Praise for the Work of Michael Mirdad
Students, authors, teachers and more rave about the impact Michael Mirdad has made on their lives through his books, workshops, and sessions.
From Authors & Teachers
A beautifully-package and well-written book by a modern-day spiritual master!
I’ll repeat myself by saying that this is a beautifully-package and well-written book by a modern-day spiritual master. It is simple, yet profound with lots of subtle bits of humor sprinkled in. This is a book of ancient wisdom told with modern terms like “download this into your mind.” This… is my second full reading of the book in the last four days. It has the feel of a workshop with its lessons, exercises, examples, and prayers. I plan on keeping this book by my bed so that I can read the prayers before I go to sleep at night. I’ve been through several crash and burn situations in my life that have been largely unnoticed by anyone except me. I now realize the value of fully understanding the Dismantling, Emptiness, and Disorientation phases of the Soul Transformation Process. During my tough times, I didn’t know how depressed I could get, how I’d lose friends, and how I’d be subjected to unkind ridicule. Now I know that’s all part of the process.

Open Hearted
“I had a wonderful time leading Dances of Universal Peace at the Living Mastery Workshop. Being a dance leader is akin to being an orchestra conductor: the skill and direction of the conductor is important, but so is the composer, and of course, the orchestra itself. I must say that… the participants of the Living Mastery workshop were a wonderful ‘orchestra -responsive, open-hearted and enthusiastic.” Read more “Open Hearted”
Speaks from his Heart
“Michael Mirdad speaks from his heart and reaches directly to the heart of his audiences. Michael’s entertaining anecdotes combine perfectly with his wealth of knowledge and passion for teaching. But one of the things I love most about him is his commitment to teaching Christ Consciousness. I respect and love… Michael so much for being unafraid to be who he is and for blazing trails back into Oneness. Michael Mirdad heals with his very presence and words.” Read more “Speaks from his Heart”
Spiritual Heights
“Michael Mirdad brings incredible joy to everything he does and shares. He is simple. He is profound. He is everyman. He is unique. He is, in fact, unique in being SO unique. He brings spirituality down to earth. He raises life on earth to spiritual heights. Put any form of… encounter with him on your bucket list.” Read more “Spiritual Heights”
Very Moved
“As a channel for Mary Magdalene and communicator of her teaching, I’m particularly sensitive to how other spiritual teachers relate to the Feminine. I attended one of Michael Mirdad’s presentations at Unity of Sedona and was very moved. In Michael’s message, I heard a strong voice of the Masculine that… felt aligned to the Feminine. It had been a long time since I’d heard a teaching I was in complete agreement with and could fully open to without needing to shield myself from parts that misrepresented or maligned the Feminine. What a gift to my heart!” Read more “Very Moved”
World Class Teacher
“Michael Mirdad is a world class teacher who has earned the respect of countless students and teachers both in and out of the A Course in Miracles community. He teaches with great knowledge and authority, and I highly recommend him on both a professional and personal level.”
Consciousness Raising
“In the most fun-loving and down-to-earth fashion, Michael Mirdad is assisting in the consciousness raising and broadening of personal perceptions, which are changing society. I was personally touched by the sincerity and love which is the basis of his work.”
Brilliant
“Brilliant is the first word that comes to mind when we think of Michael Mirdad. Each time we hear him speak, he takes us to a deeper level of knowledge and understanding.”
From Private Sessions
Deep Peace
“Omg Michael . . . I have to tell you about my realization this am. We had a session a few weeks ago, and you told me to ask the Mother to help me heal at the deepest level. So I have been asking. Well, so many people I thought… of as friends, we’re just not (to put it simply). As I am realizing this, I felt like, “What the heck! What the heck is going on here?” And then, this morning, I asked God, “What is up here? Why have so many of my relationships been like this” Then, BOOM, I got a download: “This is what you asked for, this is part of your healing, your growing and shedding of the old stuff that will no longer work, not ever more.” And then a feeling of deep peace flooded my body/being. Sorry . . . it takes me a while to catch on at times, but eventually I get it! :-)” Read more “Deep Peace”
True Healing Began
“Dear Michael Mirdad: I had a session with you a few months ago. During our session I was struggling with an overly sensitive nervous that I was allowing to basically ruin my life. I gave up on spirituality and lost my faith in teachers and my fear of men basically… cut me off from half of society. I found myself homeless without a job, and away running anytime someone got too close. I went to the chapel on the hill to pray to god and was led to you. I knew a miracle had taken place as soon as you were in my energy field I began releasing stores of repressed and inherited emotion. At first I was triggered by some of your insights/comments. But I knew there was something there for me to work through. After the session I immediately got a job, found a temporary living situation, and the true healing began. I also took your online relationship course, which put the miracle on super speed. I had to face my fears around men, rejection, rape, anger, hatred, and feeling safe. I don’t think this letter is doing you justice or sharing how grateful I am for your service to me. I pray that you can feel the energy of my gratitude for helping my overcome some deep stuff. There are really no words, but thank you. “ Read more “True Healing Began”
Loved the Lecture and Session
“I am able to read people very well, so when I initially met you at your lecture several weeks ago I knew I wanted to have a session with you. Your energy is so powerful, yet gentle. The group at the lecture loved you. You knew how to connect with… all of us. You are ‘the Real Deal. During our private session, you were so easily able to pick up my challenges in this lifetime. You were also able to see some of my past lives. When you mentioned them to me I smiled because that was just another confirmation for me to see how good and accurate you truly are. Thank you for being an Angel.” Read more “Loved the Lecture and Session”
The BEST Birthday gift!
“Thank you again Michael! I left my session with you yesterday feeling so uplifted, and I think if I could sum up what I want to tell you, it’s simply this” You are awesome!! Really just awesome:) I’m sure everybody gets the same sense being around you, that they wish… they could clone you and bring you around with them daily to just have such a wonderful friend in their lives all the time:) Today is my birthday, and last year at this time you were also in Amesbury at Unity, and I had only just happened upon knowing you were coming during my very first visit to that church” I saw your flyer on that first visit and thought, I’m going to go to the workshop as a birthday gift to myself. I did go, and felt like I was giving myself something truly special! I enjoyed it so much, I scheduled my first private session with you during the most difficult time in my life on one of your next visits, and came away from it with so much. It’s now my birthday again, a year later, and here I am having given myself a very wonderful birthday gift again. I am thankful I found Unity last year, and in turn found you, and have benefited so much.!All the Best, back to you!!” Read more “The BEST Birthday gift!”
Floating in Peace & Success!
“Since our private session on Friday I have been living in a miracle beyond words!!! Everything is filled with Love and I feel guided by God with each breath. I am floating and I don’t need much sleep or even much food. I want to thank you from my heart.… I’m having a little trouble describing how magnificent it is even this email is hard for me to write. My home life is just blooming, my real estate is easy, my meditation is meaningful and time just doesn’t exist. I don’t know what else to say right now.” Read more “Floating in Peace & Success!”
A Miraculous Calm!
“Dear Michael: Thank you for the miracle of a session with you. The deep kindness of your healing touch is with me still. I have a sense of calm that I did not have before. I have no doubt that you reached and healed my wounded inner child. Now I… will work to keep her strong. I will be forever grateful.” Read more “A Miraculous Calm!”
A Change of Heart!
“In May of 2006 I was exhibiting all the symptoms of heart failure. It came on very suddenly and I went through a lot of testing (i.e. CT scans, X rays, full body ultra sounds and an echocardiogram). They found that I have a valve in my heart that does… not close all the way, but they wanted to recheck it. After my private session with you I have not had any return of symptoms. The reason I’m telling you this now is because after I had an EKG and some other evaluative testing, he said he could find almost no trace of my valve issue. He also said if he didn’t have it documented through the echocardiogram he would not have ever known I had an issue.He said my heart is in excellent health and I do not have to worry about it anymore! I told him my panic attacks have gone away too. Then he noticed my weight loss and asked me what was going on with me. I told him it was a spiritual experience, he smiled and said you’re doing great . . . keep it up! What’s happening to me is so beautiful and I’m so appreciative..” Read more “A Change of Heart!”
Touched By Compassion
“Hello Michael, I just wanted to write and thank you for the session we had in Lexington, MA. I wanted to tell you that I didn’t know what was going to happen within the session but did not expect to be reduced to tears and a quivering mass of emotional… jelly within the first fifteen minutes. I have never met someone who touched me so deeply within my soul and with such love and compassion. Thank you for your kindness and your big heart. Please keep up your great work.” Read more “Touched By Compassion”
A Beacon of Love & Light
“Dear Michael: You are such a beacon of love and light to this world. I met you last year and did a private session wherein we discussed my career and my book that was waiting patiently to be birthed. I practiced the “homework” faithfully that you gave me regarding both… of my issues and voila…I retired from my career and my new career as an author has blossomed! I am now having fun and inspiring others and being inspired myself as well. You impact the world greatly with your words, thoughts, and energy. I am grateful my son met you as well. You loved him as he was, knowing he was whole and complete. It truly made a difference in his life. God speed!” Read more “A Beacon of Love & Light”
My Gratitude for Many Gifts
“Over the years, I have heard Michael Mirdad speak several times at Unity churches. Always, I found his talks to be practical and humorous. He made A Course In Miracles not only something I could understand, but concepts I could live by. His messages struck a deeper chord and something prompted… 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.” Read more “My Gratitude for Many Gifts”
Standing in Gratitude!
“I wanted to thank you again for all the healing energy I received from our private sessions together, which is still serving me now, weeks later! I understand that healing almost never happens in a split second, but instead happens in layers, over time (as did the trauma), as long… as we are willing to continue the work. As a result of our sessions, I am finding myself healing at a much more rapid rate now than ever before! I stand in gratitude and appreciation of you! I also tried to capture the essence of GOD, and even more importantly, the fact that we ARE God! After reading so many of your books and hearing you speak and our private sessions, I think I finally understand that this is one of your greatest teachings! If I am a part of God, and I truly believe this, without any doubt, then there is NOTHING that I cannot have. In fact, there is nothing that I even NEED! I am complete and whole and PERFECT right here and now! With this new perspective, I feel so Powerful! I realize that, in my human form, so long as I remember that I am indeed a part of GOD, I am WORTHY of everything and anything I desire! ‘And So It Is!” Read more “Standing in Gratitude!”
Tears of Joy
“In my private session with Michael, I was finally released from bondage. I laughed and cried tears of joy, as it became very apparent to me why I chose a past of multiple marriages and numerous sexual partners. I now understood that what I was searching for was not a relationship… but instead was something sacred. I now know I do not have to sacrifice my body or act out in destructive ways to have something sacred. As I write this I can feel this awesome energy flowing through me, which is DIVINE ENERGY, the energy I had been seeking all along. I also now understand why I claimed this year to be my year of new birth. So I choose to no longer misdirect this Divine Energy in destructive manic ways; instead I will allow it to flow and birth the gifts of Spirit through me; Love, Peace, Joy, Abundance, Healthy Relationships, Health, Bliss! Another very important component to my healing was the conversation I had with my daughter on my way home. I was expressing my sincere gratitude for you and how grateful I was for honoring my intuitive voice to attend your workshop and have a private session. My daughter reminded me that I had always said that I wished I could meet a man I could love and respect but without being sexual. Then she pointed out that I have actually had this during the many years I have known you. What you have given to me Michael, no other man has, honor. Thank you for showing me what love and respect truly look like. Now I move forward, honoring myself, knowing what to create for myself. Namaste.” Read more “Tears of Joy”
Painless and Light
“I was totally floored by my private session. For the rest of the day whenever I closed my eyes, my third eye was emblazoned with golden light. I could barely function on a mundane level. My back was no longer in pain; I felt a great sense of peace, and… could not tell if my feet were touching the ground. Our session certainly surpassed all of my expectations. You are an Extra-extraordinary being-filled with love.” Read more “Painless and Light”
Giving Back
“You have helped me over the last past several years to become stronger and more assertive. You have given me the tools to make positive changes in my life, to improve my personal relationships, and to believe in myself. I am thankful for the opportunity to give back and contribute… to the healing and spiritual growth of the individuals that attend at Avalon. I pray that you receive all the funding that you need and can only image what an uplifting and life changing experience it must be for those you attend.” Read more “Giving Back”
Healing My Sexual Issues!
“I just want to write you to THANK YOU again for the great change you gave to our life. I feel so much alive. My husband cannot believe what is happening to our sex life, nor can I. It feels like I am another person! I am no longer feeling… the weird feelings I used to have when I am having sex with him or when he touches me. I used to hate it! I couldn’t even kiss him. When he touched me I felt awful! And this was for many, many years! Furthermore, I had sex with my husband only as an act of duty for over ten years and even then, I would never kiss him. I couldn’t! I felt sick to do it. Well tonight we had such a great time! I am FEELING SO NICE! I can now kiss him with passion! And we have fun having sex. Also, I am taking greater care of my body, my art is more expressive, and I am working with more passion. And really feel more alive than before. Thank you for helping me. You are really an angel of God!” Read more “Healing My Sexual Issues!”
A New Life & Relationship!
“Thanks to you I’ve been seeing a guy now since April. He’s wonderful, loving, and attentive. I know that all the personal work I’ve done and our sessions together, have helped me open up and feel comfortable with Men€“for the first time. It’s amazing. This is my first long-term relationship… with a man and it’s going really well. Thanks so much for EVERYTHING. I can’t tell you enough how much our work together has influenced my path. I think that I’ve called an amazing man into my life and I feel very lucky.” Read more “A New Life & Relationship!”
Alive and Grateful!
“After my Private Session, I woke up the next morning feeling physically lighter, like I lost 10 pounds, very cool. My abdomen was open, like the blanket that was on it, was lifted, no sensation of fear in that area. My shoulder which was worked on, feels tender yet amazingly… better. My knee was also worked on and I’ve had no discomfort going up and down the stairs. If I had to describe in one word what I felt like when I got out of bed, it would be ALIVE! Okay a second word: GRATEFUL!!!” Read more “Alive and Grateful!”
Life Changing Opportunity!
“Dear Michael: It’s been some time since my private session, so I wanted to fill you in on what happened as a result. When I came to you, I had hit a road-block in my recovery from neurological Lyme disease. I was unresponsive to medication, lost my independence, and ability… to cope with daily life. The best way to describe what happened after the session was like someone put a turbo charger on me. Soon after, test results began coming back at healthy levels for someone ‘in my condition and such an advanced stage of Lyme. That was just the beginning. Then I found a peruvian herbal protocol for Lyme disease and sought the help of John of God, as you suggested. Then I found a therapist who specializes in trauma to help with family dynamics and began letting go of shame and guilt. Now I am functioning normally and have been symptom-free from Lyme ever since. Needless to say, my doctors and therapist were shocked at my progress in only a matter of weeks. The old me has been officially dismantled and it’s now about redefining a new life. I was praying for a miracle and was desperate for change when I made that appointment to see you. I received much more than I could have even hoped for. I want to sincerely thank you for being present with me and creating a safe space to be vulnerable. That was the first time in my life that I recall ever allowing myself to feel that level of pain that I had buried for 29 years. You are such an inspiration and someone I see as a role model of spiritual integrity and truth (delivered with a healthy dose of humor). I am very grateful to have had this life-changing opportunity. Thank you for all that you are!” Read more “Life Changing Opportunity!”
Defeating My Demons
“I wanted to tell you about the experience I had concerning the panic attacks. Maybe it can help someone else too. As I fell asleep on Friday night the fear came so quickly I don’t think my eyes were even closed yet. I was so scared. I tried to relax… but just couldn’t. Breathing heavier and harder I began to prepare myself for the terror I’ve been experiencing for years. Then you appeared, I was so relieved to see you. You looked at what I was seeing and turned to me and said, ‘It’s ugly! I said, ‘I know! Then you fought it like a warrior as it got uglier, demonic really. Then there was an undulation in my abdomen from the bottom up. And you said, ‘Here is the light of God, bring it in now, bring it in now! I brought in the most beautiful white light and I felt at peace. I must have fallen asleep then, because I woke-up later and immediately remembered what had occurred and as I took a deep breath thinking I was going to feel fear, there was none. The breath filled my solar plexus and there was room for lots more air. I just laid there experiencing my breath and I realized for years when I would inhale deeply there was a fear at the top of my breath, this is totally gone! I wept quietly for a long time, filling myself with breath, the beautiful light, joy and abundance.” Read more “Defeating My Demons”
Life Transforming Session
“Dear Michael: Thank you for another life-transforming session. Being able to be heard uncensored and having you listen as you do, so entirely present and caring, allowed me to shed something heavy“a self consciousness and a loneliness that is allowing me to feel hopeful about being able to trust better… and have things I assumed weren’t for me because I was way too damaged. God happened all day inside and outwardly, including finding a possible perfect fit living situation in the first place I called and went to see. What an absolute gift X gazillion to be able to work with such a generous, loving human being and healer. The way you model humility and kindness is completely influencing and changing how I want to listen to others. My desire to have God more present in my life is happening already. YEAH!! And I am going to stop and think about what I say (or write) is as authentic and honest as possible. Breathe and slow down. All from one session and 2 great sermons on Sunday! Thanks for letting me be me and expand the possibilities that I can believe by making me as I am all so OK. Yes, I still cringe about some things discussed but mostly I realize that I can use humility, understanding and kindness to myself and others to really stop taking it all so seriously. Thank you for the bottom of my heart, Michael!!” Read more “Life Transforming Session”
The Pain of Being Born Again!
“God did it hurt! It was just like childbirth. It was all the pain from the past coming to the now. That pain, I felt as a child was buried within me all these years. I screamed, ‘Get out! to my grandpa and uncle that had molested me. I did… this as Michael touched specific muscles in my legs that stored the horror of that betrayal. As I breathed, again groaning like a wounded animal, a part of me observed that it was as though I was giving birth, and Michael was the midwife. He was coaching me to stay present. Saying this like, ‘Good job or ‘You’re doing great, but somehow he knew exactly when the process was complete, and then he said, ‘There! She’s back. He was referring to the girl I had left behind. The one I had disassociated from when my sexual abuse had occurred, but now he helped me to re-integrate her back into my body and soul. At this time, my body began to flop up and down on its own as Michael stroked my hair and cradled my head. I’m crying even as I write this because I never had a man treat me with such tender care. I realize now that it was the former physical pain that exiled the little girl that I once was, that felt helpless and hopeless and afraid to scream. In the end, Michael reminded me that it is now my responsibility to mother the little girl within me and that I had the tools to do so.” Read more “The Pain of Being Born Again!”
Down and Out No More!
“My partner and I had a healing session, for which you graciously refused payment, as our home was in foreclosure. We wanted to let you know the ‘miracle we have been graced with. One of my clients agreed to finance our new home for us at 3% interest, and we’re… moving within a couple of weeks. Blessings to you always for helping us so much when we were in dire need. While listening to your talk here, I felt as if you were directly channeling the Master. Thank you eternally for your part in the great ‘work.” Read more “Down and Out No More!”
Psychic Success!
“Dear Michael, Earlier this year you did a psychic reading for me and I’ve been meaning to extend my appreciation. The advice you gave me and observations you had were spot on. It’s been an amazing year. Now I’m on my way to India.”
Finally . . . Results!
“Thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful healing session last night! You acted quickly on my behalf to assist me with a very difficult problem that I had been having for more than a year and I am SO grateful! I had the BEST night of sleep and peace after… our session than I have had in many MONTHS!!! I had recently (and urgently!) sought out another spiritual teacher (very famous!) through a friend of mine in California but I didn’t get one word of response from her. I was SO VERY IMPRESSED that YOU were willing to work with me on a little money basis!!! AND so QUICKLY, since my issue was urgent. Thank you AGAIN, Michael, for walking your talk and being the compassionate healer you are!” Read more “Finally . . . Results!”
No More Pain!
“I am forever grateful to God for bringing you into my life. I told you that I had had an MRI, CT, sonogram of my back to try to figure out what was causing my pain. I could count on one hand how many nights I have slept without back… pain, in 2 1/2 years, that is until you healed me. Michael, I don’t know what you did but I have no more back pain, I mean NONE. I have not woken up in pain one time since you worked on me. I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for me. Not only have you healed my life emotionally & spiritually but you have healed me physically!” Read more “No More Pain!”
So Thankful!!
“Dear Michael: I know you must hear this a lot, but my private session with you was very powerful and I don’t think I have words to express the experience or its aftereffects. My partner and I originally saw Michael a couple of years ago when we won a trip… to Sedona in December 2012, via a Facebook sweepstakes. We stayed at the Hilton in Sedona and Unity was sponsoring the 2012 Conference with Michael as a keynote speaker. We were too unsure of what it was all about and so we avoided the conference itself. But in the back of a magazine that we found in the room, there was a little ad about Unity of Sedona and when we saw that, my partner insisted we go there for Christmas Eve, which we did. We were clearly directed to Sedona through the sweepstakes win and we were clearly supposed to hear Michael that holiday season–even though we missed him at the conference. But we got the second message and sat over by the fireplace for the Christmas Eve Service and we have never forgotten that service or him speaking, the whole community, really. It is a wonderful thing that happened and we are so thankful. So, now we know why, as we are going through such a dark period in our lives, we felt so inspired to reach out, again, to the place we know can provide the healing and growth we need. We are grateful and will return again to visit you all in a couple of weeks.” Read more “So Thankful!!”
A Beacon in the Storm
“Last year I discovered Michael’s unique services and his dedication as a spiritual teacher. A while after joining his online community pages and taking several courses, including Awakening Christ Consciousness, I reached out for private sessions with him. Michael’s wisdom and support offered me the insight and direction I needed… 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!” Read more “A Beacon in the Storm”
Remote Learning
“Michael holds space with such a peaceful, kind, and energetic presence. He shares a truth through not only words and good humor, but an embodiment of ideals. Reaching high into the light, he is yet wholly human, illustrating the spectrum of what it means to be Christ on earth. Spend… 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.” Read more “Remote Learning”
An Exorcism . . . Really
“I would like to thank you for taking the time after your workshop to work with me. It was extremely generous. I am a spiritual teacher too, but I could not completely see what I was needing at that time although I knew I was needing help. So thank you… for seeing that. I do feel like that could not have been done by any other person or at any other time. I simply didn’t realize that kind of healing was in store for me at that time. I had done so much work to clear that part of my history, I truly thought I was done. I am so used to being on a spiritual plane that it was a shock to be fully landed into my physical being. To me my session was an exorcism, fully. I thought I had looked at and transformed every piece of my stuff that was there. How is it possible to be in samadhi and still have this thing inside of me. And that is what it felt to me, a thing, not an idea or a concept or a belief that needed to be broken, but an entity. So how is it possible? I am trained in the Mystery Schools, I teach Kundalini, and I am a Shaman. I have studied all paths deeply and was even literally struck by lightning. And now, here I am here with an exorcism. Really? Yes really. And now, the effects are quite bizarre and astounding!!! I thought I would just wake up the next day and bounce right back to work like I always do after a healing. But I am feeling very fragile right now. So I realized that I need to integrate this healing a little bit at a time. I usually sleep only 5-6 hours followed by an hour of meditation when I wake up. Since our session, I have been sleeping 10 hours some nights, which I’ve never done before. Also, I am hungry like I never have been before, and I wish for someone’s arms to be wrapped around me. I feel like I had been out of my body for most of my life but that I am now fully on the physical plane. Thank you, dearest one!” Read more “An Exorcism . . . Really”
The shift was nothing short of miraculous
“Michael Mirdad is a kind, witty, spirit -filled, intuitive healer and counselor. He came to our Unity church in Virginia back in 2010. When I saw the announcement about his visit, my first thought was to question why he was looking so much like Jesus. By the time he left,… I understood. I had my answer. I could tell he was special when he shared his gifts and told stories of his own life that included pain and humor. So I signed up for one of his private sessions but I knew that it was unlikely that I would get a session since it seemed like there were 80,000 people ahead of me. Nevertheless, a miracle happened and I got my session. He opened the session by describing some of my key challenges such as self-doubt. He said that my self-doubt was not debilitating because I knew how to assert myself enough. But it was affecting me and my ultimate success. He then said that I was capable of many things including being an author, healer, speaker or pursuing spiritual ministry. He also took me back to my childhood and explained the issues that most hurt me. He explained how the wounded child inside of me was causing me to choose unhealthy partnerships. He added that the man in my life at that time was not evolved and that the relationship was not for my higher good. He then said that the reason I was with him was because my inner child didn’t want to be alone and lonely. He told me not to accept that relationship. Soon after, the relationship ended. Then Michael brought me through a visualization that involved me meeting a healthier person partner. He also had me visualize expressing the hurts that my parents caused me and then say goodbye to them. I cried huge tears of sadness, anger and loneliness. Michael consoled me as I processed through the pain and tears that I cried. It was a release like no other. I believe Michael is a miracle worker, and now I am a follower of the man who looks like and acts like Jesus—especially through his kindness. And that kindness was ever present in my session with him. It was truly a healing experience that I needed so badly. Everything Michael said in our session was spot on. It was an enlightening experience with a tearful release. Much of my emotional pain dissipated after that session. The shift was nothing short of miraculous and I am forever grateful.” Read more “The shift was nothing short of miraculous”
Out of the Darkness and Into the Light!
“I am doing fantastic after the most wonderful experience I had in my private session. I am profoundly grateful for the veil that you lifted so that I could join you in experiencing God. I feel firmly grounded in God’s love for me and I have no experience of shame, anxiety,… and fear and it’s not because I am numbing it; it just isn’t there. My concept of myself, God, and my relationship with God has completely changed. I am super excited about what is ahead for me and the guidance I am receiving is just to move forward in trust and enjoy the mystery. Everything unlike God has fallen away, and the joy has begun. My session with you saved my life and pulled me out of my own internal hell I had created. I already see the changes, with energy moving in support of my new life/self-concept.” Read more “Out of the Darkness and Into the Light!”
Changed By Magdalene
“I am writing to thank you for leading me through the initiation of Mary Magdalene in our private session. What can I say? You know so much, it is fascinating and inspiring me. Previously, my challenges were social phobia, panic attacks, afraid of men, co-dependence, etc . . . But, after… my session with you I signed up for a few courses that will now get me back out into the world. Also, the people who you helped me forgive during the session ended up calling me a few days after our work together and they apologized. I am happier and I smile more. My attitude is friendlier than before. I am still shy, but I am more approachable. I talk to people everywhere I go. I even got asked out on a date the DAY AFTER OUR SESSION. I’ve even committed to seeing a personal trainer and getting back in shape. Lastly, my energy level has improved and I am able to see more clients than ever before. I’ve spent thousands on other healers and therapists (Reiki, NLP, hypnosis, theta, to name a few . . . ), but the improvements were minimal. I don’t know through which miracle I have trusted you, but I did and I am glad, and now I see great changes. Thank you! I hope it is rewarding for you knowing that your work helped me so much. I took the time to write it down because you deserve to know.” Read more “Changed By Magdalene”
Feeling Loved and Safe!
“Thank you for the healing session yesterday. After watching this beautiful sunset I went home and slept for 10 hours€”something I have not done in many years. I want to thank you for your calm peaceful energy, which I can still feel around me. I also loved the exercise you… showed me of breathing in Light. I actually shared the exercise with a few of my children at school today who had some pain in their body. You were also in my dream last night and thank you for making me feel loved and safe all night while I healed on a deeper level. Thank you for sharing Gods light with us all and for being real. This teaches me to be more of who I am.” Read more “Feeling Loved and Safe!”
A New Body
“The Private Session was truly amazing. I feel like I have a new body. I could actually feel the blockages leaving when we were doing the bodywork. I’ve never experienced anything like that before€”at least not at such a deep level. I could see Michael’s essence, which allowed me to… trust and go with it. Now I feel different and lighter on all levels. I have come to understand that there is a limit to how much you can do on your own. I needed someone else to see the things I did not. Michael was able to show me where I was holding tension, that I needed more grounding and how to do it, and helped me to understand that I have never felt safe or valued.” Read more “A New Body”
Propelling Me Forward
“Dear Michael: I am truly thankful to you for the very insightful and excellent workshops in Dallas and the very helpful private session I had with you. You are an amazing teacher/healer/metaphysician who beautifully shares the message of Truth, Light, Love and Healing. Michael, you have been a powerful, inspirational… catalyst speaking to my soul and propelling me forward on my journey. My spiritual & healing process is accelerating.I’m half way through your Seven Initiations book and listening again to your Course in Miracles CD and now feel more at peace. The process continues.” Read more “Propelling Me Forward”
POWERFUL!
“Dear Michael: It is so remarkable how a ‘healing session with you is always just the beginning of discovering another layer of hidden ‘stuff. I carry my journal for days after seeing you. I pray and meditate even more than my daily practice. My personal experience is that the body-work and counseling… you do unlocks the floodgates.the real healing comes from what I do with the newly surfaced information you’ve helped me tap into. I’d like others to know one of the most important statements you tend to make, which is, healing is not an event, it is a process. For me, this is such a powerful statement. Even though I’ve been your student since 2011, it still takes me DAYS, sometimes weeks to absorb all the wisdom from your talks and to fully process the download/upload around issues I discover in our private sessions. It seems that the deepest rooted stuff tends to subtly reveal itself AFTER marinating in the energy of a session, workshop, and/or Sunday service, especially if I constantly ASK.God, show me more, show me how to apply that, show me what needs healing. I’ve learned to not judge how long it takes me to allow the opportunity for more healing to surface and to just take it step by step, working with the tools you teach. And thanks to you, I’ve really learned to respect my inner spiritual warrior for having the courage to weed out all that is not congruent with my new ability to live a joyful Christ Life. THANK YOU, dear brother, for lovingly nudging us to look at ourselves! I am so appreciative of your depth, your profound understanding, and your presence.” Read more “POWERFUL!”
Keeping Me On Track
“Thanks for making time for me/us today. You are an amazing individual and it was very refreshing and powerful being in the presence of someone as in touch and real as you. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation and I was reminded of my truth and what is important/real/divine in a… world that’s so quick to distract me from it. You are a blessing to the world and I look forward to being in your presence again.” Read more “Keeping Me On Track”
Grateful
“Dear Sedona Friends: I attend Unity of Naples in Florida and attended a workshop with Michael Mirdad and the pastor there encouraged me to have a one on one session. I read and re-read some of his books and continue to use and practice the principles I have learned. I… took to heart what he shared and went on to become a reiki master/teacher. Then I found the new website of Michael’s Sacred Sunday Services, featuring all those videos. How timely of an answer and how encouraging. Tears just flowed as I listened and felt I was right there during the closing meditation. Words can not express how grateful I am for being able to continue to grow spiritually via this media. Thank you, thank you. This format allows me to be united and feel I am right there with you all and I can do that anytime I have access to a computer. How awesome is that?” Read more “Grateful”
Thank you from the Heart of All!
“Michael: Thank you again for all your help and moreso for all your patience. I am deeply grateful to you and all that you are. I am saying this for me and for all human beings who, like me, sometimes need some guidance, love, and deeper understanding. You are a… big blessing in this world and I feel blessed to have met you and felt your healing power and love. My heart is filled with gratitude. God bless you Michael, always!” Read more “Thank you from the Heart of All!”
A New Way of Being!
“Michael, I met you last week at a Unity Church. I attended most of your lectures and had a one-on-one session with you. I just wanted to let you know that your wonderful presence and energy has inspired me even more to walk a path of Christ Consciousness. I had… been affirming my desire for this way of Being in the world and my intension and focus brought you into my life, for which I am truly grateful. As I mentioned, your teachings have helped to propel me to work on the next level to not waiver from my desire to be in Loving Presence with everyone in my life and to take it one step at a time to allow this way of Being to unfold. Thank you again for sending your wonderful energy out in the world. I know that you touched my heart in a most profound way.” Read more “A New Way of Being!”
Had a Good Cry
“I want to thank you for a gift you gave me many, many, moons ago in a private session. I thought I was doing fine, I am thinking in my head yeah I am healing, I am doing good, etc . . . But when I went in for my session… and you, you just turned around and opened up your arms and I just fell in and just wept. I could not stop crying. Michael I cannot even tell you why I was crying but I cried so hard. You held me and just let me cry and that was one of the most healing moments of my life. You never even had to ask me why I was crying. You just let me cry. You had no expectation. You were just there for me. Thank you!” Read more “Had a Good Cry”
Amazing Healer!!
“Michael, You are absolutely an amazing healer. Your love of God and of humanity is unsurpassed and helped to sustain me through some of my most challenging times. You seemed to understand things about me that other healers wouldn’t understand.”
I’m Doing My Refilling Exercises
“I so VERY much appreciate the healing session we had recently. I am doing the exercises you gave me not only every morning and night but often throughout the day, as I find they help me to get centered. Your healing energy is astonishing and I have felt it even… after our session, at times, strongly and intensely. This is such a wonderful and precious gift to me! I am VERY impressed with your healing abilities and loving energy. Thank you again for your kindly ways. You are a TRUE HEALER!” Read more “I’m Doing My Refilling Exercises”
Profoundly Grateful
“Hi Michael: I have been thinking (and feeling!) a lot about my time with you in session recently, and I just want you to know how profoundly grateful I am. I have been experiencing a myriad of emotions; waking up at night with dreams, and posing questions to myself that… I hope will help me change my past behavior and false beliefs. Your books, CD´s, DVD´s, and lectures have all helped me tremendously; yet, most powerfully my one-on-one session with you made me really feel God´s divine and unconditional love. I felt His Presence and I was savoring and holding on to it for many days afterwards. I can truly feel the Love and Self-Worth I have chosen as my favorite meditation words. I thank you for your work as God´s healer and the divine, unconditional love, acceptance, and respect I received from you. It is an honor for me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am looking forward to seeing and working with you once again the next time you are in this area!” Read more “Profoundly Grateful”
My Life Has Changed!
“Dear Michael, I just want to take this time to really thank you for all you have done for me! Four years ago I experienced a life changing healing from you. I know I was divinely led to you, and I was ready. The healing you gave me changed my… life in many positive ways. Michael, you exude God’s presence. Thank you from my heart and soul. May the New Year bring you abundance through God’s light.” Read more “My Life Has Changed!”

