across the United States to learn to be “present in the moment . . . each moment of “BE-ing” as well as learning advanced teachings of Christ, with Michael. All who choose this gateway of God will be blessed beyond human mind, Human words. I am joyous in ‘peace that surpasses all understanding in saying that I knew when I walked in that I would not be the same when it was time to leave. I am Blessed.”

most beautiful situation I ever experienced to allow this rebirth to happen within all of us. During the lectures, bio-energetic work, and symbolic exercises of this retreat, I felt we were all ‘becoming together’ like being ‘reborn’ together. It was so beautiful, I’m at a loss for words. By releasing past issues that were so buried in our psyche and bodies, there was a new space being created within us to be filled with Light. There was this realization of what Jesus meant when he taught that we must die as an ego, die as a personality, die as past, and also die as the mind. We have to let go. Then we are filled with God! Then we are born into being! Thank you, Michael, for creating such a beautiful healing and re-birth for all of us on Easter Day!”

to thank God for this soul meeting between us, as well as thank you for all these changes in me! I pray to god to keep your light even brighter so you can keep giving to the ones that are all still searching for love.”

into letting go of unhealthy beliefs I’ve held (way too long). I was touched in every area of self€“Physical (feeling healthier & getting back into my body to move & groove as who I really am); Emotionally (feeling that it’s fine to let go of toxic emotions that slowed my vitality); Mentally (knowing I am truly focused, anxiety has lifted & sensing what to say & how to speak with a greater clarity to others); Spiritually (definitely in alignment with God & seeing the synchronicity already in play with all of the above combined). The fluidity of the workshop from the information shared by Michael & with others; hands on learning; delicious meals & relaxing accommodations made me feel safe & at ease to awaken to my real Self. I really felt the connections I made with myself & with others were completely amazing! It felt like I was leaving my ‘soul family when it was time to go home.”

Masters who have guided me in life’s quest but have never felt a presence like yours. Now, I hope to have a session with you in person.”

was doing the massage . . . to simply love the body. The rest follows. This morning I added a little breath-work to my ‘tracking exercise, thinking I would just take the top off some feelings and I found myself experiencing very deep emotions and profound healing. This workshop also taught me a great deal about emotional healing. Now, I feel like I’m walking around in an altered state and every now and then I’ll realize that I’m mentally in sync with everything around me.”

she didn’t just release, instead, she experienced some real healing. I am always amazed by how much ground we cover in Michael Mirdad’s workshops. Furthermore, the love and mastery he brings to teaching and healing is unsurpassed. I now feel inspired to attend the next healing workshop, to further hone my skills and deepen my understanding, as well as my own healing something all healers should do.”

of life. A big take-away for me is the idea of balance between my physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual selves. All are important, and if I try to skip over any aspect, it’s going to slow down my growth and learning in this life. And, as always, the central core of learning with Michael in any context is his huge heart and caring for all of his students, and indeed for every soul he encounters. I have never studied with a teacher who had that level of commitment to the spiritual evolution of every single person. The journey of one illuminates the path for all, and I feel personally enriched and elevated by everything that happened during the time we all spent together.”

with many things in my life. Now I have the tools to quickly and easily turn fear, frustration, and chaos into a greater abundance of love, peace, and joy. The ego no longer has control over me and now I know that it never really did.”

the eyes of Christ, to have compassion for myself so that I might have compassion for us all. Each facet of the workshop built upon the other, from the breath work to the sound healing sessions. And the closing circle is beyond my ability to describe and to express the wonderment of such a gift.of beholding that pillar of God’s Light, a massive column of loving energy from earth to sky, illuminating and pouring forth all the power of Its Love, right there for us to witness and feel.and the whole while to be in the Mind of Christ. Thank you for this gift of healing.”

three or less in any category. He went on to say that if one had a low score in relationship, without the proper amount of work and correct application of mind, chances were that in five years it would most likely be the same (or worse).so one might as well stop suffering and complaining and get out now. I hated what he said. But Michael was right on. I didn’t leave my three or lower rated relationship for an additional six years, choosing instead to apply myself to my spiritual practice. I am very glad I did, however even with all the practice and work, my 27 year marriage didn’t work out. And the thing was.both Michael and myself saw it coming. So.points to take into consideration: TRUST your intuition however weak it may be. LOVE and forgive the one you’re with even though it’s painful. And practice developing confidence, love, and trust in yourself above all. In these ways all your hurts and anger will heal faster, you will have no regrets, and you will continue to grow in spirit and light for the rest of your days.”

you for your light.”

so much sense for us to clear out the blocks, release them, make peace with them and fill up with what was intended . . . God. We helped and supported each other, both with learning actual techniques for our healer’s ‘toolbox, as well as learning to trust our own guidance as healers. Every day was just the right balance of going to the edge and coming back stronger, cleaner, and clearer. It’s impossible to articulate the depths of joy and sadness and how quickly the energy can be shifted from that place of confusion and hopelessness to compassion for self and others, even those we struggle with, when our intention matches our willingness and ability to trust. I finally feel like I can live the life I came here for. I am free from resentments, jealousies, judgments, and the tendency to perpetuate old patterns through traumatizing, neglecting, and sacrificing myself. Things that used to occupy my mind would be difficult to conjure up now. The Reiki, the re-birth and resurrection, our meditation around the bonfire, the tracking exercises, Kundalini yoga, bodywork, EFT, acupressure, and massage . . . there was such a great variety and combination of healing modalities as well as hands-on learning. This was clearly the best thing I have ever done for myself.”

in the process and made INTEGRATION so much easier. The information, new beliefs, etc. literally became a part of me, never again to be separate from me. What I like the best about the way Michael teaches is that he offers us the most esoteric, intuitive and imaginatively spiritual concepts imaginable as the what. But then he backs it up with the why and the how. Personally, I need all three to really understand, accept and live a concept, and Michael is one of the few teachers who has ever given me all three. There are no words to explain what the final ceremony was like for me. It’s the most intensely beautiful feeling I’ve ever experienced. Plain and simple. The most important thing I can say about Michael, as a teacher, is that I can’t believe I’ve been lucky enough to run across someone with his gifts. It’s obvious that he’s been places few other have been. His energy doesn’t even look like other peoples. I now trust him as much as I’ve ever trusted anyone. I also really value the goofball aspect of his personality!”

again and also utilized one of Michael’s primary teachings when it comes to challenges€”FOCUS AND GO! Each step leads you to the next and confidence builds with each obstacle that’s overcome…a good metaphor for all of life’s challenges. Thank you to all the brave souls that took this journey with me! May we all bring our best selves to each and every moment of our lives.”

we experienced physically and emotionally in the activities/exercises which were truly expansive and fun. But most impressive was the spiritual experience of love that Michael and the group as a whole showed. After a week I felt like I knew them all for years! Not only were all comforts of great food, lodging, scents, and music meticulously provided but close attention to detail for our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs were met truly transcending the average ‘seminar on spirituality! This was truly an ‘active model or embodiment of what Michael preaches on balance and wholeness. I am sure all those who attended agree, this was truly life-changing and worth the time, effort and money to attend!”

learning how to enhance my daily meditations, I have plenty of new momentum for creating even more of what I want in my life. Michael’s workshops simply are the best investments I have made in my quest for healing and fulfillment.”

metals or stones, nor does it involve any clever slights of hand. It doesn’t force itself upon you or declare itself present . . . no it is simple and it is subtle. It isn’t flashy or extravagant; it isn’t gratuitous, but just simply beautiful. This doesn’t feel like a mere gift of this world but rather a gift of Spirit. Thank you, Michael, for this gift. Thank you for offering it to my partner and me. May every possible blessing shower your head for your unshakable commitment to God and His Voice. I am so often overcome by my gratitude for your capacity to see me and to channel my words when I have lost them.”

