These retreats awaken me more deeply into life itself, not just as it is interpreted via my mind but directly,
through my senses, my body, breathe and very being – through an experiential understanding of connectedness. 
Paul encourages me to open to experiencing being here with steadiness and a sense of wonder.
Paul’s skills and wisdom lie essentially in inviting us to be curious about our own experience of each unfolding
moment. I feel a deep gratitude for his teachings, and his willingness to share knowledge and wisdom gathered
over so many years of enquiry and experience.
Since beginning these retreats, I do feel more courage and grace as I move through the world,
through my life and through the spiritual journey.  The only word that would come close to encompassing
the retreat experience for me would be “profound”.