Feeling Safe With A Male
“Dear Michael, I want to thank you for visiting us in Florida. I am more in touch with my inner guidance and am so glad I listened to it and scheduled a session with you. I would not normally feel comfortable asking for help from a man, but I felt… perfectly safe with you. It was an amazing feeling that I can’t EVER remember having. I was impressed by how quickly you pointed out my issues before I even spoke, and how you were able to pinpoint where I needed healing. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world. We are truly blessed.” Read more “Feeling Safe With A Male”
Many Thanks
“Thank you for your newsletter article on affection! It reminded me, not only of my first session with you, which I will never forget, but also of another time, when a church congregant had been seriously injured & life-flighted to a hospital. As a prayer chaplain, I drove up there… and sat with him for hours praying and reading from one of our Unity Books. Though he was in a coma, I figured his sub-conscious would hear me. As I prayed ‘with him, I affirmed that his body knew exactly how to heal itself. One afternoon, one of his doctors came in. As I passed in front of him so he would have room to examine my friend, he reached out and rubbed the top of my back, unheard of for a doctor in my previous experience! Anyway, I knew, then and there, my friend was in good hands!” Read more “Many Thanks”
The Simple Solution of Forgiveness!
“This truly has been the easiest way I have ever dealt with my issues. And it was all so simple. I forgot what the experience of unconditional Love felt like. Thank you for helping me to open up my eyes to Love, it was a great, gentle reminder of who… I am, and from where I came. And the spiritual exercise you suggested has been awesome. I use it especially when I recognize my thought patterns are going in the wrong direction. It corrects very quickly. I had forgotten about forgiveness (Love) for myself. I needed that reminder as well, thanks. Now I have been clearing out the things from my past that are no longer for my highest good, to make room for the new life that is already happening to me. How cool is that?” Read more “The Simple Solution of Forgiveness!”
The Most Transformational Session Ever!
“Dear Michael: Thank you for my wonderful healing session with you. It was the most transformational session that I have ever had. You are an Angel in my world! I don’t remember ever feeling so comfortable with someone I just met. Your intuitive skills are quite remarkable and most of… all your generous Love that you channel so naturally. I appreciate you fitting me into your schedule on such short notice. Something definitely shifted and I feel more grounded and more open in ALL ways! Hurrah!! And I understand that I am just on the beginning of my journey but I am optimistic and determined to live with God in my life and having a loving relationship with myself. Then I know things will really transform in my relationships in the world and in all ways. And your teachings are helping me so much. Thank you for having them available in podcasts and you tube videos. I am ready to start your books next!! THANK YOU THANK YOU! I feel very hopeful that I can let go of my past and have the best life I have ever had! Luckily, I am still a spring chicken!! Angela and Judy were both so kind in the whole session planning and arrival. So thanks to both of them as well.” Read more “The Most Transformational Session Ever!”
A Miraculous Calm!
“Dear Michael: Thank you for the miracle of a session with you. The deep kindness of your healing touch is with me still. I have a sense of calm that I did not have before. I have no doubt that you reached and healed my wounded inner child. Now I… will work to keep her strong. I will be forever grateful. Read more “A Miraculous Calm!”
Opening up to Love!
“I want to share with you my deep gratitude. I think I am loving again. I may even be opening into love. I am in awe over this man who has been presented in my life. He is a walking vibration of the heart. He is grounded, wise, full of… gratitude everyday, and he flows with my rhythms and waves. He only wants to give and receive, he does not want to take anything from me. He keeps opening to higher levels of intimacy within his heart as I present my hand. I feel like a blessed woman and extremely fortunate to have received such a blessing. I have fear sometimes because I have never been in this type of relationship before and I am now exploring how to be a new woman. Everything I asked for (but was afraid did not exist in a man) I am now receiving. He is perfect for me in this moment. He honors me everyday and thinks I am the most beautiful woman, which brings me to tears. Michael thank you for helping me heal through our private sessions and for not giving up on me. I thought my wounds were too severe and that I was a lost cause. So thank you Michael for assisting me in receiving the divine blessings and the spiritual gifts I have received.” Read more “Opening up to Love!”
Like finding my wings and discovering that I really can fly after all
”Michael…thanks so much for the time on the phone today. You fueled my lantern! Hearing all of the internal dialogue that has been floating in my head spoken from someone whom I’ve grown to greatly admire, gives me liberation, justification and resolution.You inspire me in ways I cannot explain. I… am awakened and feel ablaze with a passion to help fuel the light in others. I am renewed and feel reborn. It is a floaty-type feeling that surpasses any drug. I’m high on the holy spirit, on love, on joy, on light, and on a mission to help others. It is the most beautiful feeling in the world. Like finding my wings and discovering that I really can fly after all. “ Read more “Like finding my wings and discovering that I really can fly after all”

Recommendation of Michael’s Work
“Michael Mirdad is a living example of evolving Christ Consciousness, the embodiment of the principles and execution of being the Love and Light of Creator God in a world that yearns for purpose and fulfillment. He is teacher, healer, and author who speaks with authority and the knowledge of over… 30 years experience in this current life.