deep inner healing. Since then I’ve read many of his books, I’ve listened to numerous talks and I’ve attended many of his workshops. They have all been invaluable to me and have taught me so much about myself. I have learned to set healthy boundaries and I have begun to recognize the Love that I am, I now have a connection with God and others and a peace within my heart that I had only ever dreamed of. He is a person of great integrity and humility, one who is deeply dedicated to the path of healing and leading others Home. He is a Master at challenging the ego and triggering the hell out of you, my ego tried to convince me to RUN several times over the past two years, but Spirit kept leading me back, which to me was only further proof of his authenticity. Thank You Michael Mirdad for being a pure and clear channel for God, thank you for being courageous enough to deliver the messages you knew I needed to hear but likely would “not” be well received by my little self, thank you for living through example and for being a torch (light) for others to find their way Home!”

have ruled some of my life. I understand that some of the old patterns may come up in my life, may hook me but I now have a greater awareness and will not let these patterns rule me. But I think your greatest teaching for me is how you model affectionate, connected, and unconditional love. Not that I think you do it perfectly, but you seem incredibly more willing to try to do it that anyone I have ever met, especially of the male gender. Anyway thanks again, Michael, for your dedication and devotion for my spiritual growth.”

your next Thanksgiving with him, surrounded by countless seekers, and you’ll return to your life with a deeper sense of connection, a stronger inner knowing, and a freedom born from the greatest truth this world has ever known.”

my physical, emotional, mental, intuitive and spiritual self. Each day was filled with many opportunities to integrate the concepts taught through a variety of well thought out hands-on activities. Indeed, from the magical beauty and serenity of the retreat’s 10 acre landscape (including pond, waterfall, woods, labyrinth, and gardens) to the illuminating lectures, the Mastery workshop raised my consciousness and gave me a new masterful lease on life. I am so grateful to God for inspiring you to create such a place that the rest of us can go to for the nurturing support and clarity needed as we journey on our spiritual paths. This workshop has taught me that mastery doesn’t mean waiting for everything to be perfect, but that a true master lives each day to the fullest, keeping a balance between ‘knowing the truth, and respecting the illusion.”

my life. I never miss your live presentations. Thank you!”

too available news of this world, which seems to drain the very essence of spirit out of me. Thank you so much for knowing about complacency and for elaborating on it’s many faces. Reading your message made me feel so much less alone on my path, though surrounded by friends and family who don’t support this. I have found over the past 27 years that my so-called living in a bubble, allows me to know less about what is going on out there in the world but more about what is going on within me and how to become healthier in body and soul. Thank you for sharing the truth.”

my husband got up from his seat unassisted. He also walked alone from the fellowship hall into the lobby to meet you. And on the way home when we stopped at the gas station, he got out of the car and washed the windows! What progress!”

and softer than I had in a long time. I recalled thinking of a particular experience I had during the workshop and I smiled. Deep in my belly I felt love, peace, joy, and wholeness all swirling around like this warm ball of energy. Wow! How did it happen? I’m sure it was a combination of Michael’s exercises, discussions, meditations, body work and tracking. All the while feeling nurtured in this beautiful serene space and eating such lovingly prepared food. It all worked synergistically to access the most important knowledge about my core patterns stemming from a deeply buried core wound. That kind of enlightenment (ah-ha, Oh My God, moment!) is PRICELESS! Thank you Michael, from the bottom of my heart, for your guidance and encouragement in helping me to heal and move on to a better life. I’m also deeply grateful to the other attendees for their courage and strength in facing such painful memories and their dedication to healing their souls. What an honor to hold space with you and be a part of such a beautiful transformation. Everyone looked like a newly-blossomed, radiant rose, by the end of the workshop.”

opening occurred and emotions were triggered, I was able to put the ‘tracking exercise to use immediately! What a relief, what a new found sense of empowerment! By using the ‘tracking and other self realization techniques I could move forward to the next idea, instead of staying stuck and frustrated. The Self-Inventory was very enlightening and gave me information as to which areas of Mastery hold my personal strengths and weaknesses. I personally made a huge step forward in facing my fears. I gained deeper meaning as to how, in mastery, everything is synchronized like a beautiful dance. Activities like the art project, the evening bonfires, and goddess dancing delighted the senses and burned memories deep within my soul. Every minute was full and rich!”

power stones, and fire ceremonies. It has led me to see humanity as a unit, functioning together, the pieces gradually revealing themselves as we move toward greater and greater awareness and embodiment of Christ consciousness.”

I truly did not expect to feel much of anything for a long time. It is such a pleasant surprise to feel energy throughout my body along with sensuality, already. I didn’t know it (sensuality) was even still in there! Michael, I was so detached from my body that I usually didn’t even feel things, like stubbing a toe. I expect that there will be ups and downs throughout the healing process, but I’ve decided to focus my spiritual homework and on healing quickly. I am totally shifting my point of view on almost every aspect of my personal life. I’ve made an observation that often statements you make, that are not directly attached to the topic, have opened areas of contemplation I wouldn’t have gone to on my own (or maybe not till much later). I like it. Bravo! Your lesson pacing and quick responding to participants make for an enjoyable learning experience.”

and articles are very inspirational and motivating; in all honesty I keep your book on The Seven Initiations with me at all times. It has so assisted with those moments of disorientation. The hardest part has been seeing those I thought to be in alignment with the Divine and finding that sometimes they are not. This saddens my heart. It is as if they sensed the change within me and I so became an out-cast and the focus of their hate. But sending them only love is the key. Recently I was blessed with employment, and when I receive my first paycheck, I would like to donate to your retreat center. You have helped me and I would like to do the same in return.”

I also know that some people don’t like him. I thought you did an awesome job covering the conflict in your article. I’ve experienced spiritual groups that split due to similar disagreements. As a result, I had turned away from any spiritual groups. The joy and forgiveness that I have been able to access as a result of reading Gary’s book(s) and now in ACIM, has transformed my life.”

that have been blocking me, and by Saturday, I was already seeing new positive, tangible results, which are leading me very clearly into the next phase of my life. The intensive was full of great information, fun experiences, and amazing connections, especially a deeper connection to God and my Self, as well as many new deeper friendships. I gained a greater sense of my own soul’s purpose, and a clearer understanding of how to live it more fully and prosperously.”

difference between the Holy Spirit and Christ and that feels like a huge puzzle has been unraveled in me. God speaks to me in such a clear voice at times and I sometimes feel overwhelmed from the degree of love that comes through. And when that happens, I often think of you, not as a man, but as a soul, which feels like so much more than the human thing. I really don’t know if I could even put it into words if I tried. Anyway I wanted to thank you for being a part of my life and journey in remembering who I am as God’s beloved child. Thank you.”

levels. My intention going into this retreat, was to remove any and all obstacles to unconditional love that I have created. This morning I woke up sobbing, as I have never felt so loved in my entire life! Fully and completely loved by me, fully connected to The Divine, and by friends old and new, near and far, are reaching out today out of nowhere! My intention with this experience was to remove all barriers or blocks to unconditional love I had built internally and around me knowing by the overflowing and outpouring of love I am receiving the dam is now broken! WOW!!! Wow!! That’s all I can say is wow!!!! So grateful. As the Grinch so eloquently said I think my heart grew 2 sizes today!”

ground, and we were, indeed, protected during this terrorizing time. Thank you, Michael, for taking the time to visit and pray with me during this event. I was so frightened and stunned but you were able to guide me toward peace and grace when everything around me was literally in flames. I received emails, texts, and phone calls during this time from so many folks who I met at your healing workshop in April. I am so grateful. I walk through my home touching my walls, I touch my trees, I touch my dirt and weep with joy and disbelief.”

to do when facing life’s challenges. I am beginning to understand my own blocks and now have the tools to move more swiftly and easily through them. People are telling me that I seem more calm and confident and seem to bring them a sense of peace. This obviously isn’t just a course I’m taking, this is a course that has taken me. It has become a way of life!”

this retreat enough. Something deep within has shifted and while I have returned to numerous life challenges, I no longer feel defeated from within. Thank you! On a personal note, thank you so much for the final ceremony and the opportunity to experience singing from that heightened state. It has had a profound impact. I cannot put into words the shifting that has happened as a result and the level of peace that that has brought to me. Of course I still have plenty to work through in that regards, but I am no longer afraid of the outcome of the healing process as I was before and finally KNOW that I can get through to the other side.”

so that my mind, body and soul will meld with the God essence WHILE I’m in this physical body. I know now that I can never go backwards into non-awareness and in that way, I am already home . . . with a big challenge left in my personal role as a member of ‘The Ground Crew.”

levels; The schedule and meals.Walking in the morning, yoga, protein shake for breakfast, a full lunch, and an alkaline meal at the end of the day; Learning to ‘start the day with God then re-visit this connection throughout the day and finally, go into deep sleep with God at the end of the day. I also enjoyed the many great insights and learning how to focus, integrate, and apply.”

everyone I came into contact with. In every aspect of my being blocks have been cleared with clarifying precision of my soul’s purpose and the passion that was thought to be lost.”

