“As a workshop facilitator myself and one who helps other presenters be at the top of their game, I can often cast a critical eye on experiential events and the people who lead them. However, I can safely say that my week at Expanding Light was probably the most rewarding workshop experience of my entire life.

“From the gorgeous and peaceful natural surroundings, the amazing food, the depth and wisdom and care of the facilitators to the applicability of the content and the ability to practice those new ideas and techniques in a supportive safe environment — I couldn't have asked for more.

“I now feel like I am more prepared than ever to meet the challenges and opportunities in my life with strength, grace and courage. I will be back to Expanding Light.

“Thanks again to everyone. Namaste.”
— Paul Cello