These gifts are innately present in each of us, and he helps facilitate their activation in the individual.” Read more “Recommendation of Michael’s Work”
More Love and Compassion
“What I really love about the course is that it keeps me on the path every day. Before doing this course, I would wander off, and then get so mad at myself. And it has, more than anything, helped me with my anger. Now I have more love and compassion… 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.” Read more “More Love and Compassion”
I Had Given Up
“Dear Michael: I just wanted to send you a BIG thank you for your work. I attended your class in Fort Worth on Sunday and then the other class in Dallas on Wednesday. Quite honestly, for almost 7 years I had been in a funk and feeling like nothing was… 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.” Read more “I Had Given Up”
Powerful Message
“Dear Michael: Although a little time has passed, I want to thank you for the beautiful and powerful message you shared with us at Unity Church. I have known for years that the Christ was the real part of me but had never heard it expressed the way you did… with such certainty. You are a wonderful channel of Light and look forward to seeing you again.” Read more “Powerful Message”
The Most Profound Material
“This is the most profound material I have ever studied on the topic of spirituality. I never leave Michael’s workshops without having learned volumes on the topic at hand. I love how the beauty of your meditations takes me to a higher vibration in my relationship with God and others.… I most enjoyed the soul retrieval where I clearly was able to connect with my intuitive gifts.” Read more “The Most Profound Material”
The Real Deal
“Hi Michael! My name is Michelle. I was given your name by a friend who came to me for guidance. She had a private session with me yesterday. As soon as she mentioned your name, I immediately saw Archangel Michael, who then told me you were ‘the real deal’ and… showed me your face. Later, my friend gave me your website info and when I visited your site, I saw the same image Archangel Michael had shown me.” Read more “The Real Deal”
Shook My Heart and Soul Wide Open
“Wow! is all I can say. Attending this workshop at this time in my life was the most illogical thing I could do, but it just wouldn’t let me go. I am so grateful I took that leap of faith to attend! The various exercises from movement to decrees to… 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!” Read more “Shook My Heart and Soul Wide Open”
Immense Gratitude
“The gratitude I feel for the level of forgiveness I have found in myself is beyond anything I can describe. All of the activities were timed and orchestrated perfectly to accomplish this. I loved the history, the soul retrieval, the healings, the decrees, Course in Miracles meditations, the walks outside,… 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.” Read more “Immense Gratitude”
I Have Awakened!
“Hi Michael! First I would like to say thank you for inviting me and my two friends to your Christ Consciousness class as a guest. The entire Sedona trip like the Sacred Sites Tour was divinely orchestrated for me. I am so grateful that I have awakened and listened to… 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.” Read more “I Have Awakened!”
Beauty that Surrounds
“Thank you Michael for all of your efforts to pull off yet another amazing Mastery workshop. Your home was absolutely elegant and the grounds were breathtaking. Your teaching alone would be more than enough to hold me captive in your workshops but it is the beauty that surrounds you from… the scrumptious meals that are prepared, to the constant flow of love that is shared in the students who feel love in the friendships we have created with one another. I am mostly so appreciative of how you are able to intuit the greatest good for a large group of people and can shift and mold the material you teach to fit the need.” Read more “Beauty that Surrounds”
Tough Love
“Hi Michael! I attended your sacred sexuality lecture with my partner last night. Let me start by saying thank you for creating yourself to be who you are today. Your energy is very inspiring, refreshing, and joyful. I was in a very low-energy space.aching neck and back and heaviness of… 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.” Read more “Tough Love”
Profound Discoveries
“Each day, the retreat was full of profound discoveries and experiences. I thought I had already completely cleared an area from my past, but discovered, doing your emotional tracking exercise, a significant piece of unhealed wounding that I was able to work through in the safe and loving environment this… 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.” Read more “Profound Discoveries”
Thank You for praying with me
“Dearest Michael: My home and my town of Cascade, Colorado survived the Waldo Canyon fire. Our mountain side is badly burned, and how this town is still standing is nothing short of a miracle. The fire came within 100 yards of my home. I’ve always known I was on sacred… 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.” Read more “Thank You for praying with me”
My Own Initiations
“I had a private session and saw you at Unity Church in Orlando. Right after our session, I had to leave for Italy, because my mother was suddenly terminally ill with cancer. She died on the 17th. Before she passed, I was doing some healing work on her and I… 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.” Read more “My Own Initiations”
Serene Space
“The Healing workshop was MIRACULOUS! I had been waking up for months (and on and off for years) with anxiety, nausea, and knots in my stomach from past trauma’s being re-triggered. The first morning back after the workshop I awoke with an overwhelming sense of peace and was breathing deeper… 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.” Read more “Serene Space”
Love & Kindness
“Thanks so very much for sending my son your GREAT BOOK today. My son was so thrilled. He is showing everyone.To do this for a stranger, let alone a disabled kid, speaks volumes to what great people you are. It’s so appreciated. My son says: LOVE, DUSTIN. Thanks again for… your kindness.and may your kindness come right back at you tenfold.” Read more “Love & Kindness”
Many Transformational Moments
“This was my first ‘intensive with Michael, and already I know it will NOT be my last. I will forever be grateful for being led to this workshop. I experienced many transformational moments during the five days. Before I mention a few of these, I must comment on the people,… 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!” Read more “Many Transformational Moments”
Focus and Go
“I just attended the 5-day Mastery and Healing Intensive at Unity of Sedona, and I can, with certainty, say that I have already seen a difference in the way I do things. The activities and exercises were perfect for applying and integrating all of the amazing things we were learning… 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.” Read more “Focus and Go”
Learning on All Levels
“Dear Michael: I am wishing to express gratitude for your articles and have been working on studying your book Sacred Sexualityin my spare time. The world needs this information very much, far too long have we been distorted verses natural, thank you for standing up. Your books… 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.” Read more “Learning on All Levels”
The Healing Has Begun
“Dear Michael, I wanted to thank you for your healing sermon at Unity in MI. My husband had a stroke a year and a half ago and things have been very difficult for him since then. Your comments on despair were needed and very uplifting. When the Service was over,… 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!” Read more “The Healing Has Begun”
Personal Miracles
“I cannot thank you enough for the personal miracles I experienced this past week. I noticed after the final magnificent ceremony that I felt hollow, not in an empty, unfulfilled way, but rather like a hollow flute resonant with spirit. So many obstructions released, so much refilling. I cannot recommend… 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.” Read more “Personal Miracles”
Rare to Behold
“Being part of this Easter workshop was an extraordinary experience of both Christ presence and inner challenges. I am a sincere Course in Miracles student and to have a teacher/facilitator that bases his workshops on what I consider to be holy principles is a rare thing to behold. If you… 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.” Read more “Rare to Behold”
Deep Effective Work
“Thank you for the one-way trip into the fourth dimension! I say one-way because I’m not sure I’m back yet. I have spent the last 25 years training with Psychic Masters and have never worked as deeply as I did at the CC retreat. Just when I thought I was… 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.” Read more “Deep Effective Work”
I Get it!
“Dear Michael: I’ve begun reading your book, Sacred Sexuality, and things are getting a lot clearer as to what has been transforming inside of me. Weeks prior to our session I had been anticipating that something was happening but had no clue what it was. I had a vague… 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.” Read more “I Get it!”
Captivated
“I also feel the increased strength of my gifts the ease at which the power of god moves through me; all from centering and calling in god. Thank you Michael for your amazing way of teaching with such fun and the ability to keep us all so captivated. Thanks to all… of you who made this a wonderful week!!” Read more “Captivated”
My Cup Runneth Over
“Michael! I wanted you to know that I have gained a great deal from our work in New Jersey. One of the main points that you emphasized was that we students need to integrate the information that you shared with us. I’m happy to report that on many levels I… 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.” Read more “My Cup Runneth Over”
Found New Strength and Serenity
“Before getting the email about this retreat, I had only one intent . . . I wanted to go to sleep and start over in another dimension or life . . . sounds desperate and pathetic just to write it but it’s true. Everything seemed wrong in my life .… . . 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).” Read more “Found New Strength and Serenity”
A Deeply Inspiring Workshop
“The Christ Consciousness intensive is a deeply inspiring workshop. It covers what really matters in our human experience. Michael Mirdad’s ability to connect pieces of information from many sources and historical times widens our vision and anchors our souls ‘purpose. This class helps us be here for the world, rather… 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.” Read more “A Deeply Inspiring Workshop”
Deeply Grateful
“Dear Michael: Thank you . . . Thank you . . . Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Many years ago our paths crossed. That was the most incredible time in my life. I thank you for connecting with me and reigniting my inner flame of remembering. I… 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.” Read more “Deeply Grateful”
Perfect Balance
“This healing workshop had a perfect balance between personal healing and learning various modalities. The healing modalities were thorough (not rushed); I particularly enjoyed the EFT and how easy it is to implement in my day. The personal healing/cleansing was truly soul-level. Before I’d even left the haven of Avalon… 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.” Read more “Perfect Balance”
Gratitude from Santa Fe
“I am taking this opportunity to write to you to tell you that I was lucky to be in Santa Fe when you gave two lectures at Unity. I want to thank you for helping me understand more the purpose of my life. Also, I am so new to A… 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.” Read more “Gratitude from Santa Fe”
Knowing That I am Love and Light
“I am so grateful for the Mastery workshop. I can’t pinpoint if it was the exercise of tapping into and understanding pain from long ago, the focus and go day at the zip-line, or simply absorbing all Michael poured out to us over five days. But the end result was knowing… 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.” Read more “Knowing That I am Love and Light”
love is the key
“Since I started on my spiritual path with that beautiful soul—Micheal Mirdad—I found the real God and the real me, my life is now brilliant. We all have ups and downs in life, but I have never been happier. Thank you Micheal. I love and appreciate you, as you saved… my life. I never miss your live presentations. Thank you!” Read more “love is the key”
Your Light Illumines
“Michael: Thank you for the re-connection. Your light illumines the darkest places and rekindles the spark to God.”
Open Hearted
“I had a wonderful time leading Dances of Universal Peace at the Living Mastery Workshop. Being a dance leader is akin to being an orchestra conductor: the skill and direction of the conductor is important, but so is the composer, and of course, the orchestra itself. I must say that… the participants of the Living Mastery workshop were a wonderful ‘orchestra -responsive, open-hearted and enthusiastic.” Read more “Open Hearted”
Healing at Our Women’s Group
“Dear Michael, On behalf of our Women’s Centre, I want to thank you for the work you have shared with all of us. We truly appreciate your time, effort, and support. Your work has had an enormous impact on the lives of our group, as they heal their lives and… make positive changes.” Read more “Healing at Our Women’s Group”
Soul Self-Discovery
“This was my first opportunity to participate in the Mastery and Healing 5-Day Intensive Workshop, and as a venture into soul self-discovery, it was a physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually expanding experience. It offered the self-determined choice of “shall I step out in faith, or not?” Not only were we… told how to focus mind, heart, and energy, but it provided the “hands-on” happenings of making it real and living it. I won’t miss it again.” Read more “Soul Self-Discovery”
Mind and Heart Opening
“I am ever so gently opening my mind, heart, and soul to joyfully and Lovingly share my blessings, gifts, talents, and abilities with all in whom I come in contact. The highlights of this workshop for me included the togetherness of Thanksgiving Day. I also discovered where I have ‘energy… leaks in several areas of my life and how to efficiently close/seal them . . . permanently!” Read more “Mind and Heart Opening”
Feeling the Love
“Dear Michael: I have been home one day since the 5-day Healing workshop and I am still feeling the love of everyone at Avalon and in the workshop! I arrived at Avalon uncertain about my connection to God and wondered how I could have gotten so far off. But it… 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.” Read more “Feeling the Love”
Healed, Cleared, Refilled
“This was our third Mastery Intensive as a married couple and we both walked away feeling like we healed, cleared, refilled, and learned more about ourselves and each other on a deeper level, as we grew in our awareness of putting God first in all areas of our life. The… time we spent with Michael and all the like-minded souls was priceless!” Read more “Healed, Cleared, Refilled”
Wonderful Message
“Dear Michael: Thank you for the wonderful message in your most recent e-newsletter. It really resonates with me. I recently was criticized by a new friend for living in a bubble. In other words, I try to surround myself with spirit and not with what is negative in the all… 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.” Read more “Wonderful Message”
Setting Intentions
“The day before the Mastery and Healing Intensive began, I set an intention that I would expand my consciousness, heal the past, and have a clearer vision of what’s next for me. I achieved all of that and so much more. I was able to dismantle two very old, outworn beliefs… 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.” Read more “Setting Intentions”
Awesome experience
“The Christ consciousness experience workshop was awesome. I know that I have just begun to see the benefits. I found the cleansing prayers to be very powerful. There were so important ‘ah ha€”moments that are and will continue to shift my thinking in a very powerful and positive way. All… 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!” Read more “Awesome experience”
Clarity
“Wow Michael, your artistic application of bringing even the most complex concepts into clarity is such an incredible statement of your mastery not only in all you teach but as a teacher. The workshop was an amazing weave of information. I walked away with the ability to integrate holistically into… 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.” Read more “Clarity”
Intensive
“The Healing Workshop was definitely an ‘Intensive! So much was given and so much was received. I observed myself going through the process of resistance, my patterns, denial, ego, and finally acceptance and gratitude. And I concluded that you, Michael, must be a genius to be able to ‘read each… of us and know just when and how to manage our learning and processing.” Read more “Intensive”
Reconnect
“The Life Mastery workshop accomplished many things through the physical activities we did, through the people that participated and through Michael’s spiritual guidance and presence. The focus of this workshop allowed me to reconnect that my mission is to transform my physical mind and body (since spirit needs no preparation)… 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.” Read more “Reconnect”
Blessings
“I’m still blown away by the healing workshop! I’ve already begun applying the emotional healing techniques in my own practice. In fact, the day after I got home, one of my clients was releasing deep emotions, while I worked on her hip. Thanks to what I learned in this workshop,… 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.” Read more “Blessings”
Amazing and Generous
“There are many teachers who have profound teachings but Michael is the one who walks his talk. He is really amazing. He is so generous…it makes me cry.”
Surrounded with Love
“Before the retreat started, I was feeling a scary little girl, with insecurities and too much pain in my soul. But I knew that I had to be there. I even had a dream wherein God showed to me the place in a dream. He showed me that was far… 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.” Read more “Surrounded with Love”
Remote Learning
“Michael holds space with such a peaceful, kind, and energetic presence. He shares a truth through not only words and good humor, but an embodiment of ideals. Reaching high into the light, he is yet wholly human, illustrating the spectrum of what it means to be Christ on earth. Spend… 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.” Read more “Remote Learning”
Love on a Deeper Level
“During my flight home from the Mastery Workshop, I used up every piece of paper I had, front & back, as I was flooded with thoughts. This event breathed life into the inner core of my soul. I experienced love on a deeper level & my life will never be… 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.” Read more “Love on a Deeper Level”
Laugh, Love, Serve
“Dear Michael: I loved attending your recent workshop on ‘Awakening Christ Consciousness. I was beginning to think there was no one here on earth like you, and I still believe no one else is. Everything you do expresses God. You live what you teach and you model it so well,… 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.” Read more “Laugh, Love, Serve”
My Soul’s Purpose Has Never Been So Clear
“I will be forever grateful for God leading me to Michael and his teaching at this critical time in my spiritual awareness. His depth of guidance boggles my mind. The Mastery & Healing Workshop actually tied a bow on the realization that I have much more to offer myself and the… 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.” Read more “My Soul’s Purpose Has Never Been So Clear”
It’s Truly Amazing
“The Awakening the Inner Christ online course covers everything you could imagine and more. It is truly amazing! The biggest shift I have experienced is in my understanding the illusion, this world, the universe, and myself. This has been huge for me. I am also getting all the tools to… live a healthy and happy life until I decide to return home, to my Father . . . I feel so blessed to be guided trough baby steps and sometimes to what it feels like gigantic steps into my awakening by the hand and love of Dear Michael Mirdad. This is absolutely amazing stuff.” Read more “It’s Truly Amazing”

Beautiful Meditations
“The Healing Intensive is the 3rd of Michael Mirdad’s workshops that I have attended. Each has been wonderful with its own unique emphasis and some commonalities. Each time I return home feeling deeply and permanently transformed to a greater level of peace, integration, strength, clarity, ease and love in my life… 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.” Read more “Beautiful Meditations”
Deeply Touched
“Great workshop! The activities of each day just flowed and time seemed to fly by. The meals were great beginning with the healthy breakfast protein shakes. Following that with prayer, yoga, and meditation, we were prepared mind, body, and soul for the teachings that followed. The lessons were solid with… 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.” Read more “Deeply Touched”
Blown Away
“I’m still blown away by the healing workshop! I’ve already begun applying the emotional healing techniques in my own practice. In fact, the day after I got home, one of my clients was releasing deep emotions, while I worked on her hip.