I had learned in previous workshops, I felt something was wrong. Now I know that opening myself to God and always knowing He is with me changes everything. At first when you started to teach us, the way you were teaching irritated me because you seemed so certain. Do you remember, in your book ‘Creating Fulfilling Relationship, you are saying ‘we often discover that the very thing that we most like about a person is often the thing we also most dislike about them? In my case, what I disliked most about your workshop turned out to be the very thing that made your workshop special for me. It made me smile. I found that through all those years I had been angry at God and trying to turn my eyes away from Him, Jesus was always walking along with me and gently guiding me. That reminds me of the story of two disciples accompanying Jesus on their way to Emmaus. They didn’t recognize Him but later they found that it had been Jesus, and said to each other, ‘Did not our heart burn within us while he talked to us. Like them, now I often feel my heart burning to know that He is with me.”

the healing process with my own clients. I love how we managed to integrate deep emotional healing from tracking exercises that tied everything from my body pain, to chronic emotional emptiness, and core beliefs established long ago about how I feel separate from God all into one cathartic (ah ha) epiphany. And then we took a break by occasionally switching the focus of the workshop to intimate connection with others through subtle body work, deep spiritual meditations, and moments of hysterical laughter.”

workshop provides. I emerged from it filled with new life energy. I also found the soul retrieval an amazing experience wherein I receive an important message as to my life’s purpose, and rewrote soul contracts that now free me up to let go of old, unhealthy relationship dynamics and establish new ones based on the principles of love and liberation.”

the history and mysteries of the universe€“all of which amazed me beyond words. I am blown away once again. This year’s mastery workshop took me to some of the deepest levels of learning and healing I have experienced. Thanks for creating such a safe and loving environment for us to learn and grow to be the masters of our lives you have shown us we can be. After this particular workshop, I realized that I am no longer attending as an attendee but also as a person who is training to assist other teachers and/or facilitate my own workshops some day.”

with such certainty. You are a wonderful channel of Light and look forward to seeing you again.”

to grow, to help me see that God is all around me, not somewhere else waiting for me. This workshop was the best! The group seemed to blend so easily together. As always, Michael conducted the workshop with just the right amount of balance, some difficult, challenging moments (namely the emotional harvesting) and some wonderful, soft moments (massages). Again, I am amazed at the amount of ground we cover is such a short period of time. Surely we were there for several weeks, not just several days. I found all of the exercises extremely helpful in the healing process. As far as the bioenergetics exercises, I found them to be very effective . . . not always enjoyable , but very effective. I also enjoyed learning EFT . . . I love that it’s such a simple process which gives dramatic results.”

it has also taught me valuable information that I was not able to hear from anywhere else. I feel as if one layer after another of my life has been cleared away, so much so that I have not experienced some of the typical emotional upheavals that were common for me before I began to apply what I learned from this Course. Also, my mind has opened up to far more synchronistic experiences, I am having first time ever psychic experiences, and I, most importantly, seem to be at peace with myself and everything around me. This Course has helped me to produce both internal and external miracles in my life and my own being.”

it would mean so much. Go Seahawks!”

at the retreat and it has continued. I have let go of stuff that I did not even know I needed to let go of . . . and Michael’s love and ability to know exactly what each one of us (I) needed, amazed me.”

It truly applies in all areas of life and I can feel it changing how I approach things already in these first days home. Thank you Michael for another life-changing 5-day Intensive!”

than just in the world. It is a very dharmic class, I experience it at a cellular level. I have taken the workshop three times now, and could do it again. Although I learn something new each time with my mind, what really makes a difference is how I feel, how I expand and anchor more and more into who I am.”

my present relationship. We were both deeply impressed and discussed some of the things that came up for us, and your seminar was actually very valuable in helping me vocalize what was in my heart. By the time we retired for bed, we had agreed on a separation from the relationship but then beautifully proceeded to make love for hours. It was incredibly healing. I think it was a kind of expression to each other that everything that happened between us was a success and that we are truly grateful. Of course there are many elements to this ending that are not easy and beautiful, and so, I will pursue a private session with you to help me with this transition and prepare for a new beginning. Thanks again for your wonderful spirit.”

spiritual family. Michael amazed us all once again with his arrangement of exercises, meditations, healing modalities, lectures, and playful fun. We had an absolute blast in the mountains challenging ourselves at a ropes course 60€² in the air! We all grew in immeasurable ways and have new, lasting friendships. Thank you to all who attended and opened up for their own growth as well as mine. Masters don’t wish, they choose and they always ask why? My love to all and especially to our Masterful Teacher.”

practical foundation that shifted my way of thinking about the world, about myself, and about my relationship with God. By utilizing the tools he gave us, I am able to Center myself, Focus (on my goal), and Go (implement that goal). As a result, I can already tell a difference in my ability to be a more effective parent, to be a better communicator and receiver in my interactions with others, and to have a clearer intent with my soul’s purpose. Michael’s unique healing activities are beyond any I have ever encountered throughout my journey both personally and as a mental health professional. Professionally, I have learned multiple healing modalities that will enhance my ability to heal others in my Psychotherapy Private Practice. During Michael’s workshop, I observed amazing Spiritual growth and healing in myself and the other group members. Michael has an unrivaled ability to capture an audience by using humor, as well as, sharing his broad knowledge about History, Religion, Metaphysics, Psychology, Pop Culture, and the Healing arts as a way to illustrate his concepts.”

my life things that before I could never fully understand beyond the linear explanations. You taught us who we are in Truth and how all things are possible through that. Creating a life that we want is not just an illusion but a reality! I was able to almost immediately put to use the treasures of your teachings due to the concise manner in which they were taught. You did not just present ideas and concepts€”you gave us a concrete application and a road map to go with it.”

the energy of God, as well as the time we all spent in a group hug, which was so intimate, the love I felt was so beautiful. It occurred to me that if every man had felt what I felt in that group, there would be no war, as there would be no hate in their heart. Lastly, I was amazed that Michael constantly knew what everyone in the group was going through. He is truly a disciple of the Christ.”

to be ‘well and whole can set us free. This process is made much easier when we have caring healers. The atmosphere of the workshop created more love and appreciation for each attendee to be in a safe and cohesive situation that reinforced our love and support for each other.”

to the unfolding process of this love and joy, when I come down from Cloud #9. I really enjoyed the whole retreat. For me it was the fellowship and the Communion with the All Mighty. There was a feeling of radiance that was a constant. Loved that! On an empathic level, the interpretation of the heart is so hard to put into simple words. It can only be felt with an open heart, mind, and Soul. There were rushes and calms of elation, visceral sensations that sent me into verbs of ecstasy and bliss. Loved the Garden! I would so love to speak to the architect who did the design in regards to why this and why that. It was very inspirational and sensational.” –Vicki, TX

dismantled the usual pain of going back to my ‘real life, as I brought the real life with me. From the airport I had to jump right into my work place, but it still felt that I had never left Sedona, and my fellow students, and all that made these few days a lifetime event of love, peace and joy.”

