into practice in my everyday life. I am very aware of my breathing and practice every day, as well as talking to my body.

De-Stress/Relax (and sleep better too!) – Presented by Lionel Fifield and others

What a wonderful course, can’t wait to put what I learned into practice. – Nicola

I really liked hearing the presenters tell their stories of what they’d been through and the techniques they used to overcome their challenges. I have experienced anxiety for a number of years which has also led to loss of sleep and it has been great to find out that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and to learn ways of being able to gain a good sleep.

I found this a very insightful and helpful course given in a relaxed and friendly environment. I felt it made a big difference hearing what the speakers had been through. It was not only inspirational but it helped me appreciate my life and realize my problems may not be the end of the world. Thank you.

Hearing the presenters share stories of the difficulties they have gone through in their life and how they got through and overcame them was important to me. It also taught me how to view myself differently and how I have the ability to change. All in all, it was a really great, worthwhile day

Understanding Your Anger – Presented by Daniele Williams

Daniele is straightforward and down-to-earth. She readily challenges “crooked” thinking. She facilitates so that the forum is open and this allows people to be comfortable and speak freely, thus allowing greater learning for all. I enjoyed the nights, it helped me realize that there are others similar and others different, and that’s okay. Cheers and thanks. – Pete

This course has been the most influential thing I have ever done for myself and at the end of every class I felt happy. I can now see that there are other people with feelings, not just #1. I rave about the classes to so many of my friends and peers. I loved the things you said to us in class, it really clicked in my head – it is so simple and effective. Thank you so much.

Moving on from Depression and Anxiety – Presented by Fiona Best

Thank you for presenting this course. Speaking about this topic has given me better insight and understanding in identifying and treating this mental condition. I am relieved that my anxiety is not uncommon and that the physical symptoms experienced can be so easily treated and at times prevented. I have learnt little tricks that stop my mind from racing and methods to limit the effects of anxiety.

Fiona, thank you for helping people see how perfect they are in their imperfection and helping me to tune into things about myself that I hadn’t noticed before.

A great course and I will encourage others to do it. Very empowering but full of common sense and easy to relate to what’s presented.