A Truly Gifted Spiritual Teacher
“One of the most effective aspects of this workshop is how well Michael combines various learning tools. Lecture material is preceded by yoga, spiritual meditation is followed by camaraderie and movies, intellectual interpretation of bible passages assignments were offset by breathwork. My heart, mind, body and soul were totally engaged… 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!” Read more “A Truly Gifted Spiritual Teacher”
Propelling Me Forward
“Dear Michael: I am truly thankful to you for the very insightful and excellent workshops in Dallas and the very helpful private session I had with you. You are an amazing teacher/healer/metaphysician who beautifully shares the message of Truth, Light, Love and Healing. Michael, you have been a powerful, inspirational… catalyst speaking to my soul and propelling me forward on my journey. My spiritual & healing process is accelerating.I’m half way through your Seven Initiations book and listening again to your Course in Miracles CD and now feel more at peace. The process continues.” Read more “Propelling Me Forward”
Phenomenal Experience
“Wow! What a phenomenal experience. This was certainly the most balanced workshop I have ever had the privilege to attend. From the Qigong and yoga through the energy work and visualization to the very cool cloud-busting and exceptional lectures, it was without a doubt an all encompassing event. It fed… 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.” Read more “Phenomenal Experience”
Tokyo Workshop Part 2
“I have another thing to share: I had attended some other workshops before I attended yours. From each of them I learned a lot. But what made yours special to me was your absolute solid attitude that our relationship with God should always come first. Even though I practiced meditations… 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.” Read more “Tokyo Workshop Part 2”
Reborn
“In the East, Buddhas are called the twice-born€”or dwija. The first gift of life is through the parents; the second gift we have to give to ourselves. Jesus said to Nicodemus that ‘Unless you are born again, you will not enter into the Kingdom of my God. Michael created the… 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!” Read more “Reborn”
Brother to Brother
“Dear Brother Michael, I pray this letter finds you in the highest of spirits and at peace, which I know you are. Your lecture/overview and insights on some of the deepest topics was amazing and you are truly an illumined soul. May peace and harmony be with you eternally.”
More Learning in Less Time
“I have learned more about ACIM in a little amount of time with Michael Mirdad than in all the previous years of my life.”
Love Can Be Grounding
“Dearest Michael, I had the unbelievable pleasure of meeting you in West palm Beach, Florida. Your presence is so pure and loving it automatic grounded & centered me. I felt unending Love & Happiness. I have traveled a spiritual road all my life and have studied under many (so called)… 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.” Read more “Love Can Be Grounding”
Soul Family
“Mere words cannot convey the experience that enveloped my soul in your Mastery Workshop. My essence is still ‘glowing with the knowledge & transformational change I experienced while others around me are noticing a significant difference making them very curious about what I did on my vacation! I would definitely say it shifted me… 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.” Read more “Soul Family”
Feel So Excited
“WOW!!! What an amazing experience!!! I am still processing, but I truly see things changing so drastically in my life already and I have only been home for two days. Nothing is the same for me the way that I think, feel, act, etc. It’s like a big fat eraser… 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!!!” Read more “Feel So Excited”
A Gateway to God
“The Christ Consciousness 5-Day Intensive called me to join with my fellow souls to come together as one in our true self, to experience what this can feel like. Once I learned of the workshop, I knew beyond the mind, there was nowhere else I could be. So I traveled… 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.” Read more “A Gateway to God”
Confidence Builds
“What an amazing workshop! The Mastery and Healing Intensive is one full-on immersion into the exploration of one’s self on every level. I learn more and more about myself each time I take this workshop. The highlight for me this year was the adventure ropes course€”I felt like a kid… 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.” Read more “Confidence Builds”
Aloha
“Aloha Michael! Thank you for the work you do and for the love and light you give. Your teachings have been so profound for me. The goddess within me has been illuminated by the information in your books and the countless things you taught me while you were here in… 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!” Read more “Aloha”
Filled with Inspiration
“The workshop was amazing and just what I required to bring my life forward. I have felt stuck for a while and this unblocked me and I feel so on purpose now with a new mission for my soul. Michael you were masterful in what you guided us through, physically,… 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.” Read more “Filled with Inspiration”
Shook My Heart and Soul Wide Open
“Wow! is all I can say. Attending this workshop at this time in my life was the most illogical thing I could do, but it just wouldn’t let me go. I am so grateful I took that leap of faith to attend! The various exercises from movement to decrees to… 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!” Read more “Shook My Heart and Soul Wide Open”
New Heights of Understanding
“Since the end of the workshop, I am still praying for guidance to show me how to live these principles in the most challenging areas of my life. As I reach ever new heights and deeper levels of love and understanding, these teachings of Christ are an added treasure to… 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!” Read more “New Heights of Understanding”
Awed
“Once again, I am floored. I must be doing VERY well to manifest a such a masterful workshop. Michael’s shared information is unsurpassed. I am intrigued and awed by his range of knowledge and presented with such fluidity, love and unswerving yet patient focus. I loved the rock climbing and… 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.” Read more “Awed”
Fantastic Online Course
“The online course has been fantastic for me. I can’t imagine what this year would have been like without it! The scope is exactly what I’ve needed to support my integration and growth. While my morning practice isn’t ‘perfect, the ‘homework has become a part of me and my daily… 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!” Read more “Fantastic Online Course”
Great Integrity and Humility
“Michael Mirdad first came to my awareness during a talk show in the fall of 2014, my heart sensed right away that he was an authentic teacher. The information he shared that day inspired me to read A Course In Miracles, which in turn initiated a need and desire for… 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!” Read more “Great Integrity and Humility”
An Immense Weight Lifted
“I always take something meaningful away from Michael’s lectures/workshops, etc. But I wanted to highlight one from last Thursday which really helped me. I recently made a big decision to begin taking prescription meds for my Anxiety and ADHD, which have both proved to be absolutely paralyzing in my life.… 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.!!!” Read more “An Immense Weight Lifted”
Discovering My Internal Landscape
“Wow! Your recent Mastery Workshop was amazing on so many levels. I so appreciate all that you have taught me. The deep processing work has helped to clear what was muddy to me when viewing my internal landscape. I now have a greater understanding of how 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. 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.” Read more “Discovering My Internal Landscape”
Perception and Understanding
“Through this course on Christ Consciousness, I’ve watched my perception and understanding make shifts, both dramatic and subtle. What was a physical ‘reality for me is now more like an awareness. I think I can imagine what it means to live and be as an integrated body, mind, and soul.… 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!!!” Read more “Perception and Understanding”
Working Our Way to the Truth
“Unlike many online courses that tend to be mostly reading, Michael’s online course is very much experiential. In this course we (as individuals and as a group) are clearing away the veils of illusion, like cob webs, while working our way to the Truth. Before doing this course, I struggled… 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.” Read more “Working Our Way to the Truth”
My Gratitude for Many Gifts
“Over the years, I have heard Michael Mirdad speak several times at Unity churches. Always, I found his talks to be practical and humorous. He made A Course In Miracles not only something I could understand, but concepts I could live by. His messages struck a deeper chord and something prompted… 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.” Read more “My Gratitude for Many Gifts”
Surpassed My Every Expectation
“This retreat brought me to a higher level of spirituality and understanding then I was ever hoping for. I now know what a great gift we have been given, not only to live in the love of God but to have the free will to co-create. Michael surpassed my every… 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.” Read more “Surpassed My Every Expectation”
Truly a Miracle
“The night after the workshop I was unable to sleep as I was missing the energy of Michael and the group. I was reading Michael’s ‘Heart and Soul book and found myself having a verbal ‘conversation with God for about 2 hours. This is new for me. I then went outside to the stillness… of the lighted darkness of Sedona in a nearly full moon. I chose to surrender to God and asked for guidance in all I do, say and think. This is truly a miracle for me.” Read more “Truly a Miracle”
Five-Star Rating
“My heart feels fueled with renewed enthusiasm since attending Living Mastery. Michael’s guidance deserves a five star rating for his ability to zero in on challenging issues and help us raise the bar on our own lives. Already I’m implementing concepts like ‘Focus & Go and seeing things to completion… 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.” Read more “Five-Star Rating”
Astounding Workshop
“The Christ Consciousness Workshop was very meaningful for me on a number of levels. Michael astounded me with his breadth and depth of knowledge about the Bible, Jesus, early mysticism, sacred sites, and ancient history. Very cool! I also appreciated the Christ consciousness prayers and the longer meditations. I am… 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.” Read more “Astounding Workshop”
Crystal Clear Vision
“As I reflect on the Mastery Workshop, I find that I walked away with a crystal clear vision of the treasure that is my life purpose along with the very detailed map of how to get there. This includes action steps such as morning and evening meditations which include calling… 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.” Read more “Crystal Clear Vision”
Becoming a Better Healer
“Michael, I want to thank you for the person that you are. With the love in your heart, your wisdom, and your light you have helped me to open myself up to ‘more light and also my heart center. I would like to tell you that I find that my… 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.” Read more “Becoming a Better Healer”
Personal Thank You
“It is a pleasure reading your periodic newsletters, and I just want to extend a personal ‘thank you for your work in reaching out to others and helping us to understand spirituality. I’ve attended a couple of your workshops, and look forward to seeing you again in the NE region.… Please find enclosed a donation. It’s an honor to contribute to your work, and I’ll keep you in my prayers.” Read more “Personal Thank You”
Impactful Healing
“I cannot express how impactful the healing workshop was for me. We learned powerful tools for healing others and ourselves. I remembered that I have no limitations. I am in awe of the gifts God has bestowed upon me. I am in awe of my life. I released so much… 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.” Read more “Impactful Healing”
Quest for Healing
“Michael’s workshops are life changing. Doing his work has taken me from mild depression, unhealthy relationships, lack of direction and self-confidence to a thriving new life in almost every way. If applied the concepts from this workshop have the power to radically change one’s life. Between creating mission statements to… 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.” Read more “Quest for Healing”
A Changed Man
“Since I saw Michael in Massachusetts a few months ago and attending his workshops, a lot of growth has transpired. I bought several of his CD’s, many of which I have now lent to my clients because I felt they could learn so much. One man in particular is a… 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!” Read more “A Changed Man”
A Master Healer
“Dear Micheal: I am writing this to extend my deepest gratitude for your work. As a recipient of past healing it has been so insightful to see you work. You are a Master healer. This is why I chose you as my teacher. This is why I continue to attend… 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!” Read more “A Master Healer”
By Far the Best
“I have attended, and assisted, at several of Michael Mirdad’s Mastery workshops and this was by far the best! We had a symbiotic group right from the start. Our intentions and focus built day by day as we realigned with our soul’s purpose and connected with each other as a… 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.” Read more “By Far the Best”
Beautiful Energy
“Every time I’ve attended a workshop at Avalon, I feel as if the entire time has been scripted especially for me, from the teaching/exercises, to the fellow attendees, even down to the weather and nature. What a beautiful blend of energy coming together to help me heal, to help me… 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.” Read more “Beautiful Energy”
Most profound workshop ever
“When I first attended the Christ Consciousness Workshop two years ago, I left thinking and feeling that it was the most profound workshop I had every attended. Yet, this workshop brought that information to next level with even greater information, insights, and very powerful healing prayers, meditations, and exercises. Throughout… the workshop, I felt many shifts in consciousness and much coming up to be healed. Thank you Michael for providing a very safe space to learn, heal, and connect and for your love and devotion to your students.” Read more “Most profound workshop ever”
Single Best Decision
“After working intensely on my healing process over the past year, I felt drawn to attend this workshop. This workshop has been the single best decision and experience of my life. Michael’s teachings, were nothing less than mastery and oh how I learned so many new things. This was the… 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.” Read more “Single Best Decision”
A Fabulous Deep Experience
“Having attended all of your Christ Consciousness workshops, all I can say is what a fabulous, deep experience! The melding of Biblical, Course in Miracles and other esoteric material with shamanic processes, meditation, conscious movement and psychodrama created a profoundly healing and enlightening journey. I was amazed how so many… 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.” Read more “A Fabulous Deep Experience”
Free, Happy and Safe
“Michael, I’m still struggling with working on remembering my dreams, but last night was powerful and so vivid. I dreamed you and I were walking in a country side with small stone walls and sheep. I have never felt so comfortable and safe, made me realize when I woke how… 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.” Read more “Free, Happy and Safe”
A True Channel of Christ Presence
“While the retreat is still fresh on my heart, I want to express my sincere gratitude to you for opening your retreat to us and allowing a safe place to work on ourselves in body, mind and spirit. You are a true channel of the Christ Presence and I thank… you for your light.” Read more “A True Channel of Christ Presence”
I have found my soul’s mission
“Michael, I looooooooved last night’s class. I made my mission statement, refined it, and as I said it this morning to myself, I feel an immense feeling of joy. I have found my purpose. My soul’s mission. Thank you for helping to facilitate that. “
The Smartest Choice
“The Inner Christ Online Course was one of the smartest choices to healing that I have made. It was wonderful having in essence, a spiritual life coach sending me material each week that I felt accountable in doing. Not only has the material helped me to clear emotional baggage, but… 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.” Read more “The Smartest Choice”
Special Thanks to All at Grail
“Dear Michael, Thank you and all your helpers for the work you do in sharing the message of love, hope and healing in the Christ light which we all embody and our working with our ascended masters, guides, and angels to manifest Paradise on Earth. I am grateful to read… 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.” Read more “Special Thanks to All at Grail”
Connected to the Divine
“What an amazing, healing, and transformative week!!! :-) Thank you!!! With deep appreciation and sheer gratitude to Michael for creating the sacred space for us all to come to together, and to each participant I thank you, for your love, acceptance, light, healing touch, and laughter that allowed healing to take place on so many… 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!” Read more “Connected to the Divine”
Profoundly Life Changing!
“I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how profoundly life changing the Christ Consciousness workshop is affecting me. It is opening up whole new avenues of understanding in me so that I might understand me and ‘others so very much clearer. To see more and more with… 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.” Read more “Profoundly Life Changing!”
Tokyo Workshop
“Hello! I am the ‘full of anger high school teacher who attended your workshop in Tokyo last weekend. You mentioned me in one of your facebook posts. I’m writing this mail to say thank you again. Attending your workshop and being helped by you in the private session have changed my… 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.” Read more “Tokyo Workshop”
Wish there were teachers like you in my area
“I wish there was a teacher like you in my area. I feel sometimes like I’m starving–spiritually. I study a lot on my own, which is probably how God wants it for now but it would be so nice to listen in person to someone who actually had a clue… as to who Christ is.” Read more “Wish there were teachers like you in my area”
Discover Dimensions
“My favorite parts of this workshop include: All of the tracking exercises€”especially the ones that showed our core beliefs. I also loved the exercises that help us to see how our beliefs have, and do, affect our lives. I loved the exercises that helped release the hurts and then learning… 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.” Read more “Discover Dimensions”
Thanks For The Magic!
“Michael: I got home Sunday afternoon and started to read a book that has daily devotions about love, all kinds. The part I opened to read: From time to time into each of our lives there steps a magical person. Out of nowhere, seemingly for no reason, a human being… 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.” Read more “Thanks For The Magic!”
A True Disciple of Christ
“I loved learning about the hidden spiritual history of the planet and about how to read the parables of Jesus. I also loved learning about Jesus’ various past lives. I loved being with my friends and making new ones. I loved the healing circle at the end and to feel… 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.” Read more “A True Disciple of Christ”
Peaceful and Energizing
“The healing workshop was amazing!!! Much deeper than I expected. The property to start with was beautiful, the energy incredible. The house, the workshop, the little river, and the beautiful peaceful garden with waterfalls and ponds and walking paths set the tone for a safe, peaceful, energizing and healing experience.… 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.” Read more “Peaceful and Energizing”
I Remember the Prayers
“It’s been years since I’ve seen you but I have thought much about you and the work you have/had done with me and how it has changed my life. I still love the way you pray and I have been able to learn to have a better connection with our… 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.” Read more “I Remember the Prayers”
My Journey
“Dear Mr. Mirdad: At the suggestion of my Reiki Master I recently purchased your book YOU’RE NOT GOING . . . after a rough few months and continued healing, I thought I was out of my mind. I have experienced fear unlike anything I’ve ever known and have ended up… 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.” Read more “My Journey”
Exceeded Expectations in Every Way
“I attended this workshop with a bit of apprehension, not ever having been to one of Micheal’s talks or knowing much about the workshop. The week exceeded my expectations in many ways by the depth of what we leaned on a mental level (concepts, history, etc.) but also by what… 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!” Read more “Exceeded Expectations in Every Way”
Superb Workshop
“Every bit of the workshop was superb. In particular, I loved the clear exposition of how the separation from God regularly manifests in our lives as core issues and how we lose energy from debts unpaid, promises un-kept, deeds undone, and, of course, misdeeds. I am profoundly grateful for Michael’s… ability to deal with the deep issues that surfaced for people during this workshop. It is an honor and education to witness this level of healing work. 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.” Read more “Superb Workshop”
Divine State
“My experience with the Mastery Workshop brought me to a place within that is truly a divine state of enlightenment with an invigorating spirit that is visible-inside and out. I came home from the program with a radiant glow about me, which was like a loving virus that positively affected… 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.” Read more “Divine State”
Life Transforming
“My life has transformed . . . The Love permeates everything like it never has before. All the things I could never quite express have been clarified and validated.”
Joy and Forgiveness
“Dear Michael: I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to write your article about Gary Renard and his ‘attackers.’ Gary was my introduction to A Course in Miracles. and I will always be incredibly grateful. I enjoyed his human, ‘recovering jerk’ personality. He made me laugh.… 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.” Read more “Joy and Forgiveness”
What a Gift
“I’ve been on the spiritual path for many years now but I felt I needed some help taking it to the next step. I could feel my ego blocks and other things holding me back. I signed up for the Christ Consciousness course and every lesson has taken us on… 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!” Read more “What a Gift”
Re: A Course In Megafools
“Thank you for your MegaFools re Ken Wapnick, and Renard–much appreciated! Found ACIM back in mid-70s; then Bob and Kathy Draper (LaJolla, CA) soon afterward….recently returned to KWs writings! Best to y’all! Never Fegit To Laugh!”
Grateful and Changed Forever
“My experience at the Mastery & Healing intensive, taught me so much on how to lead all areas of my life from love, through step-by-step dynamics, to apply to all areas of my life. I also learned different healing modalities from EFT to Thai Massage, to cranial healing, to Qigong, as well… as tracking, to help myself and others through healing of the body, mind, and soul. I am forever changed and grateful for the experience.” Read more “Grateful and Changed Forever”
A Beacon in the Storm
“Last year I discovered Michael’s unique services and his dedication as a spiritual teacher. A while after joining his online community pages and taking several courses, including Awakening Christ Consciousness, I reached out for private sessions with him. Michael’s wisdom and support offered me the insight and direction I needed… 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!” Read more “A Beacon in the Storm”
Love Conquers All!
“Just wanted to say that you are such an amazing supporting person/friend to myself and so many other people in this world. You affect everyone on a very deep level of love. It’s awesome to be as brave as you are to reach people like you do. You use something… 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!” Read more “Love Conquers All!”
Altered State
“I really enjoyed the Healing Workshop. I loved getting to know everyone there and it was great to have so many healing methods brought together in one place. It made so much sense to me and moved me along well in my understanding of healing arts. One highlight for me… 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.” Read more “Altered State”
A Gentle Touch Can Melt Years of Defense
“Michael, Thank you so much for your focused attention at Saturday’s workshop and during my session last week. It is amazing to me how much a gentle touch on the shoulder has opened me up. There are so many ways I shut myself down over the past 24 years that… 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.” Read more “A Gentle Touch Can Melt Years of Defense”
Healing Process
“Dear Michael: I want to offer my deepest appreciation and gratitude to you and all of the attendees at this year’s healing intensive. From beginning till end, it provided me the space to have amazing personal insights into my own issues and gave me the tools to dive further into… 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.” Read more “Healing Process”
I Remember You
“Hello Michael! You may not remember me but I certainly remember you. I attended a large expo many years ago where you were a keynote speaker. After the event was over, you and several other speakers were dining in the lounge where my husband and newborn baby were eating. I… 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!” Read more “I Remember You”
Church Response
“Dear Michael, Thank you for your time and energy this past weekend-your presence is always such a treat. I speak for several people who heard you on Sunday when I say that your message was incredibly profound and powerful. In your inimitable style-you delivered a beautiful message that opened our… 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.” Read more “Church Response”