away from home, I saw the green of the pine trees, I saw the lake, I saw the water. In my dream I asked questions: How I am going there? What should I do? God showed to me that was so easy to get there. After this dream I met Michael and I decided to go to the retreat. Being there was a beautiful dream, the warmth of the house, the freshness of the air, the pureness of the water, and the most important thing, I was surrounded with love! In the workshop, I went back to my childhood, feeling the same pain that I had at that time. I felt the pain for the absence of my dad and I lived again the hell of being in a dark room. But this time I could also feel safe and happy. I could feel God’s presence around the whole place. I enjoyed walking around the property, to be at the labyrinth, to be at the garden, and to hear the sound of the water. I enjoyed how everybody took such great care of each other, how they showed their unconditional love, and yet allowed each one of us to have our feelings. I also learned 1. To love myself in all dimensions: body, emotions, mind, soul and spirit. 2. To understand that the past and the future don’t exist, therefore I will not be worry about them. 3. To live the present surrounded by love in union with Mother Father God. 4. To be a healer of myself and to heal others. 5. To bring peace, respect, compassion, in one word unconditional love to everybody else that is around me. 6. To be very thankful with God for my life, others life and this beautiful world.”

with my efforts in God€”faster. Michael exudes mastery with difficult subjects thru story-telling, humor and reading the energy of the group. This is well rounded adult education€”providing balanced activities for physical, emotional, mental & spiritual growth. I feel stretched to new heights on every level. It’s as if we sat at the feet of a master, rekindling an affinity for sacred ancient times still relevant today. So delightful to share & grow with others committed to making the journey lighter. Thank you! We are the better for it.”

The workshop was coordinated and organized in a way that only one with insight, knowledge, spirituality and perceptiveness could pull off. The days and evenings were full of activities that flowed in a seamless manner alternating between exceptional deep healing exercises, learning and practicing various healing modalities, and those that filled us up with food, dance, laughter, exercise, body work and a sense of togetherness. I cannot believe the amount of learning, deep self exploration, and healing that Michael was able to combine in 5 days. And I will not forget the laughter, the tears, the deep messages received, the support shown to each other, the sense of oneness, and the safety and compassion of this very special workshop. Each exercise was so unique, extremely well thought out, and powerful in their own way. This workshop has re-opened me, and allowed energy and love to flow through me again.”

felt like an inner voice was directing that this was the man I finally should approach. I am sharing this simply to let you know that I will not forget this feeling. I also share this as a way of saying a heartfelt ‘THANK YOU for the deep impression that your words made within me at your lecture on Sunday evening. You spoke with an eloquent clarity that I have rarely experienced, and I feel truly blessed to have been in your presence for that hour-and-a-half. Please know that my prayers of thankfulness accompany you as you leave the ‘Windy City and resume your busy schedule.”

what I have passion about. The way you word things really makes sense to me. What a gift you are to me and the world. Thank you. I don’t know if I have ever really heard any body say things the way I really think about them. You do. Over and over again I heard the message of Love. From every angle I heard Love. You are love and I feel blessed to have gotten to experience you.”

expectation. His infinite knowledge and ability to guide us through prayer, to heal and reconnect to the light of Christ Consciousness, was awesome. I can still see us standing in our sacred circle holding hands and sending light and love out to the world. I never thought I would say the words, ‘Born Again, but I truly am Born Again in Christ Consciousness.”

of themselves and physically strange. And that’s what it feels like now, in this world. Gawky, loud, argumentative and confusion, just waiting for the light of maturity. 3) Endings, releasing, making room for the new” I really appreciate the fact that you walk like you talk. Sharing the examples of how you are doing exactly that is pretty inspiring. Helps me want to do the same! Of course I miss your visits to Maui and I miss the workshops, but I will eventually make it back that way” to a workshop or a Lightworkers Conference or something. I keep in touch with some friends from the workshops and we often speak fondly of you and the work you do. I guess the main comment I want to make is to thank you again for all that you do. You rock. And, by the way, A good friend of mine recently moved to Sedona and has been attending Unity there. He sends me emails telling me what great talks you give and I just laugh. Like, uh, yeah.that’s what I’ve been trying to tell him! LOL…”

the same. I learned to set the bar high for myself & settle for nothing less than mastery. I’m standing firm on a solid foundation & falling in love with life again.”

hyper-vigilant I am on a daily basis. Anyway, I was just concentrating on what you were saying and absorbing every word. Then I noticed I was walking faster to keep up with you, even though you were at the same pace. You smiled and said, ‘It’s okay, go with it. I started to move ahead of you and then was running. You were still beside me, but not running. Then I flew! I was light! Free! Happy beyond anything I’ve ever felt! And SAFE! Looked down at you and you were watching me, smiling, repeating ‘It’s okay!!! Michael, I didn’t want to wake up. It was beyond anything I’ve ever experienced before. So safe, loved, sure, I was crying, laughing, no negative thoughts, words, emotions. I can’t find true words. Last night will stay with me for awhile. It was awesome and had to share.”

and the Soul-retrieval meditation.”

me. The information and prayers in this workshop were very natural and satiating. Every piece and process built together led me to experience healing and understanding on a level more like I have always been searching for. I learned to make more room in my heart for God to finally reach me. I also see more clearly how I had been responsible for why I lacked this connection in the past. The soul retrieval work was profound and helped me to understand why I was experiencing my life the way I was. I am committed to keeping this new awakening alive and know that what I have learned will help me do so at a much deeper level!”

am deeply grateful for your love and patience and releasing me to soar among the masters of Light. In your eyes I see love, peace, and harmony. You touched my heart.”

work has changed a bit. I am now moving more slowly into my approach to the body. I feel my energy shifting in all regards and that I am more open to spirit and in connecting with the person on my healing table. In the last week, two people have had great shifts and releasing. They both actually had emotional releases even after my session with them, crying hysterically. Well I wanted to run back in the room and comfort them, but I just felt that it was best to let them have that time for themselves. Of course, I wasn’t far away and they knew that. I am becoming clearer and clearer. I help others to heal, and much of what they need to heal is what I have already experienced or am experiencing. I just want to say again, Thank You for Who You Are.”

shy since it felt like most people already knew one another but it didn’t take long before their warm, loving ways helped me to feel very much included in the group. I was so honored to work with such courageous spirits. I feel that I grew in leaps and bounds by the time we all said good-bye.”

how to refill by imagining how wonderful and different our lives can be! I really enjoyed learning the cranial healing work. I also enjoyed sitting in the sun at the pond, the Easter egg hunt, going to the Church, getting to know everyone, and our ending ceremony! Last but not least, I enjoyed connecting with nature and ‘learning how to ask and discover the many dimensions hidden beneath each thing we can touch or see.”

your words of truth and encouragement in each of your publications and I wanted to let you know how your messages have touched me and continually remind me that I am part of a perfect plan for good.”

God-light. I have experienced many challenges in this last year and although the lessons have at times been painful, as soon as I embrace them, love on them and let them go, I begin to refill and heal with the peace I have for so long searched to find. Together with your love, support, teachings and healings, I am growing at such a fast and furious speed. Yet the biggest gift you give me is the opportunity to see myself rightly in you, my mirror. Thank you for the awakening, for your unconditional love and kindness and for giving me a spiritual family that I look so forward to sharing my life with.”

meditations and prayers opened me up bit by bit until that tremendous final ceremony shook my heart and soul wide open. I am still filled to overflowing with loving Presence. Thank you from the deepest reaches of my heart for a profoundly transformational week and for introducing me to a truly magnificent new spiritual family!”

I most enjoyed the soul retrieval where I clearly was able to connect with my intuitive gifts.”

Isagenix shakes. The self-inventory moving into breath-work served both as immediate healing and as a map for future work, which I find very helpful. The whole experience of the Sufi Dancing was exquisite, as were the group’s Osho tarot and aura/past life readings. The yoga and chi kung was great, and I especially enjoyed the exposure to kundalini yoga, which I had never experienced before. The mastery workshop was an initiation for me to complete the transition from my old (secular) life into that of a healer.”

my husband got up from his seat unassisted. He also walked alone from the fellowship hall into the lobby to meet you. And on the way home when we stopped at the gas station, he got out of the car and washed the windows! What progress!”

Mother/Father God. I am doing much healing work now and one day I pray that I will be able to make it to your Retreat and learn and grow more in the Spiritual life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

of you who made this a wonderful week!!”

and relationships. I am so grateful! I love the energy at The Avalon Retreat Center! The creek, the woods, the labyrinth, landscaping, and fountains all lend to a peaceful, grounding and magical environment perfect for the workshops. I always enjoy the movement exercises” yoga, qigong, breath work and dance. The meditations were beautiful and rich. Highlights of the course work for me include learning acupressure, a deeper understanding of cranio-sacral therapy, and increased understanding and application of tracking exercises. I especially value the clear, distilled system for attaining deep, whole being, soul-level healing. I love how Michael revisits and ties together the commonalities of the teachings in just the right amount. Overall, I appreciate how simple, streamlined and yet profound each of the teachings are, making it easy to integrate the totality of the learning into daily life and healing work. Also very meaningful to me are all of the staff and attendee contributions. I am so impressed and grateful for each soul’s willingness to show up with their gifts, and candidly with their challenges alike. I loved seeing people who didn’t consider themselves healers or intuitive drop in and share their gifts easily with each of the exercises. The container and each soul’s presence provided a safe place to go deep, balanced with a lot of play and levity. I am so grateful for the time with each of you and hope to deepen our connection as we continue on our journey.”

around the room, I felt like every breather was in very good hands. The lesson that I hope everybody took with them is that you really shouldn’t wait until you’ve ‘got it all together to start helping others. What people need is YOU, just the way you are, this moment, every moment. Keep breathing!”

was so embarrassed because my baby kept crying and felt we were interrupting the privacy of these awe-inspiring spiritual leaders. Next thing I knew, you were walking towards us, which I assumed was to ask us to keep our baby quiet. Instead, you kindly asked if you could hold our baby. I watched in amazement, as she grew quiet. Then you suggested that my husband and I join the table of speakers, which was such a gift. Then you sat over in the corner rocking my baby to sleep and remained with her afterward for an hour. This may sound like an odd testimonial, since it’s not about a session or workshop, But it is still an important example of a teacher who ‘walks his talk in a profound, yet, simple demonstration. All these years later, I still feel moved. Now that’s real healing!”

short time that there was more to uncover or another issue with which to deal. Knowing this, it is understandable that I am not the same person at all anymore. Even since the last time I saw you, more progress has been made on my journey. Interestingly, the more that I do uncover, own, and change the more beautiful and peaceful it feels inside . . . no more sense of urgency or need to control my life and no more fear. Now, I’m just enjoying the journey. I am becoming a grown up . . . For the first time in my life and it’s exhilarating. When I met you I thought I was an adult, but I was a very little child. Now, although I embrace the playfulness of youth and the heart and innocence of a child, I am balancing that with the emotional maturity and responsibility of an adult. I don’t know where I go from here, but I am sure it will be interesting.”

I learned so much, feel so satiated by the love and commitment from all who were there, and grateful to my teacher Michael for how he wove together such a beautiful tapestry of materials and experiences that has provided me with profound revelations and realizations. I am so grateful to you all.”

have been integrating and I have already begun to feel ‘lighter! One thing in particular is that you helped me release the old relationship I had with my dad. That was so incredibly powerful for me, but I didn’t realize just how powerful it was until I had to see him again. In the past, when I knew that I had to see him, I would get stressed and feel sick to my stomach. But yesterday before I saw him I was relaxed, rather than nauseous, and when he tried to ‘push my buttons throughout the day, he didn’t get to me at all-I didn’t feel any ‘charge from his words, and I was able to just smile at him. That was so awesome! And the best part is, that with the prayer/meditation you taught me, my connection to God is far greater and I’ve been manifesting things that I desire more quickly. Lately I’ve been feeling like I am on the precipice of something wondrous, even though I’m not quite there, yet. One thing that I do know for certain is that the work we did and all that I have learned from you so far is part of what is helping me get to my Grand Opening. Over the last 24 years, I’ve studied many spiritual traditions and practices, and have been privileged to learn from many Masters on my journey. I’ve been Blessed to be in the presence of amazing and holy Beings. I want you to know that I haven’t met a Master in a long time whose Spirit and Energy and Wisdom and Love resonates within me in the way that you do, Michael. I knew that I was being called to seek you out, and I am so happy that I listened to my inner guidance. I feel energized, inspired, excited, motivated, and humbled by all that I have received from you in such a short time. Michael. You are not only a Master, but a true Spiritual Luminary. Thank You for sharing your wisdom and Love in such a Beautiful and profound way. My cup runneth over as tears trickled down my cheeks.”

house was in such abundance.”

emotionally, mentally, intuitively, and spiritually. Much was covered in the five days and the pace you created just flowed and seemed effortless. I loved your humor and have a new connection with how the chakras work together. My life is so different now and I can see it mirrored in the faces of my husband, sons, friends, and colleagues. I came home filled with inspiration and exuberance. My acknowledgements to the staff at Avalon for all the devoted service they provided throughout to make it such a warm, loving space.”

Unity of Sedona. I have known from my first meeting with you the depth of the impact you bring to those willing to engage and  participate in the reception of the calling out of the frozen, disassociated thought forms that hide behind the experiences of trauma. After your recent advanced healing workshop at Unity, I am deeply changed and ask that you continue to teach and share your experience, wisdom, and mastery with this group of souls who are so dedicated to healing others at the deepest levels and have come to you for training. In this particular workshop, I saw a woman, freed from trauma, and reborn into integrity, right in front of a group of people who were also being changed at depth on so many levels. I am moved and inspired by your work and continue to study all that  you share with us. So please continue to assist in the development of many more Master Healers. It is truly what our world is calling forth and is clearly your forte!”

agitated and use everything I’ve learned in this course to become more calm and productive with work, friends, and family.”

using these throughout my day and they’re really helping me with my emotional and more obsessive/compulsive behaviors. I have come to appreciate and trust Michael’s commitment to God and his healing practice even more. It is inspiring! There were so many wonderful activities at this workshop. The information about the history of the universe was clear, informative, and intriguing. The closing circle, initiation into the Christ Consciousness, was transformative. When I laid down in the middle of the circle I felt the amplification of energy, all the light, in my body. As my heart chakra opened, I felt as if my entire chest was being pulled up to the ceiling, that my breath was deep and being pulled through my body to my feet. I felt like I was in the zone of Jesus, Mary, and of course the circle of meditators and you, Michael. I do feel like I have attained a new spiritual level.”

go back to my former way of thinking. I had such a tremendous release during the breath-work, I would say it was nothing short of a miracle! I was amazed at how quickly, in the workshop environment, I could feel safe enough to let go and how deeply powerful the emotion erupted from my soul! No counseling, therapy or prescription drugs have ever been so profoundly beneficial! I had another peak experience during the anger work. I have to credit my healing partner during that exercise for being so right there for me, supportive, strong and loving, she said the exactly right words at the right moment! I left feeling healed from the inside out and it was very encouraging to hear I had helped others too.”

in the hospital. After reading your book, which I now keep in my purse, I feel normal again. I feel safe and able to better understand my journey.”

she didn’t just release, instead, she experienced some real healing. I am always amazed by how much ground we cover in Michael Mirdad’s workshops. Furthermore, the love and mastery he brings to teaching and healing is unsurpassed. I now feel inspired to attend the next healing workshop, to further hone my skills and deepen my understanding, as well as my own healing€“something all healers should do.”

an incredible journey into ourselves ”our true selves”our Divine selves. I feel lighter, happier and much more able to move forward in my personal life and my healing practice. It has shifted my perspective and my energy just as I was hoping it would. What a gift!”

for myself and everyone around me. Also, I love how it helped me to understand how we are all connected on all levels. So it is bringing me closer to GOD on all levels.”