Truly Life Changing
“The Mastery Intensive was truly life changing! There is no other workshop that so thoroughly covers the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of truly living in Mastery. The adventure course was my favorite! It provides a visceral experience of overcoming fear and challenge by finding inspiration, focus, and go!… 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!” Read more “Truly Life Changing”
Connection to Spirit
“It took quite a lot of effort (financially and logistically) to get to this workshop and so the immersion into the realms of Christ and the dimensions of this Universe was felt at an even deeper level for me. Michael’s teachings bring connection to Spirit, illumination, understanding, and emancipation from… 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.” Read more “Connection to Spirit”
No Longer Wanting to Be Special
“Dear Michael: I just read your article, ‘Do You Really Want to be Special? and this is BY FAR THE BEST ARTICLE I HAVE EVER READ!!! Thank you for writing it. I have sent it to many people. It has opened my eyes to so many things on the ego… and how Un-important it really is to feel ‘special!!! Read more “No Longer Wanting to Be Special”
Witnessing Love & Truth
“Hi Michael, I just wanted to thank you for your talk on Monday night. It was incredible. I resonated with so much of what you talked about. It was as if you had read my mind and heart. It felt so good to hear you speak, with such passion, about… 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.” Read more “Witnessing Love & Truth”
One with God
“Thanks for the workshop! My favorite highlights include the following: A deeper understanding and appreciation that we are one with God and have no fear; How to fill my heart and soul with Joy; The Sufi Dance that focused on holding the ‘candle of Christ was a highlight on several… 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.” Read more “One with God”
Calm and Productive
“I knew inside I had to take the online Christ Consciousness Course but I didn’t know why. Since starting the course, I’ve been able to carry myself in a higher, more relaxed state of consciousness throughout the day. I feel more relaxed, and have been able to notice when feeling… agitated and use everything I’ve learned in this course to become more calm and productive with work, friends, and family.” Read more “Calm and Productive”
Changed My Life
“Michael Mirdad’s Mastery Workshop changed my life both personally and professionally. His inspirational approach to teaching us how to become Masters in everything we do has already made a difference in how I carry out my daily life tasks. Michael is able to effectively combine a Spiritual focus with a… 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.” Read more “Changed My Life”
A Fountain of Love
“There is so much to write, yet there are no words for me, only the imprint on my heart and soul in a feeling, ineffable! I left with a fountain of love and joy to share with the world. I would so like to share my private feelings in regards… 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 Read more “A Fountain of Love”
Pretty Inspiring
“Another great and useful newsletter.mahalo, Michael. Some thoughts:1) I have been seeing the ‘mental instability manifest in subtle ways as well. 2) Having just watched my son and his friends go through adolescence, I can’t help but compare it to what we’re going through globally. They were awkward, loud, unsure… 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…” Read more “Pretty Inspiring”
Incredible
“My experience at the workshop was incredible. Everything that I needed was provided for me. The Magic of Michael Mirdad is that he shows you the way, he helps you through the path, but you have to do the work. Being with Michael has brought me to a very Buddhist… 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.” Read more “Incredible”
Deep Healing
“I am in awe at the transformations that took place both for myself and others truly an intensive like no other. The deep healing on all levels€“emotionally, physically and spiritually in such a short period of time was incredible. Since more than one thing cannot occupy a space; it made… 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.” Read more “Deep Healing”
Total Acceptance
“One of the biggest things I experienced at the mastery workshop was the feeling of total acceptance from everyone. I loved how we did everything together (dinner, yoga, bon fire, etc.), and how everyone seemed to support each other. Everything at the workshop was great but I loved learning to… 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.” Read more “Total Acceptance”
Calm and Confident
“The Inner Christ online course, with its ongoing incredible timing and seemingly supernatural synchronicity, offered me the perfect opportunity to continue my Spiritual education, and to feel connected, supported, and loved within a like-minded group. I have gained so much knowledge and am becoming much more secure in knowing what… 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!” Read more “Calm and Confident”
Accelerating Growth
“Not only did I experience powerful personal healing in this 5 day retreat, I also came away with many important practical techniques and approaches that I can offer to my own clients. This workshop was great for accelerating growth and transformation, and for anchoring those changes into my life.”
Gifts Should Be Shared
“Dear Michael: I would like to share a few comments about your gifts. You have this gift . . . a very special gift you see. I don’t know if everyone can perceive it right away, as it is often wrapped in a humble appearance, it isn’t dripping in precious… 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.” Read more “Gifts Should Be Shared”
New Found Self
“What I say about Michael’s workshop is that it is nothing short of amazing, beautiful, confirming and enlightening. Michael guided and taught us with knowledge and nurturing. My sense of knowing and self-awareness is now remarkably keen and I also feel that I can help others much more with my… new-found self. The staff is an amazing working team, with one thing on their mind.to make sure we were all taken care of. 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!” Read more “New Found Self”
Profound Shift
“I have been a Course of Miracles student for many years, but since I started the Christ Consciousness course, I have felt a profound shift in my understanding of both the Course of Miracles and God’s peace. Michael’s step by step progression through ‘Awakening the Inner Christ has helped me… focus my intent more deeply and build a sense of trust and confidence in my spiritual growth that is truly amazing.” Read more “Profound Shift”
A Higher Vibration Workshop
“Thanks for another great workshop! The work we did just seemed to be at a higher energy/vibration than other workshops. The volume of information that came pouring into our awareness was simply perfect. The chronology of events was skillfully executed with emptying our minds and souls using various techniques including… 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.” Read more “A Higher Vibration Workshop”
Sense of Empowerment
“As I am still integrating the workshop, I see that I learned the value of watching my habits and realizing my distracting thoughts are all processes of the ego and that these behaviors are exactly what is keeping me from getting to the core of what I desire most. As… 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!” Read more “Sense of Empowerment”
Easy to Feel God
“The material in the Christ Consciousness course is deep and profound and is taught in a step by step, easy to apply manner. I love how we started off on the material level with practical cleansing in our lives, gradually making room for great new lifestyles choices and healthy belief-systems.… 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.” Read more “Easy to Feel God”
Complete Devotion
“Wow! That Mastery Workshop experience was amazing on so many levels. I really appreciated Michael’s passion and complete devotion to us and our process. The deep processing work has helped to clear what was muddy to me when viewing my internal landscape. I now have a greater understanding of how… 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.” Read more “Complete Devotion”
Testimony for Healing Trauma Workshop 12/06/14
“How do you express gratitude for a burden to be lifted of which you weren’t even consciously aware? My mind hid an event in my body’s cellular memory that I never imagined was there. Now I know that there is an on-going layering that buries such memories, until our desire… 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.” Read more “Testimony for Healing Trauma Workshop 12/06/14”
Amazingly Focused
“I’ve come home with so many tools that I experience peace beyond all understanding. It’s been like rock-climbing-staying grounded within while reaching for just the right hand/foot-hold that will help me ascend a little further. In the past, after these workshops I’ve usually felt fragile upon re-entry into the world-but… 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!” Read more “Amazingly Focused”
Helping Others
“What struck me most in my too brief time with the group was how self-assured they all were as healers. The paired breath-work that we did is often just overwhelming for people the first time they do it, so that individuals have little to offer their partners. As I drifted… 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!” Read more “Helping Others”
In Awe
“This was my third retreat, and I am amazed that each one has taken me through such different levels of processing towards my goal of being whole. I am blessed to have been a part of such an extraordinary group of students and teachers. I am in awe of the… 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.” Read more “In Awe”
Revealing, Healing, and Integrating
“There were so many exercises that brought about such clarity and healing for me. The first being the bow and arrow. I finally realized what it feels like to fully be connected with the pulse of ‘God. I also realized just how manic my energy usually is and how much… 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.” Read more “Revealing, Healing, and Integrating”
Honored and Grateful
“I am so very grateful for the opportunity to have been able to attend this workshop. The time together was most amazing with such a wide range of emotions and activities. The bio-energetic exercises that we did as a group really opened up blockages in my body. I was initially… 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.” Read more “Honored and Grateful”
Fantastic Insight
“It was wonderful to attend my third Mastery Workshop. Once again I experienced fantastic insights and expect to make dramatic changes in my life that will prove both healing and inspiring. My favorite parts of the event include the emotional healing, the physical challenges, and the lecture portions that covered… 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.” Read more “Fantastic Insight”
A Miracle for a Sports Fan
“Aloha Michael! You really made my day special with your ‘miracle demonstration at your ‘miracle workshop. You surprised me by giving me an autographed football signed by my favorite player, Lofa Tatupu. I appreciate you thinking of me as you decided to gift me this official NFL football, knowing that… it would mean so much. Go Seahawks!” Read more “A Miracle for a Sports Fan”
Sense of Gratitude
“Michael: I awoke today with a sense of gratitude and glory in God. I want to thank you for being in my life. When I think of all of us as souls, I understand the love of Christ in a deeper more powerful way. Recently you helped me understand the… 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.” Read more “Sense of Gratitude”
Helped Me Find My Way Home
“The Christ Consciousness workshop helped me to find my way home. It opened my mind to see the world with a new perspective. I completed the fifth day feeling connected to a bigger spiritual family, inspired, and with a greater sense of purpose and joy.”
I’ve Seen it All!
“Dear Michael, I have attended many authors’ presentations and workshops over the past few years, and yet, even so, this was the ONLY time I have felt strongly compelled to have a Private Session with any author or teacher. In your case, I had an almost irresistible urge that simply… 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.” Read more “I’ve Seen it All!”
Highest Experience
“This workshop ranks right up there as one of highest experiences of my life. I came in with an expectation of learning some good healing modalities and possibly getting clarity on some personal issues. But what I came away with was a life changing experience that I know I’ll never… 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.” Read more “Highest Experience”
Empowered Me
“The Christ Consciousness online course is truly life shifting. It is wonderfully set up, and each lesson gives you an opportunity to connect deeper to God and your spiritual path. The most enjoyable part of this course for me is seeing every lesson working through ALL parts of my life.… 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.” Read more “Empowered Me”
The Answers to My Questions
“Greetings Michael! I attended Unity on The River this past weekend for both the morning service and your afternoon workshop session. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I left your lecture with many questions answered as well as many more to explore. I have attended an… 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.” Read more “The Answers to My Questions”
Exceptional Experience
“Many thanks for an exceptional experience. I loved the intensity of the experience and watching your mastery lovingly given every step of the way. My favorite portions of the workshop include: Learning the concepts of mastery, Integration of ‘spirit’ with our daily routine, The alkaline diet, Tracking and healing emotions,… and the Soul-retrieval meditation.” Read more “Exceptional Experience”
Reaches High Into the Light
“Michael holds space with such a peaceful, kind, and energetic presence. He shares a truth through not only words and good humor, but an embodiment of ideals. Reaching high into the light, he is yet wholly human, illustrating the spectrum of what it means to be Christ on earth. Spend… 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.” Read more “Reaches High Into the Light”
Transforming
“The Mastery Workshop was the most freeing, liberating, loving, transforming, Workshop I have attended. Attendees provided a safe and enjoyable environment to open up and grow. I felt a total release of lots of inhibitions/habits/behaviors that were holding me back from lovingly expressing myself. Highlights were: Yoga exercises, Jean’s creative… clay exercise, Reiki, the sacred warming fire, drumming, and the Soul Retrieval. Also, thoroughly enjoyed the delicious well prepared meals . . . not an easy task to please the tastes of 30 people! Thank You!” Read more “Transforming”
Clear and Open
“I am so glad that I reviewed this workshop and got to experience it anew with my husband. Both of us are so much more clear and opened up. I applied the qigong exercises with my elementary school children today. I added names to some of the moves like capturing… air in a balloon and releasing it to the sky, or spreading one wing at a time reading yourself for flight, or caterpillar moving along the ground and up-righting itself to see a new dimension. 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.” Read more “Clear and Open”
Empowering Workshop
“Words cannot voice the impact of Michael’s Christ Consciousness Workshop on my life. I am amazed at how divinely orchestrated all 5 days are. I was moved deeply by the times of meditation and reflection on the Christ as well as the keys to unlocking the mysteries of scripture. I… 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.” Read more “Empowering Workshop”
Outstanding and Nurturing
“I enjoyed our groups’ study of the sacred writings, our ‘baptisms’ at the holy grotto, the prayers, reading from A Course In Miracles while doing yoga, and the chakra cleansings/meditations. I also really enjoyed the shared meals and deep conversations. The meals were OUTSTANDING and the nurturing essence in the… house was in such abundance.” Read more “Outstanding and Nurturing”
I’m Ready To Live
“Dearest Michael, I’m still amazed at how healthy my life has become. Without dieting, without obsessing, and without a list of rules to judge myself by, I continue to get more and more healthy, including the effortless dropping of unneeded weight. It is a miracle. Indeed, I have made many… 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.” Read more “I’m Ready To Live”
Friendships for a Lifetime
“I recently attended Michael Mirdad’s 5-day Mastery & Healing workshop. Michael covered all the topics I expected and more. We started several days with a good stretch in Joy’s yoga class. Then I was surprised to find that we were also going to be physically and mentally challenged by an… obstacle course high in the trees of the Flagstaff forest and a hike to a spectacular plateau in the red rocks for a meditation. The food that fueled us on this journey was extraordinary. 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.” Read more “Friendships for a Lifetime”
Mirror, Mirror
“Hey Miguel! I’ve recently been recalling when I first saw you in Florida. My life has never been the same, thank you God! In you, for the very first time, I became aware of God’s presence in a brother; since then, everyone I come in contact shows up with the… 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.” Read more “Mirror, Mirror”
Michael was right on!
“Many years ago I attended one of Michael’s presentations at Unity Church on Maui. He asked us to rate the areas of our life on a scale of 1-10, ten being fantastic. Relationship, health, career, finance, etc. After everyone did the work he asked if anyone had a score of… 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.” Read more “Michael was right on!”
Astounding Material
“The material in this course is astounding in breadth, fusion, and organization, and the results are powerful. It has been an excellent complement to my existing spiritual practice–broadening, enhancing, balancing, and evoking more of my soul’s purpose, as well as more forgiveness, the building block of Christ Consciousness. I have… even become more intuitive. It is clear through the blog that many others are also having incredibly powerful awakenings and healings, a wonderful energy I am privileged to be a part of.” Read more “Astounding Material”
Enriching Opportunity
“I am grateful for the opportunity to spend five days with such an amazing group of like-minded souls, for the transformational journey of a lifetime. Thank you Michael for sharing your vast knowledge of principles and tools to get the ball rolling and get the job done, in all aspects… 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.” Read more “Enriching Opportunity”
Change and Growth
“Michael, My life over the last two years has been filled with change and growth€”some of which I jumped for and some of which I went forward with but with resistance. After each step I thought, this is it. I am there . . . only to find within a… 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.” Read more “Change and Growth”
Insightful
“I can honestly say I have never had an experience like this Mastery Workshop. The five days I spent with Michael and the group were intense, insightful, and thrilling. The highlights for me included the exercise for healing childhood, cloud busting, tracking, and of course, the water-balloon fight. I came… with high expectations but this far exceeded anything I imagined.” Read more “Insightful”
Whole New Level
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience. I have always carried a great amount of frustration toward the traditional education on one hand and the traditional concept of vacation on the other hand. This workshop incorporated both, as it took my experience to a whole new level.a conscious life experience, which… 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.” Read more “Whole New Level”
Life Changing
“Hello Michael! When I met you for the first time, I had no idea that this meeting would change my life completely! Today, as I am growing in my relationships with God, my husband, my family, and friends. As I am feeling completely full of love, again I would like… 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.” Read more “Life Changing”
Most Powerful Workshop Experience Ever
“I came into the Christ Consciousness Workshop feeling a certain level of anxiety because of that dark place I had traveled thru this year. BUT I knew this was where I was supposed to be, and I trusted the process to be whatever it had to be. I’m so glad… 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.” Read more “Most Powerful Workshop Experience Ever”