the souls, I shared the five days with. Words really have no way of expressing the respect, love and admiration I have for each person. Through my conversations with other attendees, I truly saw the Christ in each and knew we were Divinely led to share this experience together. What a privilege to have the opportunity to spend time with such people. I remember the day down by the stream and feeling the love of Mother Earth rising from the ground up through my entire body, the vision of love flowing up through each of my chakras. I remember the day we discussed I love you from the ‘I AM perspective. I  felt and knew what it means to truly say I love you. I remember after doing the breathwork, I went outside and spent time alone. I was looking at the beautiful mountains and then suddenly I began to cry as my entire life flashed before me. The life I saw contained the wonderful moments as well as the not so wonderful moments. But I was filled with appreciation beyond what I have ever felt, appreciation for it all, not just the pleasant moments. I knew that it all was for a reason and was all in Divine order. I then felt a peace come over me I have never felt. It was the peace that ‘passes all understanding.’ In that moment I knew/ felt with my whole being that all was okay. I remember this experience every night and every morning when I give appreciation. The prayers/decrees were absolutely fantastic. With each new decree, I felt a closer and closer connection to my true Christ nature. During the closing ceremony, I truly felt baptized. I felt the wholeness of the love of God coming from above into me. The vision I saw was love connecting my chakras then entering the earth. Again, I am forever grateful for this experience.  As Spirit has led me to say ‘Teacher” Thank You!”

sense that I wanted to go deeper into my spiritual practice but wasn’t sure how to get there. Now, a miracle later, I remain stunned by the magnitude and depth of your teachings and look forward to seeing you again when you return to my area.”

ACIM exercises, daily opening each of the chakras, history and insightful explanations of world events and how they relate to our current definition of who we are and where we are at as a race of humans on this planet at this time. Day-by-day, as our collective consciousness rose to meet the higher vibration of the Christ within, we all experienced huge, palpable shifts in our being. My ego bowed down in the Light of Christ and now Spirit leads my way.”

Course in Miracles (ACIM) and your lecture on ‘Applying the Principles of ACIM helped me so much to understand what ACIM is all about and I will be more eager now to study the material. Lastly, but the most important one of all is to thank you for the many good things you said to me when I had the Private Session with you. I am so glad I met you.”

only took about 24 hours for me to remember. I am so grateful to you, Michael, for showing me that the way to healing my issues and suffering, was to reconnect with God, and in 5 short days, which went way too quickly, I was reborn. Often, after other retreats, I am a bit depressed to go back to the ‘real world, but yesterday I returned home with excitement and passion for my life. And even more so, I left behind the relationships, patterns, and traumas that no longer align with the love and respect that I now call forth for my life. I want to share the healing tools we learned, and the daily practices that help us remember our inner Christ and our oneness with all. Not only to heal myself and those who seek my healing gifts, but with the knowing that as we heal ourselves we heal the world. The entire workshop seemed like it was planned around exactly what each person needed to heal our own soul level issues, and at the same time learn these tools and work with each other. The giving and receiving of healing and love was woven throughout everything we did, and each day was built seamlessly upon the day before masterfully! I am in such gratitude to everyone at Avalon who made the past 5 days true healing of the body and soul! And to Michael, thank you hardly seems like the right words. How do I thank you for helping me look into some of the darkest parts of my soul, and come out reborn radiating God’s love? I give thanks to God for all the healing that took place and the Miracle Workers who participated, and I look forward to returning to Avalon to continue my soul’s work.”

hearts and touched our souls. I know you hear it all the time, but You, dear Michael, are quite the blessing! All of us felt that the information you presented was perfect for the day-any day for that matter. A seminar or retreat on the subject of Mother and Father Love and healing; sharing how our relationships with our Mothers and Fathers reflect our relationships with God could touch so many people. It resonated with all of us-our beliefs around the feminine and masculine aspects of God are present in every encounter. I left wishing my daughter had been there. Looking forward to your next visit. In love and gratitude for all you do.”

negative attitudes and behaviors have ruled some of my life. I understand that some of the old patterns may come up in my life, may hook me but I now have a greater awareness and will not let these patterns rule me. Michael’s greatest teaching for me is how he models affectionate, connected, and unconditional love. Not that I think he does it perfectly all the time, but he seems incredibly more willing to try to do it that anyone I have ever met, especially of the male gender. This has also been my greatest challenge because I also did a great deal of work on the my self esteem. I realized in the breathwork that I have felt ‘too big in my life because I hadn’t yet felt fully welcome here on this planet. I now realize I not only belong here but I am powerful and powerfully needed to contribute my talents and strength to others. What I loved most about the workshop includes the following: Mastery concepts, Mindfulness, Focus, Centering breaths, Reiki, Qi-gong, Rock-climbing, Obstacle course, Prayers, Emotional healing, Breath-work, Sufi Dances, Great meals, and great new friends.”

the thinking and concentrating and spiritual work had me far hungrier than usual at each meal time and I was always very grateful for the nourishing and tasty meals. I think we all particularly appreciated the Sunday dinner. It was almost like our own ‘last supper!”

make positive changes.”

the divine being within and that I followed that guidance which brought me on the tour and to Sedona. These past two years have been a constant change for me. I have worked on releasing old thought patterns, healing this life and past lives, healing relationships, working on forgiveness not only for others but especially for myself. I thank you for all of your love, compassion, teachings and wisdom that has helped me to move to the next level of the Christ within me. You are truly an example of the truth that is God.”

your kindness.and may your kindness come right back at you tenfold.”

this time I breathe and remember to call on the inner ‘Genie.’ My kids think this is fun to do. They see me grabbing my journal when I have stuff in my head or getting overly emotional€“this is helping me recognize patterns of reactions quickly so that I can heal them using the tracking exercises we learned. My husband says I’m amazingly focused . . . ME . . . AMAZINGLY FOCUSED?! WOW!”

done I was hit with the next firestorm and was resurrected from the ashes, each time going deeper. When I was a little girl I had two dreams: First, I wanted to live to experience the 21st century, and Second, I wanted to experience the 2nd coming of Christ. Now I have accomplished both and I am thrilled! I am so happy to reconnect with Jesus, Mary, Angelic multitudes, Ascended Masters, and of course God.”

with clear intention and integrity. But I also love your sometimes odd humor and how you don’t need or want to be put on a pedestal. And I love how your passion feeds you beyond the rational. I am impressed with how you live in the moment and I so admire how you search for those timely opportunities to serve others, which, to an average observer, could seem like no big deal but to that person being served, it is everything. It is not only your teachings, but also because of your humanness, your example of mastery, and your encouragement for others that students like myself really come to believe that we can do what we came here to do. I’m grateful God led me to you. He knew I would be in good hands.”

It really is working and is a new part of my day that I enjoy very much. It seems so easy to feel God with me almost every moment throughout the day! The way the information is shared is easy to incorporate in all that I do. I have learned about myself, my thoughts, and how they affect my life. I am aware of things I never noticed before. Every week gets deeper and more interesting with nothing holding us back.”

going my way. I had kinda given up on the fact that life could be good, and I was always at odds with how God could create a world like this and send us to ‘hell when he is supposed to be loving and forgiving. I never had a use for organized religion; I always considered myself spiritual, but I still felt disconnected and lost. Seven years is a long time to be in the dark night of the soul, especially when it started at age 25. Everything you said in the course really resonated with me and I saw as the truth. I completely changed my attitude, and the miracles started rolling in, small and big!!! I guess the biggest miracle, like you said, was the ‘shift in my attitude. This has truly been a life-changing experience for me. I now have a promising job interview, I am on the path to getting out of debt, and I am approaching my relationship with my boyfriend from a whole different perspective. Most of all, I am experiencing the joy and peace that has been so elusive to me for so long. So thank you again!! Please keep up the good work, and I hope to attend more of your courses when your return to this area.”

power of this retreat. I was constantly being challenged to open, both physically and emotionally. I learned not only new tools to heal myself but also others. I was completely surprised by my ability to open and release through body work, and the energy that flowed through me during the cranial exercise blew me away. Learning EFT was fascinating. I am using it every day. I loved the anger release. The ‘resurrection exercise helped me two-fold (among others) . . . I realized I do need to open my heart more to myself and others and how good it felt to leave patterns behind.”