Dramatic Changes
“My life has changed dramatically since I’ve been attending Unity of Sedona and hearing Michael Mirdad speak. So I want to thank you for helping me to change my life around. I am a veteran and I’ve now been able to get off most of the medications that I was… on for post-traumatic disorders. Also, I am finally letting people into my life€“including my own wife and children. I have been married for 30 years and I am just NOW letting my wife into my heart. And one time, when I told Michael about how hard it was for me to let people in, he gave me a hug and told me that that everything was going to be okay. There was something about him letting it be ‘okay that helped me change things around.” Read more “Dramatic Changes”
Forever Grateful
“This month’s newsletter is heart-touching, as was the New Year’s Eve service. God Bless you for all you have done for Unity Church here in Sedona and for all you will do for other ones in the future. It is comforting to know you will remain here a few more… years. I commend you for recognizing and listening to your inner calling AND thank you for being You. My life is certainly blessed to have these amazing years with you and your teachings. I am and will be forever grateful. You make a huge difference in the lives of many. Looking forward to the remaining few years of your continuing presence in Unity Sedona.” Read more “Forever Grateful”
Host of Angels
“My husband and I were fortunate to be guests at Nashville Unity today with Michael speaking. Music was awesome. When Michael started to talk a host of angels filled the room. IT was fabulous! The Light and Energy stayed in the room throughout the talk. The connection to greater awareness… and consciousness was fabulous. Thanks for the connection Michael. Much love and peace to you. Smile, Enjoy ~ all is good because all is God.” Read more “Host of Angels”
Great Message
“I was there a few weeks ago when Michael had the service on the responsibility of attracting negative energy into our lives. I really took it to heart-then about two weeks later I received the thought even though we may do this – it is still so great to… have encouragement from anyone during the hardest times – just as christ was on the cross and the one thief tried to degrade his mission and the other said no wait you don’t get it – he is the savior. And christ was able to say ‘forgive them.’ I don’t always get the message right away, but I wanted Michael to know it was a great message to receive, think about, and learn.” Read more “Great Message”
Incredible Message
“Last Sunday’s message was incredible. I needed to hear that. My husband and I were blown away. In addition, Ariana Saraha’s performance was absolutely magical. We were visiting for the weekend and hope to be back soon. Thank you for the wonderful experience. Many blessings.”
One of the Best Spiritual Teachers of Our Time
“Last weekend Michael Mirdad spoke at Unity of Sedona and his talk was decided seconds before the service started when someone shouted out a request for him to talk about ‘surrender.’ And somehow, instead of it becoming a rushed thing for him to ‘think up’ something to say, it ended… up being one of his best lectures we’ve ever seen/heard here. This not only confirmed that, given that Michael usually spontaneously channels most of what he teaches and does it so well, it also confirmed that he is clearly one of the best spiritual teachers of our time. Also, I can’t think of a single teacher who can teach on such a diverse number of topics as Michael nor at his level of depth. It’s absolutely astounding to watch/experience.” Read more “One of the Best Spiritual Teachers of Our Time”
Profound
“Michael, I truly enjoyed visiting Sedona Unity a week ago and personally hearing your teachings. I felt so welcome, I look forward to next time. Yesterday I listened to your DVD ‘I am vs. ego I am not. Profound. Today I listened to it again with one of my friends.… Thank you for all you do in the world.” Read more “Profound”
Special Father’s Day Love
“I loved the wonderful messages of love, forgiveness, and release Michael shared at the special Holiday Father’s Day services. To see him interact with the children who attended was a precious gift to all who were there and witnessed. When he spoke to them, cared about their comfort, and offered them a coloring book, he was the Father we all… needed and need in our lives–especially me. Then when he did a spontaneous reading for the expectant woman’s baby, he clearly told them things (including the gender of the baby) that they felt were accurate and words they needed to hear. That moment and that family’s presence brought us all back to the beginning of life and all the wonders it can hold. Michael’s presence, words, wisdom, and love for each and every one of us is beyond measure.” Read more “Special Father’s Day Love”
The Love was Palpable
“Michael, three years ago, I came to Sedona to visit a friend, and to attend the 2012 Festival, sponsored by Unity. I then was able to attend one of your Sacred Services as well. When I stepped into the Unity Sanctuary, the love was palpable to me. I was amazed… at how “at home” I felt. When my “guest bead necklace” was given to me, I felt acknowledged, appreciated and valued for who I am, regardless of my past. No one judged me or questioned why I was there. My first thought was, ‘Wow, this is what church is supposed to feel like.’ What a huge responsibility it must be to maintain this type of atmosphere–given the huge egos found in Sedona. Please do your best to maintain this feeling, as it has fed the souls of so many people. Your messages are always thought-provoking while stimulating self-introspection for each of us. I support you in your life of service in teaching the concepts of Christ Consciousness. May your connection to the Divine remain pure and clear, and may you be generously blessed in all ways.” Read more “The Love was Palpable”
WAY More Than Just a Talk
I had an EXPERIENCE: This was WAY more than just a talk for me (no disrespect above) This was a MASS Channeling like that in which I have never experienced before. God was moving IN and THROUGH this man to speak to every single person. It was a very rare… opportunity, listen to it more than once. God is calling on each of us to Listen, Create and then put that Creation into Service. This was the push I needed. Thank you Michael Mirdad, you lifted the veil and removed another layer of the film that covered my eyes, so that I could not only See & Hear God clearer, but somehow it activated the spirit portal so that I could anchor my Soul for a deeper relationship with him. Inside that portal I was bathed in a white light, like a beacon in a light house, literally. Like someone had turned on a bright light and was shining the light all around me, like a search light. Has anyone else felt this ? I was then carried into the spirit of chant, OHM…… What an Inspiration ! This happened that night, as I retired to my room to sleep. Amazing! Read more “WAY More Than Just a Talk”
Very Moved
“As a channel for Mary Magdalene and communicator of her teaching, I’m particularly sensitive to how other spiritual teachers relate to the Feminine. I attended one of Michael Mirdad’s presentations at Unity of Sedona and was very moved. In Michael’s message, I heard a strong voice of the Masculine that… felt aligned to the Feminine. It had been a long time since I’d heard a teaching I was in complete agreement with and could fully open to without needing to shield myself from parts that misrepresented or maligned the Feminine. What a gift to my heart!” Read more “Very Moved”
Wonderfully Awesome Message
“WOW! :) I just have to say “THANK YOU” for Michael’s “Wonderfully Awesome” message today! He delivered exactly what I asked for…and I loved every minute of it! “AS USUAL!” My growth over the last few years with Michael as my teacher has been more than I could ever have… imagined! I am very grateful for his patience, tenacity, integrity, courage and devotion! I am eternally grateful to Michael for bringing me back to the word. And the word is GOD!” Read more “Wonderfully Awesome Message”
You Are the Real Deal
“Michael: Today is Sunday and I was watching two of my favorite sermons by you on YouTube and let me say that you are the real deal. I saw that from the first time I met you years ago. I have seen and heard other people give talks and… facilitate workshops, they can’t even come close to you. I have lived in, and traveled to, many countries and you are the most advanced individual that I have come across. You have been and you continue doing excellent work and so many people out there recognize that. I am also very proud of the kind of father that you were to your kids while they were growing up and of the fact that you are good friends with your ex-wife. That is awesome. You are doing fabulous work and the people that meet you are truly blessed to have you around. I very much enjoy listening to your videos and recommend them to my honey and to my close friends, who all adore you by the way. Please make more videos of your sermons available on YouTube. That would be awesome! And when it comes to people out there who feel threatened by who you are or what you teach, don’t ever let the jealous people dim your divine light. Your light is extremely bright, your soul has earned that brightness. You chose to incarnate to teach humanity and to heal them through your teachings. You are so awesome.” Read more “You Are the Real Deal”
Brilliant Sermons
“The message last Sunday REALLY spoke to me (as all your brilliant sermons do!) and gave me what I needed. Thank You!!! Also, I truly loved the music that was played which got the whole entire congregation up dancing and in such high energy it was absolutely incredible how truly… happy, energized, and connected everyone was that was absolutely awesome to experience and see! Truthfully I am in awe of Michael’s brilliantly woven, deeply profound, and relevant messages from so many diverse disciplines and sources of knowledge that he so profoundly integrates within himself and from which he speaks. I have never heard anything like it ever from anyone and I am so GRATEFUL he is still here in Sedona leading Unity. What a great blessing, privilege, and honor it is to be in his wisdom and energy!” Read more “Brilliant Sermons”
An Extraordinary Gift
“Dear Michael: You are such an inspiration and have taught me so much about what it means to be on a Spiritual Path and strive for Christ Consciousness. You have opened up my mind and heart to a whole new level and for that I will always be grateful. Your… humor mixed with a deep teaching for everyday life is just outstanding! You have a gift that is extraordinary and wonderful. You get through to people and relate on a personal and everyday life level. We have been searching for a place to hear about God for 17 years (without any luck) and then we came to Sedona and found you! All we have to offer at this time, as a means of thanking you, is this letter that expresses our hearts filled with gratitude. One day, when our financial cup overflows more abundantly, we will definitely share that as well. God Bless and Take Care,” Read more “An Extraordinary Gift”
A Powerful Reminder
“Today’s message was a powerful reminder of who we are.the I AM presence. It’s not enough to say I am this or I am that. We need to identify with I AM in order to let go of all that has been created by the beliefs that we are not.… In truth, I see the world based on the choices I make. To see from I AM, or to see from I am NOT. The world manifests as a reflection of me. When I see the world from I AM, I see the indescribable beauty of everything as a precious gift to me and for me. My relationships are harmonious, my health is vibrant, my work is rewarding, and I am abundant. I focus on what’s real, and forgive myself for of all of the judgements that are not real, that don’t even exist, and I find my life unfolding in alignment with Love, Peace, Joy, and Abundance. We are here to bring Heaven to Earth and we do that by remembering who we are and using the creative power of I AM to bring it into being.” Read more “A Powerful Reminder”
Knocked it out of the park—again!
“Wow! The Sacred Sunday Service this past weekend really knocked it out of the park – again!
A real crowd pleaser. Everything Michael shared about the “soul-seals” was new to me. And Michael has a great way of explaining subjects that could be quite complicated, yet he makes them… easy to understand. “ Read more “Knocked it out of the park—again!”
From A Course in Miracles Groups
Helps Us Clear Obstacles to Clarity
“Michael Mirdad has the beautiful ability to gently help us clear away our obstacles to clarity and awareness. Further, he teaches from the experience of knowing the truth, rather than knowing about the truth.”
Impressed with Depth of Understanding
“We were honored to have Michael Mirdad speak at Carmel Temple. I was very favorably impressed with his depth of understanding of A Course In Miracles and his ability to communicate this understanding to others.”
Joy and Forgiveness
“Dear Michael: I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to write your article about Gary Renard and his ‘attackers.’ Gary was my introduction to A Course in Miracles. and I will always be incredibly grateful. I enjoyed his human, ‘recovering jerk’ personality. He made me laugh.… 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.” Read more “Joy and Forgiveness”
More Learning in Less Time

Re: A Course In Megafools

A Blend of Marianne Williamson and Gerald Jampolsky

Fabulous
“Fabulous newsletter! This hits the mark! I will share: I suffered from complacency for quite a few years. It kills us ‘slowly from the inside out.’”
Finding an Oasis
“Michael, I just have to write and say thank you.for everything: honoring your truth, presenting what you know/live, being a living example of where I want to be in my walk, etc. As I read your articles on the website, I’m so excited to find someone talking about exactly… EXACTLY what is my experience, ‘A cool drink in a hot desert’ is the only way I can describe it. Thank you.” Read more “Finding an Oasis”
Learning on All Levels
“Dear Michael: I am wishing to express gratitude for your articles and have been working on studying your book Sacred Sexualityin my spare time. The world needs this information very much, far too long have we been distorted verses natural, thank you for standing up. Your books… 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.” Read more “Learning on All Levels”
Kindness
“Just a note to say that your article on Kindness was EXCELLENT, on about a bajillion levels.

Plus, Michael is such an excellent example of it, so… we who read this know and appreciate what it means. I will make a conscious effort to carry this forward in my interactions.” Read more “Kindness”
Many Thanks
“Thank you for your newsletter article on affection! It reminded me, not only of my first session with you, which I will never forget, but also of another time, when a church congregant had been seriously injured & life-flighted to a hospital. As a prayer chaplain, I drove up there… and sat with him for hours praying and reading from one of our Unity Books. Though he was in a coma, I figured his sub-conscious would hear me. As I prayed ‘with him, I affirmed that his body knew exactly how to heal itself. One afternoon, one of his doctors came in. As I passed in front of him so he would have room to examine my friend, he reached out and rubbed the top of my back, unheard of for a doctor in my previous experience! Anyway, I knew, then and there, my friend was in good hands!” Read more “Many Thanks”
Love your Newsletters
“Great newsletter last month, Michael. It hit home.regarding a certain student of mine (Madame X) and the fall-out which is still continuing. Ms X returned to class after an extended time away due to her health. She was extremely disruptive in class, feeling she was under attack from everyone. Well… as I saw this as a momentary lesson for all, I also knew that she would need to either settle down or not attend the class. I knew I would need to talk to her before my next class.Within the time since the class, I have been contacted by some of the students and while I was amazed at the range of emotions, I did keep my teacher/counselor hat on and explained how this unpleasant event was indeed a valuable lesson and to not take it personally, as it was evident Ms X was going through an extremely difficult time and having a hard time observing her own behavior. I also explained how important it is to look at their own reactions and why our/ their buttons are being pushed. As they surrender this to God take time to pray for her and bless her. Not everyone agreed, so the class will continue.The point is I am happy to say I didn’t get caught up in the drama ( maybe a tiny bit) and saw the reason for Ms X and her contribution to my class.WooHoo. Blessings to you .” Read more “Love your Newsletters”

Newsletter Article Spoke to My Heart
“Michael, your newsletter article spoke my heart in so many ways, and I want to tell you how much I appreciate your writing it. To be spiritual leaders in a church is not an easy task, and there are many pits into which one can fall. As we are all… experiencing intense refining of our beings, especially at this time of being bathed in such powerful frequencies constantly streaming in; holding the focus of living our lives in integrity, clarity, and peace with everyone around us can be a challenge. This challenge intensifies further when a certain cash flow (or other material things) is needed to sustain even a simple lifestyle, not to mention to keep a church running smoothly. This keeping up with the physical world can be overwhelming at times for those who really are dedicated to living the LOVE in their true calling…but we must keep our focus that there is nothing more important than being the LOVE we are with everyone in everything, no matter what situation presents itself…and I see this truly is the desire of your heart. So thank you! Also, we all need to feel the loving embrace of our Light Family. I want to thank you for the work you do to continue to support the connection of LOVE at Unity and to keep it a safe and joyful place to embrace one another Heart to Heart and Spirit to Spirit. We are blessed to be a part of this family in all the ways we can.” Read more “Newsletter Article Spoke to My Heart”

Deep Spiritual Meaning
Dear Michael, it is such a pleasure and comfort knowing you exist. Your understanding and interpretation of the Universe, being tightly connected with our Divine Self, provides a deep spiritual meaning to our lives while here, on Planet Earth. I am not sure that many people fully comprehend the enormous work you keep… putting out throughout your life to bring light to our soul. People often forget that Divine Creatures like you also deserve support and LTC. I admire you, I respect you. Read more “Deep Spiritual Meaning”
True Value
“Michael, I am both a recent and older student/client of yours and I truly enjoyed the message of your last e-newsletter about GREED. I am a counselor/intuitive healer who has also followed a path of minimal fees, etc. I hear what you are referring to and I am saddened to… know it is true. I send this also to thank you for a more recent healing session with you. I asked you Michael, ‘Why do you NOT charge more for your sessions, and your answer was quite beautiful. I felt validated that the 20 years of service I’ve provided for a minimal fee was worth every ounce of sacrifice to hear those words from someone as spiritually elevated as you. It was a clear message of my own truth, and made me feel more valued with my chosen path than ever before. I anxiously await your next visit. I have also referred many of my clients to you for the next time you are here, and we all look forward to it with anticipation. I have been blessed by your true gift, and my life has never been better. You are a true spiritual teacher, and it is appreciated beyond belief.” Read more “True Value”
Awesome Newsletter!
“Awesome newsletter. Very clear. It’s helpful to see and understand the different reactions people have to a Light that is beyond the personal. And it’s important to maintain integrity and allegiance to that Light no matter what different reactions are. I have been quite puzzled by this and your article… brings some clarity to it. Sometimes people do shy away from this Light even though it is only means the greatest benefit, healing and love for them. Sometimes they are terrified or angered by it. Sometimes they can’t see it at all. And even more often they mistake the messenger as a person for the Light and mistake what they are loving and attracted to, projecting the Light inside themselves onto a teacher, guru, guide or friend and ignoring what is shinning so brilliantly right inside their own hearts. I too have experienced all these things and what you have written helps clarify it. As a teacher I have been pretty good about directing my students back toward their own Light and encouraging this seeing when they get too hung up on projecting. And although I’ve witnessed strange reactions (e.g. anger, rejection, fear, avoidance, etc), something inside of me no longer gets upset by it, which shows some growth in me. You personally have have gone through a whirlwind of challenges here in Sedona but you are living this transparency, innocence and vulnerability that is necessary to transcend it all. And the Light does what it does, which is beyond my understanding but makes me truly happy. God Bless you, Michael. You have been and continue to be such a wonderful example to us all in so many ways. I am grateful Light has chosen to come before us in this way. Sedona is very blessed.” Read more “Awesome Newsletter!”
Articles Touch Me in Beautiful Ways
“The material in this course is astounding in breadth, fusion, and organization, and the results are powerful. It has been an excellent complement to my existing spiritual practice–broadening, enhancing, balancing, and evoking more of my soul’s purpose, as well as more forgiveness, the building block of Christ Consciousness. I have… even become more intuitive. It is clear through the blog that many others are also having incredibly powerful awakenings and healings, a wonderful energy I am privileged to be a part of.” Read more “Articles Touch Me in Beautiful Ways”