30 years experience in this current life. He is a conduit for the powerful healing promptings and messages that can be accepted by any person seeking the healing coming through him. These gifts are innately present in each of us, and he helps facilitate their activation in the individual.”

life dramatically. I’m no longer angry at males. That’s one good change. An even bigger change is this: Do you remember you told us in the workshop that sometimes in workshops, you noticed someone coming to you to hug you or shake hands with you, but they had a feeling like ‘I’m sorry such a trivial person like me is bothering you for a hug or handshake. In those cases, you said you would sometimes pull that person back towards you to shake their hand or hug them again, just to show that person that he or she was a valuable person enough to hug or shake hands again. Today while in the train on my way to school, I remembered your story above. In that moment I realized I could give love and be a healer in my own working place if I was conscious enough. While I’m teaching, when students are coming to me to talk about something or ask a question, by accepting them as a very valuable person and by cherishing moments with them, I too can be a healer. Before attending your workshop, I had been looking for a better way to be helpful teacher to my students. I thought I needed to learn some special way. However, I’ve realized, just giving love each moment makes big differences. The reason why I’m writing this mail is that I really want to tell you that attending your workshop and realizing this simple truth is like learning Alchemy for me. Now my daily life is full of wonder and discovery. And your book ‘Creating Fulfilling Relationships is also giving me great enlightenment. And, your attitude, that our first Priority should always be God, is great. Thank you very much again, and may God bless you always.”

It also caused deep self hatred and frustration for not being able to manage my thoughts, brain, and mood on my own. I’ve always been a naturally positive person, but it would just get so buried under psychology. Thus, the long awaited decision to stop trying to handle it myself and feeling miserable, to sucking it up and taking the pill. Then, in one of Michael’s talks, he spoke about ‘giving to Cesar what is Cesar’s, and ‘giving to God what is God’s. Michael said that if we have a headache, we can take a pill, but there’s more going on under it. Well, it clicked-in just the right way when he said that. I now have an immense weight lifted and feel 1000% more like my natural vibrant self again (but will still take my prescription). Now I have so MUCH MORE I can give to God! I have so MUCH MORE I can offer the world, and I am able to be that beautiful contribution to the world I believe I am meant to be. I always knew I have a lot to offer the world, but my head got in my way constantly, and took away from me being able to offer much of anything. The way Michael spoke about this seemed to give me the permission to take that pill without faulting myself. And to be grateful now that I have so much more to give to God.!!! And to know there are other things I can work on that are underlying those symptoms, but having the willpower and concentration now to carry out working on them. Many, many blessings.!!!”

. . none of the dots were connecting. My belief in God, myself, and my loved ones had been reduced to nothing. Nevertheless, when I heard about the workshop, I knew I had to attend. Then, after just one day of being with the group I knew I had made the right decision. I have been studying religion for 25 years . . . having a deep love for Christ. I walked away from the fundamentalist Christian viewpoint and began studying Judaism but again became disillusioned. This lead me to look into Eastern Religions, which sparked a flame inside of me that seemed to kindle the flame of my other, former beliefs but I did not understand or see the connection between the Eastern and Western philosophies. All of this then lead me to the metaphysical community where I felt a newness and freshness that had been missing in my fundamental circles. And now, this workshop tied all the different ancient beliefs together. Most importantly I found a new-found strength and serenity in my ‘secret love of the Christ. I feel ‘Born Again but in a way that seems grounded and secure in the reality that we are all here to become more like Christ. Now, not only do I want to live again, I want to love again (Myself and Others).”

diverse people received the perfect healing and information for each at this point on their path. The Heavenly Beings (angels, masters, etc) that show up to support your work, and this workshop in particular, is awesome! You and we are so blessed. I can’t think of a better way to spend Thanksgiving than nurturing Christ Consciousness.”

with high expectations but this far exceeded anything I imagined.”

place in my life, which is that I am responsible for what happens in my life, it is all about my choice in harmony with spirit. I have now learned to replace pain memories with present love and I am learning to love others without projections and expectations. There are really no words to express my gratitude of what I have learned.”

your next Thanksgiving with him, surrounded by countless seekers, and you’ll return to your life with a deeper sense of connection, a stronger inner knowing, and a freedom born from the greatest truth this world has ever known.”

see past lives in others, especially since all of us seemed to be intuiting the same information. Also, although I have trouble being in big groups of people, I have gained an inner strength towards it now. Lastly, the meals were incredible. I never had it that good at home.”

time we spent with Michael and all the like-minded souls was priceless!”

took everything away and now I am open for everything new. One thing is that I have had a disconnection with my daughter for quite some time now, when I got home, the love that was still flourishing through me that I received from everyone there came out of me and was given to my daughter in a big hug. She said to Grandma ‘My mommy is so different, she loves me now!!! That was just amazing!!! Everyone here at home has said that I seem so different, sound different, and look different. I just feel so excited, refreshed, renewed and ready for more. I have already made airline arrangements for the next workshop!!!”

as to who Christ is.”

fact and visual evidence of Christ Consciousness throughout history. It became apparent to me that our planet, the universe, and the beyond is infused with the essence of Christ. I was deeply touched by the readings particularly the discussion of Mary Magdalene. I felt new areas of my core soften and open to let Christ’s Awareness more deeply penetrate my soul. Mealtime sharing, dancing, and evening activities were engaging and fun! The closing ceremony was the ultimate culmination of a perfect event and brought the experience to a pinnacle of understanding in what it means to accept the indwelling Christ within each of us.”

on God’s divine presence to fill me with love and light and visualizing what that love and light will look like in my life on that day, tracking exercises to help me purge old patterns of ego reaction at the same time increasing my self awareness, a commitment to continuing to seek out healing therapies to aid in the dismantling of my past and a renewed respect for Christ consciousness. It was very meaningful to me to witness a Master in the flesh living out his soul purpose moment to moment for several days in a row. Watching Michael is a study in the supernatural. The amount of tasks that were accomplished in each 24 hour period seemed to defy time, the amount of love expressed to so many defied what is common to man, and the amount of focused, accessible information that was downloaded into each of our minds defied logic. It was also an honor to find myself surrounded by a group of souls with such passion for spiritual mastery. My choice to attend this workshop has forever changed my life.”

I prefer the feeling of peace and complete ‘Oneness. The rebirthing showed me that I sometimes use breath as a means to control my life, and when the breath was trying flow freely, I fought it every step of the way. Ironically, I want so much to connect freely with God, yet one of the easiest ways to do this is through breath and I keep holding mine. The Sufi dancing was fabulous. I don’t think my heart has ever been that open and full of joy. Journaling helped to realize that I’m afraid of opening myself up to others for fear of being judged as not good enough. To say that I learned a lot about myself during this experience is definitely an understatement. What is truly amazing about this intensive is that every exercise seemed to connect to another in revealing, healing, and integrating.”

saw a man, whom I believed to be Jesus, had worked on her heart, and from that I understood she was receiving a spiritual healing. Also, before I left for Italy I read your book, The Seven Initiations of the Spiritual Path, and I loved it! I had started reading it a second time, to digest it more, and so decided to put it in my suitcase. I am so glad I did! As I went to the mourning of losing my mom, it helped me to put everything into prospective and understand what initiation I was going through. Thank you for your work on the book! It is definitely one of those books that I have to keep reading, as with every experience I am learning something new about myself.”

world than I ever imagined. Self-doubt and low self-esteem are now simply impossible to hang onto. Michael’s keen sense of what each individual needed at the workshop was inspiring and helped to truly open my eyes and heart to those around me. Also, I have the utmost respect for how Michael eased me into myself while giving me the tools to see clearly all the (unrealized) gifts I have been blessed with. My soul’s purpose has never been so clear and I leave the workshop knowing, with certainty, I am able to help others see their light as we join together as a beacon for God. I LOVE MY LIFE.”

I didn’t let my feeling of ‘fear & de-separation prevent from me from attending. This was the most powerful workshop experience I’ve ever had. The first couple of days I could feel the processing begin, and then, BAM! the meditation where we rec’d Holy Spirit energy blew me wide open. Once again, Michael’s mastery of intuitively knowing what we as individuals need, and what we, as the collective group, need awes me. The prayers, meditations, and exercises worked to open me up, clean me out, and so importantly to refill with God’s Presence. I feel the Christ presence so much more profoundly after this week. This was the BEST workshop and the BEST group ever! It astounds me the amount of material and exercises we cover in what seems to be such a short time.”

my body, emotions, mind, and heart. Missing pieces of the universal puzzle are now found! I also feel a worthiness to connect to Christ and his teachings; even deciphering scripture was fun and exciting. Applying the initiations of Christ to our own lives, revealing the part of our ego and the illusions of this world, imparting wisdom of Apostleship and enabling us to bring that awareness with us daily, has given me the tools to reach through the veil and find my way back to the kingdom of Heaven.”

in order to recognize barriers to my spiritual growth which caused a lot of anxiety and confusion. In each one of three sessions I received guidance and tools that helped me break through. I found that his ‘Daily Communion’ exercise continues to be very pivotal in progressing along my path. Michael’s presence felt like a Beacon in the Storm and I am very grateful to him for being there. It is amazing how much more progress towards Love we can make, when the ‘student is ready and the teacher appears’. Thank you for your service Michael and for your entire support staff!”

me to call for a private session. Several hours later I was meeting with this relaxed, warm man who would become my teacher, healer, and friend. This session brought me a great distance in self-awareness, growth and healing. But besides a soul-level healing, Michael taught me to replace the pain with Light and Love. Next I chose to attend one of Michael’s 5-day Healing Workshops at his retreat. I learned a multitude of healing modalities plus received more personal healing. During the workshop, I was helping with a demonstration, when Michael’s intuition and healing skills brought up long-buried pain. I was overcome with terror from a 40-year-old episode and could no longer deny childhood trauma that was affecting my life today. I have discovered from working with him, that Michael receives truths directly from a greater Source. It was with this innovative, sometimes brutally honest insight that my partner and I, separately and as a couple, have been able to work through and heal wounds on an emotional and sometimes physical level. This has now taught me how to more fully engage with my partner and with others.”

changes in my life since I met you. I am so very grateful for your incredible workshops and the personal healings. When we met I was challenging the world to love me as I was. But you led me to a place where deep healing happens. This depth of healing has continued in my life, with your help, and I reap the benefits daily and in all areas. I feel healthy, vibrant, strong, powerful, attractive and sexy! I am finally ready to do what I came here to do.”

I felt stronger and more grounded. This workshop rounded out one year of intense healing and the results I’m experiencing in my life are indescribable.”

left the retreat feeling centered and empowered and freed of much of my past pain and illusions. The highlight for me was certainly the closing meditation and ceremony. I can honestly say I have never experienced anything like it. Michael is a gift and has been instrumental in helping me to completely change my life for the better. The spiritual gifts granted in attending his workshops are beyond measure, Michael’s commitment to God-centered teachings and love permeate all he does.”

It has empowered me and put me face to face with myself, creating much needed shifts. I am so grateful to be a part of such an empowering and inspirational course.”

Honolulu. I loved the stories you told, the teachings on Sacred Sexuality, the breathing exercises, and the teachings on balancing all aspects of our life and being€”mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional. Now, I look forward to each day as a miracle!”

life. The wisdom and teachings are priceless, but the expanded awareness that comes with my understanding, wow.I have searched for the larger pattern, the over-reaching, and intellectually I understand. But not until this course did I begin to truly feel a part of it all. I’m so grateful for the wisdom and the experience, which has brought me the peace, foundation, and deep trust I have always been searching for. I’m not alone, and I’m not missing anything! So many reconnections happened for me. Also, the review weeks, and the decrees in this course, were just what was needed. Developing balanced self-discipline is a my biggest ‘challenge and this course has been well.a God send!”

A client of mine told me that her most recent massage with me was her ‘Best ever. I shared with her about our beautiful closing wherein we received a blessing and healing from Jesus, Mother Mary, and Mary Magdalene.”

on how to strive for Mastery. One of the most important tenets was simply to “Focus and Go!” This is applicable in all areas of life. I also really like the idea of “Divide and Conquer”especially when a task seems overwhelming. We also learned some great healing techniques which we can use with ourselves and with others. But the best part of all was the camaraderie that developed between the attendees. “Love loves love.”

want a boost in how to live the Course lessons, this is the perfect retreat. My compliments also go to our chef who came out with one tasty meal after the other. No one went hungry no matter what their dietary preferences were. The retreat grounds exuded a special sacred atmosphere. Thank you to Michael and his loving team of helpers.”

The workshop was a wonderful experience and created friendships for a lifetime. Many people take this workshop more that once and I can definitely see why.”

I am so grateful for the beautiful surroundings that encased and increased our awareness and for Michael’s knowledge, practicality, love, humor, teaching, caring, and guidance. I’m honored to have been part of an amazing group and grateful too for being able to take part in the growth and sharing. The whole experience was life changing and affirming for me. Thank you, thank you! I’ll see you at the Healing Workshop Intensive!”

62-yea- old retired gentleman whom I have been meeting with in therapy/spiritual direction weekly for five years. He’s a man of faith, but had previously thought of taking his own life and is clinically very depressed. He’s been very angry at God at the way his life turned out. So I gave him Michael’s CD on ‘You’re Not Going Crazy.’ After listening to the CD, he could not give it back to me. He listened and listened daily, and sometimes many times daily. So I just let him keep it. And now he’s a changed man. There’s something about Michael and  his energy and his language and his expression that was just what this man needed to push him out of the birth canal. I have not seen him this motivated or clear about anything in the five years we’ve been meeting. He’s devouring Michael’s concepts of God loves his humor. While I am sure this kind of growth is happening to many people in many places that experience Michael, I still had to write. Every single soul that is affected should be celebrated!”

beginning of finding out who I am: A loving, curious, insightful, compassionate, friendly woman. What do I love? I love yoga. I love campfires. I love to dance. I love to focus and learn. I love to hug. I love back massages. I love to be playful. I LOVE to laugh. I love to meet new people. I love the experience of trying/accepting new things. I love nature and the stars in the sky. I love to just be me. No masks, no hiding . . . to just be me without judgment. And each and every person allowed me to do that. I am so grateful.”

I’m excited to even imagine this! My mind, my body, my whole self, more and more capable of receiving the vibration of Christ, of Love! Also, the advanced meditation we learned in this course is absolutely remarkable!!!”

on a level I have not been able to tap into before, that I am love and light. I understand that my soul’s purpose is to be exactly what I am in this body and time. Michael’s teaching the basics of breathing and stretching, as well as concepts of divide, conquer, focus and go seemed simplistic at first. But then I realized these simple guidelines can help me move through some very difficult challenges in my life. I feel a sense of peace and love that I have not known before. I pray that through practice of the techniques presented, I’ll carry on in life with this powerful knowing of how truly loved I am.”

as natural as love (something we are born with but forgot), and use it to break through the blocks and fears that surround us all. Thank you for that!”

appears whose romance with life is so beautiful and rare, so whimsical and holy that, without any effort at all, he enchants us with his extraordinary gift for living. Such people are life’s magicians, purveyors of joy, imagineers of the uncommon. They stir our pots: they ruffle our feathers. They paste twinkling stars on the dark sky of life’s ordinariness. Living by magic, they let us recapture the magic in ourselves. Knowing that love is the only real magic there is, they invite us again with their words, with their ways, with their dreams, with their faith-to believe in the magical power of love. Today let your heart be ribboned with thanks for the person whose magic has beautifully altered your life. Thanks, Michael, for ruffling my feathers, pasting stars on my sky and for being a magical person.”

evangelical Christian church for many years, but as I have aged (am now 61) I find I have had many times where I’ve felt been feeling quite unsettled about it. I realize I’m searching for answers and peace. I have read your book You’re not going Crazy.and have recently started reading Healing the Heart & Soul. I feel I may be at the beginning of a new journey which is both exciting and scary at the same time. My friend and my daughter each had the priviledge of seeing you in private session today and I know they both were impacted greatly by the experience. Bless you for the work that you do.”