From Awakening Christ Consciousness Intensives
Deeply Touched
“Great workshop! The activities of each day just flowed and time seemed to fly by. The meals were great beginning with the healthy breakfast protein shakes. Following that with prayer, yoga, and meditation, we were prepared mind, body, and soul for the teachings that followed. The lessons were solid with… 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.” Read more “Deeply Touched”
Exceeded Expectations in Every Way
“I attended this workshop with a bit of apprehension, not ever having been to one of Micheal’s talks or knowing much about the workshop. The week exceeded my expectations in many ways by the depth of what we leaned on a mental level (concepts, history, etc.) but also by what… 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!” Read more “Exceeded Expectations in Every Way”
Empowering Workshop
“Words cannot voice the impact of Michael’s Christ Consciousness Workshop on my life. I am amazed at how divinely orchestrated all 5 days are. I was moved deeply by the times of meditation and reflection on the Christ as well as the keys to unlocking the mysteries of scripture. I… 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.” Read more “Empowering Workshop”
Found New Strength and Serenity
“Before getting the email about this retreat, I had only one intent . . . I wanted to go to sleep and start over in another dimension or life . . . sounds desperate and pathetic just to write it but it’s true. Everything seemed wrong in my life .… . . 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).” Read more “Found New Strength and Serenity”
Helped Me Find My Way Home
“The Christ Consciousness workshop helped me to find my way home. It opened my mind to see the world with a new perspective. I completed the fifth day feeling connected to a bigger spiritual family, inspired, and with a greater sense of purpose and joy.”
Immense Gratitude
“The gratitude I feel for the level of forgiveness I have found in myself is beyond anything I can describe. All of the activities were timed and orchestrated perfectly to accomplish this. I loved the history, the soul retrieval, the healings, the decrees, Course in Miracles meditations, the walks outside,… 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.” Read more “Immense Gratitude”
I Have Awakened!
“Hi Michael! First I would like to say thank you for inviting me and my two friends to your Christ Consciousness class as a guest. The entire Sedona trip like the Sacred Sites Tour was divinely orchestrated for me. I am so grateful that I have awakened and listened to… 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.” Read more “I Have Awakened!”
It’s Truly Amazing
“The Awakening the Inner Christ online course covers everything you could imagine and more. It is truly amazing! The biggest shift I have experienced is in my understanding the illusion, this world, the universe, and myself. This has been huge for me. I am also getting all the tools to… live a healthy and happy life until I decide to return home, to my Father . . . I feel so blessed to be guided trough baby steps and sometimes to what it feels like gigantic steps into my awakening by the hand and love of Dear Michael Mirdad. This is absolutely amazing stuff.” Read more “It’s Truly Amazing”
Life Transforming
“My life has transformed . . . The Love permeates everything like it never has before. All the things I could never quite express have been clarified and validated.”
Many Transformational Moments
“This was my first ‘intensive with Michael, and already I know it will NOT be my last. I will forever be grateful for being led to this workshop. I experienced many transformational moments during the five days. Before I mention a few of these, I must comment on the people,… 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!” Read more “Many Transformational Moments”
Mind and Heart Opening
“I am ever so gently opening my mind, heart, and soul to joyfully and Lovingly share my blessings, gifts, talents, and abilities with all in whom I come in contact. The highlights of this workshop for me included the togetherness of Thanksgiving Day. I also discovered where I have ‘energy… leaks in several areas of my life and how to efficiently close/seal them . . . permanently!” Read more “Mind and Heart Opening”
Most Powerful Workshop Experience Ever
“I came into the Christ Consciousness Workshop feeling a certain level of anxiety because of that dark place I had traveled thru this year. BUT I knew this was where I was supposed to be, and I trusted the process to be whatever it had to be. I’m so glad… 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.” Read more “Most Powerful Workshop Experience Ever”
Most profound workshop ever
“When I first attended the Christ Consciousness Workshop two years ago, I left thinking and feeling that it was the most profound workshop I had every attended. Yet, this workshop brought that information to next level with even greater information, insights, and very powerful healing prayers, meditations, and exercises. Throughout… the workshop, I felt many shifts in consciousness and much coming up to be healed. Thank you Michael for providing a very safe space to learn, heal, and connect and for your love and devotion to your students.” Read more “Most profound workshop ever”
New Heights of Understanding
“Since the end of the workshop, I am still praying for guidance to show me how to live these principles in the most challenging areas of my life. As I reach ever new heights and deeper levels of love and understanding, these teachings of Christ are an added treasure to… 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!” Read more “New Heights of Understanding”
My Soul’s Purpose Has Never Been So Clear
“I will be forever grateful for God leading me to Michael and his teaching at this critical time in my spiritual awareness. His depth of guidance boggles my mind. The Mastery & Healing Workshop actually tied a bow on the realization that I have much more to offer myself and the… 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.” Read more “My Soul’s Purpose Has Never Been So Clear”
Outstanding and Nurturing
“I enjoyed our groups’ study of the sacred writings, our ‘baptisms’ at the holy grotto, the prayers, reading from A Course In Miracles while doing yoga, and the chakra cleansings/meditations. I also really enjoyed the shared meals and deep conversations. The meals were OUTSTANDING and the nurturing essence in the… house was in such abundance.” Read more “Outstanding and Nurturing”
Profoundly Life Changing!
“I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how profoundly life changing the Christ Consciousness workshop is affecting me. It is opening up whole new avenues of understanding in me so that I might understand me and ‘others so very much clearer. To see more and more with… 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.” Read more “Profoundly Life Changing!”
Profound Shift
“I have been a Course of Miracles student for many years, but since I started the Christ Consciousness course, I have felt a profound shift in my understanding of both the Course of Miracles and God’s peace. Michael’s step by step progression through ‘Awakening the Inner Christ has helped me… focus my intent more deeply and build a sense of trust and confidence in my spiritual growth that is truly amazing.” Read more “Profound Shift”
Reaches High Into the Light
“Michael holds space with such a peaceful, kind, and energetic presence. He shares a truth through not only words and good humor, but an embodiment of ideals. Reaching high into the light, he is yet wholly human, illustrating the spectrum of what it means to be Christ on earth. Spend… 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.” Read more “Reaches High Into the Light”
Shook My Heart and Soul Wide Open
“Wow! is all I can say. Attending this workshop at this time in my life was the most illogical thing I could do, but it just wouldn’t let me go. I am so grateful I took that leap of faith to attend! The various exercises from movement to decrees to… 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!” Read more “Shook My Heart and Soul Wide Open”

The Most Profound Material
“This is the most profound material I have ever studied on the topic of spirituality. I never leave Michael’s workshops without having learned volumes on the topic at hand. I love how the beauty of your meditations takes me to a higher vibration in my relationship with God and others.… I most enjoyed the soul retrieval where I clearly was able to connect with my intuitive gifts.” Read more “The Most Profound Material”
Superb Workshop
“Every bit of the workshop was superb. In particular, I loved the clear exposition of how the separation from God regularly manifests in our lives as core issues and how we lose energy from debts unpaid, promises un-kept, deeds undone, and, of course, misdeeds. I am profoundly grateful for Michael’s… ability to deal with the deep issues that surfaced for people during this workshop. It is an honor and education to witness this level of healing work. 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.” Read more “Superb Workshop”
Surpassed My Every Expectation
“This retreat brought me to a higher level of spirituality and understanding then I was ever hoping for. I now know what a great gift we have been given, not only to live in the love of God but to have the free will to co-create. Michael surpassed my every… 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.” Read more “Surpassed My Every Expectation”
Connection to Spirit
“It took quite a lot of effort (financially and logistically) to get to this workshop and so the immersion into the realms of Christ and the dimensions of this Universe was felt at an even deeper level for me. Michael’s teachings bring connection to Spirit, illumination, understanding, and emancipation from… 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.” Read more “Connection to Spirit”
Deep Effective Work
“Thank you for the one-way trip into the fourth dimension! I say one-way because I’m not sure I’m back yet. I have spent the last 25 years training with Psychic Masters and have never worked as deeply as I did at the CC retreat. Just when I thought I was… 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.” Read more “Deep Effective Work”
Awesome experience
“The Christ consciousness experience workshop was awesome. I know that I have just begun to see the benefits. I found the cleansing prayers to be very powerful. There were so important ‘ah ha€”moments that are and will continue to shift my thinking in a very powerful and positive way. All… 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!” Read more “Awesome experience”
Astounding Workshop
“The Christ Consciousness Workshop was very meaningful for me on a number of levels. Michael astounded me with his breadth and depth of knowledge about the Bible, Jesus, early mysticism, sacred sites, and ancient history. Very cool! I also appreciated the Christ consciousness prayers and the longer meditations. I am… 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.” Read more “Astounding Workshop”
Astounding Material
“The material in this course is astounding in breadth, fusion, and organization, and the results are powerful. It has been an excellent complement to my existing spiritual practice–broadening, enhancing, balancing, and evoking more of my soul’s purpose, as well as more forgiveness, the building block of Christ Consciousness. I have… even become more intuitive. It is clear through the blog that many others are also having incredibly powerful awakenings and healings, a wonderful energy I am privileged to be a part of.” Read more “Astounding Material”
A Truly Gifted Spiritual Teacher
“One of the most effective aspects of this workshop is how well Michael combines various learning tools. Lecture material is preceded by yoga, spiritual meditation is followed by camaraderie and movies, intellectual interpretation of bible passages assignments were offset by breathwork. My heart, mind, body and soul were totally engaged… 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!” Read more “A Truly Gifted Spiritual Teacher”
A True Disciple of Christ
“I loved learning about the hidden spiritual history of the planet and about how to read the parables of Jesus. I also loved learning about Jesus’ various past lives. I loved being with my friends and making new ones. I loved the healing circle at the end and to feel… 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.” Read more “A True Disciple of Christ”
A True Channel of Christ Presence
“While the retreat is still fresh on my heart, I want to express my sincere gratitude to you for opening your retreat to us and allowing a safe place to work on ourselves in body, mind and spirit. You are a true channel of the Christ Presence and I thank… you for your light.” Read more “A True Channel of Christ Presence”
A Life-Changing Experience
“I attended this workshop two years in a row. Michael’s workshop is deep and inspiring, yet he always provides concrete actions we can take to make God a part of our daily lives. I was happy to discover just how much of the prior year’s teaching I had integrated into… my daily life and I look forward to taking it to ever deeper levels going forward. During the last day’s exercise where we look deep into another’s eyes and channel the love of Christ, I felt Jesus come into my body to help me channel Christ love and to share the experience with me. I can’t begin to convey what a profoundly moving and life-changing experience it was. I feel Jesus and God’s love with me more than ever before and I am eternally grateful!” Read more “A Life-Changing Experience”
A Higher Vibration Workshop
“Thanks for another great workshop! The work we did just seemed to be at a higher energy/vibration than other workshops. The volume of information that came pouring into our awareness was simply perfect. The chronology of events was skillfully executed with emptying our minds and souls using various techniques including… 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.” Read more “A Higher Vibration Workshop”
A Gateway to God
“The Christ Consciousness 5-Day Intensive called me to join with my fellow souls to come together as one in our true self, to experience what this can feel like. Once I learned of the workshop, I knew beyond the mind, there was nowhere else I could be. So I traveled… 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.” Read more “A Gateway to God”
A Deeply Inspiring Workshop
“The Christ Consciousness intensive is a deeply inspiring workshop. It covers what really matters in our human experience. Michael Mirdad’s ability to connect pieces of information from many sources and historical times widens our vision and anchors our souls ‘purpose. This class helps us be here for the world, rather… 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.” Read more “A Deeply Inspiring Workshop”
A Fabulous Deep Experience
“Having attended all of your Christ Consciousness workshops, all I can say is what a fabulous, deep experience! The melding of Biblical, Course in Miracles and other esoteric material with shamanic processes, meditation, conscious movement and psychodrama created a profoundly healing and enlightening journey. I was amazed how so many… 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.” Read more “A Fabulous Deep Experience”
Bringing the Light of God to the world
I have to say that Michael’s workshop on Christ Consciousness was incredible, and even that doesn’t begin to describe it. This class was so deep, it truly resonated with my soul. I especially loved the advanced tracking exercise and the use of writing as we connected to (or channeled) our… inner. Both of those were amazing. I am so very grateful that I took this class and felt blessed to share the experience with so many wonderful souls. It has changed me in a wonderful way, helping me along my path of awakening the Christ within. Thank you Michael for this class and all that you and your team do. You are truly bringing the Light of God to the world. Read more “Bringing the Light of God to the world”
Go deeper into the Consciousness of Christ
This was such a fantastic class, Thank you MM for teaching and sharing all of this information to all who wish to learn more and go deeper into the consciousness of Christ. The more I learn and the deeper I go, the more I want to learn even more on… the path home. Read more “Go deeper into the Consciousness of Christ”
Powerful, profound and a joy
The Awakening Christ Consciousness 4 day intensive was powerful, profound and a joy to participate in. The four consecutive days went by quickly and I didn’t want it to end. I soaked it up like a sponge and wanted more! I had the feeling I should take this class. The… feeling returned again and again that I needed to take this class. I’m so glad I listened to the feelings and urgings to register for it because the class took me to new levels of understanding and an even deeper connection to God and Christ Consciousness than I could have imagined. I realize now that I cannot afford to NOT take Michael Mirdad’s classes and this was worth every penny. Thank you, Michael, for your dedication to sharing your wisdom and knowledge through your courses, facebook groups, Sacred Sunday morning messages and everywhere else you give a talk.

From Mastery & Healing Intensives
Discovering My Internal Landscape
“Wow! Your recent Mastery Workshop was amazing on so many levels. I so appreciate all that you have taught me. The deep processing work has helped to clear what was muddy to me when viewing my internal landscape. I now have a greater understanding of how 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. 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.” Read more “Discovering My Internal Landscape”
Discover Dimensions
“My favorite parts of this workshop include: All of the tracking exercises€”especially the ones that showed our core beliefs. I also loved the exercises that help us to see how our beliefs have, and do, affect our lives. I loved the exercises that helped release the hurts and then learning… 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.” Read more “Discover Dimensions”
Exceptional Experience
“Many thanks for an exceptional experience. I loved the intensity of the experience and watching your mastery lovingly given every step of the way. My favorite portions of the workshop include: Learning the concepts of mastery, Integration of ‘spirit’ with our daily routine, The alkaline diet, Tracking and healing emotions,… and the Soul-retrieval meditation.” Read more “Exceptional Experience”
Enriching Opportunity
“I am grateful for the opportunity to spend five days with such an amazing group of like-minded souls, for the transformational journey of a lifetime. Thank you Michael for sharing your vast knowledge of principles and tools to get the ball rolling and get the job done, in all aspects… 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.” Read more “Enriching Opportunity”
Feel So Excited
“WOW!!! What an amazing experience!!! I am still processing, but I truly see things changing so drastically in my life already and I have only been home for two days. Nothing is the same for me the way that I think, feel, act, etc. It’s like a big fat eraser… 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!!!” Read more “Feel So Excited”
Fantastic Insight
“It was wonderful to attend my third Mastery Workshop. Once again I experienced fantastic insights and expect to make dramatic changes in my life that will prove both healing and inspiring. My favorite parts of the event include the emotional healing, the physical challenges, and the lecture portions that covered… 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.” Read more “Fantastic Insight”
Friendships for a Lifetime
“I recently attended Michael Mirdad’s 5-day Mastery & Healing workshop. Michael covered all the topics I expected and more. We started several days with a good stretch in Joy’s yoga class. Then I was surprised to find that we were also going to be physically and mentally challenged by an… obstacle course high in the trees of the Flagstaff forest and a hike to a spectacular plateau in the red rocks for a meditation. The food that fueled us on this journey was extraordinary. 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.” Read more “Friendships for a Lifetime”
Focus and Go
“I just attended the 5-day Mastery and Healing Intensive at Unity of Sedona, and I can, with certainty, say that I have already seen a difference in the way I do things. The activities and exercises were perfect for applying and integrating all of the amazing things we were learning… 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.” Read more “Focus and Go”
Five-Star Rating
“My heart feels fueled with renewed enthusiasm since attending Living Mastery. Michael’s guidance deserves a five star rating for his ability to zero in on challenging issues and help us raise the bar on our own lives. Already I’m implementing concepts like ‘Focus & Go and seeing things to completion… 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.” Read more “Five-Star Rating”
Filled with Inspiration
“The workshop was amazing and just what I required to bring my life forward. I have felt stuck for a while and this unblocked me and I feel so on purpose now with a new mission for my soul. Michael you were masterful in what you guided us through, physically,… 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.” Read more “Filled with Inspiration”
Feeling the Love
“Dear Michael: I have been home one day since the 5-day Healing workshop and I am still feeling the love of everyone at Avalon and in the workshop! I arrived at Avalon uncertain about my connection to God and wondered how I could have gotten so far off. But it… 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.” Read more “Feeling the Love”
Grateful and Changed Forever
“My experience at the Mastery & Healing intensive, taught me so much on how to lead all areas of my life from love, through step-by-step dynamics, to apply to all areas of my life. I also learned different healing modalities from EFT to Thai Massage, to cranial healing, to Qigong,… as well as tracking, to help myself and others through healing of the body, mind, and soul. I am forever changed and grateful for the experience.” Read more “Grateful and Changed Forever”

Healing Process
“Dear Michael: I want to offer my deepest appreciation and gratitude to you and all of the attendees at this year’s healing intensive. From beginning till end, it provided me the space to have amazing personal insights into my own issues and gave me the tools to dive further into… 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.” Read more “Healing Process”
Helping Others
“What struck me most in my too brief time with the group was how self-assured they all were as healers. The paired breath-work that we did is often just overwhelming for people the first time they do it, so that individuals have little to offer their partners. As I drifted… 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!” Read more “Helping Others”
Highest Experience
“This workshop ranks right up there as one of highest experiences of my life. I came in with an expectation of learning some good healing modalities and possibly getting clarity on some personal issues. But what I came away with was a life changing experience that I know I’ll never… 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.” Read more “Highest Experience”
Healed, Cleared, Refilled
“This was our third Mastery Intensive as a married couple and we both walked away feeling like we healed, cleared, refilled, and learned more about ourselves and each other on a deeper level, as we grew in our awareness of putting God first in all areas of our life. The… time we spent with Michael and all the like-minded souls was priceless!” Read more “Healed, Cleared, Refilled”
Impactful Healing
“I cannot express how impactful the healing workshop was for me. We learned powerful tools for healing others and ourselves. I remembered that I have no limitations. I am in awe of the gifts God has bestowed upon me. I am in awe of my life. I released so much… 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.” Read more “Impactful Healing”
In Awe
“This was my third retreat, and I am amazed that each one has taken me through such different levels of processing towards my goal of being whole. I am blessed to have been a part of such an extraordinary group of students and teachers. I am in awe of the… 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.” Read more “In Awe”
Incredible
“My experience at the workshop was incredible. Everything that I needed was provided for me. The Magic of Michael Mirdad is that he shows you the way, he helps you through the path, but you have to do the work. Being with Michael has brought me to a very Buddhist… 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.” Read more “Incredible”
Intensive
“The Healing Workshop was definitely an ‘Intensive! So much was given and so much was received. I observed myself going through the process of resistance, my patterns, denial, ego, and finally acceptance and gratitude. And I concluded that you, Michael, must be a genius to be able to ‘read each… of us and know just when and how to manage our learning and processing.” Read more “Intensive”
Insightful
“I can honestly say I have never had an experience like this Mastery Workshop. The five days I spent with Michael and the group were intense, insightful, and thrilling. The highlights for me included the exercise for healing childhood, cloud busting, tracking, and of course, the water-balloon fight. I came… with high expectations but this far exceeded anything I imagined.” Read more “Insightful”
Love on a Deeper Level
“During my flight home from the Mastery Workshop, I used up every piece of paper I had, front & back, as I was flooded with thoughts. This event breathed life into the inner core of my soul. I experienced love on a deeper level & my life will never be… 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.” Read more “Love on a Deeper Level”
Knowing That I am Love and Light
“I am so grateful for the Mastery workshop. I can’t pinpoint if it was the exercise of tapping into and understanding pain from long ago, the focus and go day at the zip-line, or simply absorbing all Michael poured out to us over five days. But the end result was knowing… 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.” Read more “Knowing That I am Love and Light”
New Found Self
“What I say about Michael’s workshop is that it is nothing short of amazing, beautiful, confirming and enlightening. Michael guided and taught us with knowledge and nurturing. My sense of knowing and self-awareness is now remarkably keen and I also feel that I can help others much more with my… new-found self. The staff is an amazing working team, with one thing on their mind.to make sure we were all taken care of. 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!” Read more “New Found Self”
My Gratitude for Many Gifts
“Over the years, I have heard Michael Mirdad speak several times at Unity churches. Always, I found his talks to be practical and humorous. He made A Course In Miracles not only something I could understand, but concepts I could live by. His messages struck a deeper chord and something prompted… 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.” Read more “My Gratitude for Many Gifts”
Peaceful and Energizing
“The healing workshop was amazing!!! Much deeper than I expected. The property to start with was beautiful, the energy incredible. The house, the workshop, the little river, and the beautiful peaceful garden with waterfalls and ponds and walking paths set the tone for a safe, peaceful, energizing and healing experience.… 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.” Read more “Peaceful and Energizing”
Open Hearted
“I had a wonderful time leading Dances of Universal Peace at the Living Mastery Workshop. Being a dance leader is akin to being an orchestra conductor: the skill and direction of the conductor is important, but so is the composer, and of course, the orchestra itself. I must say that… the participants of the Living Mastery workshop were a wonderful ‘orchestra -responsive, open-hearted and enthusiastic.” Read more “Open Hearted”
One with God
“Thanks for the workshop! My favorite highlights include the following: A deeper understanding and appreciation that we are one with God and have no fear; How to fill my heart and soul with Joy; The Sufi Dance that focused on holding the ‘candle of Christ was a highlight on several… 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.” Read more “One with God”
Perfect Balance
“This healing workshop had a perfect balance between personal healing and learning various modalities. The healing modalities were thorough (not rushed); I particularly enjoyed the EFT and how easy it is to implement in my day. The personal healing/cleansing was truly soul-level. Before I’d even left the haven of Avalon… 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.” Read more “Perfect Balance”
Personal Miracles
“I cannot thank you enough for the personal miracles I experienced this past week. I noticed after the final magnificent ceremony that I felt hollow, not in an empty, unfulfilled way, but rather like a hollow flute resonant with spirit. So many obstructions released, so much refilling. I cannot recommend… 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.” Read more “Personal Miracles”
Phenomenal Experience
“Wow! What a phenomenal experience. This was certainly the most balanced workshop I have ever had the privilege to attend. From the Qigong and yoga through the energy work and visualization to the very cool cloud-busting and exceptional lectures, it was without a doubt an all encompassing event. It fed… 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.” Read more “Phenomenal Experience”
Profound Discoveries
“Each day, the retreat was full of profound discoveries and experiences. I thought I had already completely cleared an area from my past, but discovered, doing your emotional tracking exercise, a significant piece of unhealed wounding that I was able to work through in the safe and loving environment this… 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.” Read more “Profound Discoveries”
Rare to Behold
“Being part of this Easter workshop was an extraordinary experience of both Christ presence and inner challenges. I am a sincere Course in Miracles student and to have a teacher/facilitator that bases his workshops on what I consider to be holy principles is a rare thing to behold. If you… 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.” Read more “Rare to Behold”
Quest for Healing
“Michael’s workshops are life changing. Doing his work has taken me from mild depression, unhealthy relationships, lack of direction and self-confidence to a thriving new life in almost every way. If applied the concepts from this workshop have the power to radically change one’s life. Between creating mission statements to… 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.” Read more “Quest for Healing”
Revealing, Healing, and Integrating
“There were so many exercises that brought about such clarity and healing for me. The first being the bow and arrow. I finally realized what it feels like to fully be connected with the pulse of ‘God. I also realized just how manic my energy usually is and how much… 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.” Read more “Revealing, Healing, and Integrating”
Reconnect
“The Life Mastery workshop accomplished many things through the physical activities we did, through the people that participated and through Michael’s spiritual guidance and presence. The focus of this workshop allowed me to reconnect that my mission is to transform my physical mind and body (since spirit needs no preparation)… 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.” Read more “Reconnect”
Reborn
“In the East, Buddhas are called the twice-born€”or dwija. The first gift of life is through the parents; the second gift we have to give to ourselves. Jesus said to Nicodemus that ‘Unless you are born again, you will not enter into the Kingdom of my God. Michael created the… 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!” Read more “Reborn”
Sense of Empowerment
“As I am still integrating the workshop, I see that I learned the value of watching my habits and realizing my distracting thoughts are all processes of the ego and that these behaviors are exactly what is keeping me from getting to the core of what I desire most. As… 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!” Read more “Sense of Empowerment”
Soul Self-Discovery
“This was my first opportunity to participate in the Mastery and Healing 5-Day Intensive Workshop, and as a venture into soul self-discovery, it was a physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually expanding experience. It offered the self-determined choice of “shall I step out in faith, or not?” Not only were we… told how to focus mind, heart, and energy, but it provided the “hands-on” happenings of making it real and living it. I won’t miss it again.” Read more “Soul Self-Discovery”
Serene Space
“The Healing workshop was MIRACULOUS! I had been waking up for months (and on and off for years) with anxiety, nausea, and knots in my stomach from past trauma’s being re-triggered. The first morning back after the workshop I awoke with an overwhelming sense of peace and was breathing deeper… 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.” Read more “Serene Space”
Soul Family
“Mere words cannot convey the experience that enveloped my soul in your Mastery Workshop. My essence is still ‘glowing with the knowledge & transformational change I experienced while others around me are noticing a significant difference making them very curious about what I did on my vacation! I would definitely say it shifted me… 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.” Read more “Soul Family”
Setting Intentions
“The day before the Mastery and Healing Intensive began, I set an intention that I would expand my consciousness, heal the past, and have a clearer vision of what’s next for me. I achieved all of that and so much more. I was able to dismantle two very old, outworn beliefs… 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.” Read more “Setting Intentions”
Single Best Decision
“After working intensely on my healing process over the past year, I felt drawn to attend this workshop. This workshop has been the single best decision and experience of my life. Michael’s teachings, were nothing less than mastery and oh how I learned so many new things. This was the… 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.” Read more “Single Best Decision”
Surrounded with Love
“Before the retreat started, I was feeling a scary little girl, with insecurities and too much pain in my soul. But I knew that I had to be there. I even had a dream wherein God showed to me the place in a dream. He showed me that was far… 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.” Read more “Surrounded with Love”
Testimony for Healing Trauma Workshop 12/06/14
“How do you express gratitude for a burden to be lifted of which you weren’t even consciously aware? My mind hid an event in my body’s cellular memory that I never imagined was there. Now I know that there is an on-going layering that buries such memories, until our desire… 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.” Read more “Testimony for Healing Trauma Workshop 12/06/14”
Transforming
“The Mastery Workshop was the most freeing, liberating, loving, transforming, Workshop I have attended. Attendees provided a safe and enjoyable environment to open up and grow. I felt a total release of lots of inhibitions/habits/behaviors that were holding me back from lovingly expressing myself. Highlights were: Yoga exercises, Jean’s creative… clay exercise, Reiki, the sacred warming fire, drumming, and the Soul Retrieval. Also, thoroughly enjoyed the delicious well prepared meals . . . not an easy task to please the tastes of 30 people! Thank You!” Read more “Transforming”
Truly Life Changing
“The Mastery Intensive was truly life changing! There is no other workshop that so thoroughly covers the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of truly living in Mastery. The adventure course was my favorite! It provides a visceral experience of overcoming fear and challenge by finding inspiration, focus, and go!… 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!” Read more “Truly Life Changing”
Tokyo Workshop
“Hello! I am the ‘full of anger high school teacher who attended your workshop in Tokyo last weekend. You mentioned me in one of your facebook posts. I’m writing this mail to say thank you again. Attending your workshop and being helped by you in the private session have changed my… 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.” Read more “Tokyo Workshop”
Truly a Miracle
“The night after the workshop I was unable to sleep as I was missing the energy of Michael and the group. I was reading Michael’s ‘Heart and Soul book and found myself having a verbal ‘conversation with God for about 2 hours. This is new for me. I then went outside to the stillness… of the lighted darkness of Sedona in a nearly full moon. I chose to surrender to God and asked for guidance in all I do, say and think. This is truly a miracle for me.” Read more “Truly a Miracle”
Total Acceptance
“One of the biggest things I experienced at the mastery workshop was the feeling of total acceptance from everyone. I loved how we did everything together (dinner, yoga, bon fire, etc.), and how everyone seemed to support each other. Everything at the workshop was great but I loved learning to… 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.” Read more “Total Acceptance”
Tokyo Workshop Part 2
“I have another thing to share: I had attended some other workshops before I attended yours. From each of them I learned a lot. But what made yours special to me was your absolute solid attitude that our relationship with God should always come first. Even though I practiced meditations… 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.” Read more “Tokyo Workshop Part 2”
Whole New Level
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience. I have always carried a great amount of frustration toward the traditional education on one hand and the traditional concept of vacation on the other hand. This workshop incorporated both, as it took my experience to a whole new level.a conscious life experience, which… 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.” Read more “Whole New Level”
Divine State
“My experience with the Mastery Workshop brought me to a place within that is truly a divine state of enlightenment with an invigorating spirit that is visible-inside and out. I came home from the program with a radiant glow about me, which was like a loving virus that positively affected… 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.” Read more “Divine State”
Clear and Open
“I am so glad that I reviewed this workshop and got to experience it anew with my husband. Both of us are so much more clear and opened up. I applied the qigong exercises with my elementary school children today. I added names to some of the moves like capturing… air in a balloon and releasing it to the sky, or spreading one wing at a time reading yourself for flight, or caterpillar moving along the ground and up-righting itself to see a new dimension. 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.” Read more “Clear and Open”
Clarity
“Wow Michael, your artistic application of bringing even the most complex concepts into clarity is such an incredible statement of your mastery not only in all you teach but as a teacher. The workshop was an amazing weave of information. I walked away with the ability to integrate holistically into… 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.” Read more “Clarity”
Complete Devotion
“Wow! That Mastery Workshop experience was amazing on so many levels. I really appreciated Michael’s passion and complete devotion to us and our process. The deep processing work has helped to clear what was muddy to me when viewing my internal landscape. I now have a greater understanding of how… 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.” Read more “Complete Devotion”
Confidence Builds
“What an amazing workshop! The Mastery and Healing Intensive is one full-on immersion into the exploration of one’s self on every level. I learn more and more about myself each time I take this workshop. The highlight for me this year was the adventure ropes course€”I felt like a kid… 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.” Read more “Confidence Builds”
Connected to the Divine
“What an amazing, healing, and transformative week!!! :-) Thank you!!! With deep appreciation and sheer gratitude to Michael for creating the sacred space for us all to come to together, and to each participant I thank you, for your love, acceptance, light, healing touch, and laughter that allowed healing to take place on so many… 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!” Read more “Connected to the Divine”
Crystal Clear Vision
“As I reflect on the Mastery Workshop, I find that I walked away with a crystal clear vision of the treasure that is my life purpose along with the very detailed map of how to get there. This includes action steps such as morning and evening meditations which include calling… 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.” Read more “Crystal Clear Vision”
Deep Healing
“I am in awe at the transformations that took place both for myself and others truly an intensive like no other. The deep healing on all levels€“emotionally, physically and spiritually in such a short period of time was incredible. Since more than one thing cannot occupy a space; it made… 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.” Read more “Deep Healing”
Blown Away
“I’m still blown away by the healing workshop! I’ve already begun applying the emotional healing techniques in my own practice. In fact, the day after I got home, one of my clients was releasing deep emotions, while I worked on her hip. Thanks to what I learned in this workshop,… 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.” Read more “Blown Away”

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.” Read more “Blessings”
Beauty that Surrounds
“Thank you Michael for all of your efforts to pull off yet another amazing Mastery workshop. Your home was absolutely elegant and the grounds were breathtaking. Your teaching alone would be more than enough to hold me captive in your workshops but it is the beauty that surrounds you from… the scrumptious meals that are prepared, to the constant flow of love that is shared in the students who feel love in the friendships we have created with one another. I am mostly so appreciative of how you are able to intuit the greatest good for a large group of people and can shift and mold the material you teach to fit the need.” Read more “Beauty that Surrounds”
Beautiful Meditations
“The Healing Intensive is the 3rd of Michael Mirdad’s workshops that I have attended. Each has been wonderful with its own unique emphasis and some commonalities. Each time I return home feeling deeply and permanently transformed to a greater level of peace, integration, strength, clarity, ease and love in my life… 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.” Read more “Beautiful Meditations”
Beautiful Energy
“Every time I’ve attended a workshop at Avalon, I feel as if the entire time has been scripted especially for me, from the teaching/exercises, to the fellow attendees, even down to the weather and nature. What a beautiful blend of energy coming together to help me heal, to help me… 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.” Read more “Beautiful Energy”
Changed My Life
“Michael Mirdad’s Mastery Workshop changed my life both personally and professionally. His inspirational approach to teaching us how to become Masters in everything we do has already made a difference in how I carry out my daily life tasks. Michael is able to effectively combine a Spiritual focus with a… 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.” Read more “Changed My Life”
Captivated
“I also feel the increased strength of my gifts the ease at which the power of god moves through me; all from centering and calling in god. Thank you Michael for your amazing way of teaching with such fun and the ability to keep us all so captivated. Thanks to all… of you who made this a wonderful week!!” Read more “Captivated”
By Far the Best
“I have attended, and assisted, at several of Michael Mirdad’s Mastery workshops and this was by far the best! We had a symbiotic group right from the start. Our intentions and focus built day by day as we realigned with our soul’s purpose and connected with each other as a… 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.” Read more “By Far the Best”
Amazingly Focused
“I’ve come home with so many tools that I experience peace beyond all understanding. It’s been like rock-climbing-staying grounded within while reaching for just the right hand/foot-hold that will help me ascend a little further. In the past, after these workshops I’ve usually felt fragile upon re-entry into the world-but… 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!” Read more “Amazingly Focused”
Altered State
“I really enjoyed the Healing Workshop. I loved getting to know everyone there and it was great to have so many healing methods brought together in one place. It made so much sense to me and moved me along well in my understanding of healing arts. One highlight for me… 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.” Read more “Altered State”
Awed
“Once again, I am floored. I must be doing VERY well to manifest a such a masterful workshop. Michael’s shared information is unsurpassed. I am intrigued and awed by his range of knowledge and presented with such fluidity, love and unswerving yet patient focus. I loved the rock climbing and… 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.” Read more “Awed”
Accelerating Growth
“Not only did I experience powerful personal healing in this 5 day retreat, I also came away with many important practical techniques and approaches that I can offer to my own clients. This workshop was great for accelerating growth and transformation, and for anchoring those changes into my life.”
A Master Healer
“Dear Micheal: I am writing this to extend my deepest gratitude for your work. As a recipient of past healing it has been so insightful to see you work. You are a Master healer. This is why I chose you as my teacher. This is why I continue to attend… 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!” Read more “A Master Healer”
A Fountain of Love
“There is so much to write, yet there are no words for me, only the imprint on my heart and soul in a feeling, ineffable! I left with a fountain of love and joy to share with the world. I would so like to share my private feelings in regards… 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 Read more “A Fountain of Love”
From Online Courses, Workshops & Intensives
Honored and Grateful
“I am so very grateful for the opportunity to have been able to attend this workshop. The time together was most amazing with such a wide range of emotions and activities. The bio-energetic exercises that we did as a group really opened up blockages in my body. I was initially… 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.” Read more “Honored and Grateful”
Working Our Way to the Truth
“Unlike many online courses that tend to be mostly reading, Michael’s online course is very much experiential. In this course we (as individuals and as a group) are clearing away the veils of illusion, like cob webs, while working our way to the Truth. Before doing this course, I struggled… 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.” Read more “Working Our Way to the Truth”
Perception and Understanding
“Through this course on Christ Consciousness, I’ve watched my perception and understanding make shifts, both dramatic and subtle. What was a physical ‘reality for me is now more like an awareness. I think I can imagine what it means to live and be as an integrated body, mind, and soul.… 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!!!” Read more “Perception and Understanding”
Easy to Feel God
“The material in the Christ Consciousness course is deep and profound and is taught in a step by step, easy to apply manner. I love how we started off on the material level with practical cleansing in our lives, gradually making room for great new lifestyles choices and healthy belief-systems.… 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.” Read more “Easy to Feel God”
More Love and Compassion
“What I really love about the course is that it keeps me on the path every day. Before doing this course, I would wander off, and then get so mad at myself. And it has, more than anything, helped me with my anger. Now I have more love and compassion… 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.” Read more “More Love and Compassion”
Calm and Confident
“The Inner Christ online course, with its ongoing incredible timing and seemingly supernatural synchronicity, offered me the perfect opportunity to continue my Spiritual education, and to feel connected, supported, and loved within a like-minded group. I have gained so much knowledge and am becoming much more secure in knowing what… 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!” Read more “Calm and Confident”
Fantastic Online Course
“The online course has been fantastic for me. I can’t imagine what this year would have been like without it! The scope is exactly what I’ve needed to support my integration and growth. While my morning practice isn’t ‘perfect, the ‘homework has become a part of me and my daily… 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!” Read more “Fantastic Online Course”
What a Gift
“I’ve been on the spiritual path for many years now but I felt I needed some help taking it to the next step. I could feel my ego blocks and other things holding me back. I signed up for the Christ Consciousness course and every lesson has taken us on… 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!” Read more “What a Gift”
The Smartest Choice
“The Inner Christ Online Course was one of the smartest choices to healing that I have made. It was wonderful having in essence, a spiritual life coach sending me material each week that I felt accountable in doing. Not only has the material helped me to clear emotional baggage, but… 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.” Read more “The Smartest Choice”
Calm and Productive
“I knew inside I had to take the online Christ Consciousness Course but I didn’t know why. Since starting the course, I’ve been able to carry myself in a higher, more relaxed state of consciousness throughout the day. I feel more relaxed, and have been able to notice when feeling… agitated and use everything I’ve learned in this course to become more calm and productive with work, friends, and family.” Read more “Calm and Productive”
Empowered Me
“The Christ Consciousness online course is truly life shifting. It is wonderfully set up, and each lesson gives you an opportunity to connect deeper to God and your spiritual path. The most enjoyable part of this course for me is seeing every lesson working through ALL parts of my life.… 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.” Read more “Empowered Me”

Adventure in Self Discovery
“The on-line course on Christ Consciousness has been an adventure in self discovery. This course helps us clean ourselves internally & externally . . . our bodies, cells, thoughts, closets, cars, and desks. The processes taught in this course have created a healing on a deep level, which opens us… up more fully to our connection to Spirit and to our True Essence.” Read more “Adventure in Self Discovery”
A Gentle Touch Can Melt Years of Defense
“Michael, Thank you so much for your focused attention at Saturday’s workshop and during my session last week. It is amazing to me how much a gentle touch on the shoulder has opened me up. There are so many ways I shut myself down over the past 24 years that… 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.” Read more “A Gentle Touch Can Melt Years of Defense”
The Answers to My Questions
“Greetings Michael! I attended Unity on The River this past weekend for both the morning service and your afternoon workshop session. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I left your lecture with many questions answered as well as many more to explore. I have attended an… 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.” Read more “The Answers to My Questions”
