TESTIMONIALS
What participants have shared about this journey to Self:
The Level 1 workshop for me was incredible -- mere words cannot
express the impact it has made on my life. The nurturing environment and
unconditional love provided by John and the "angels" made me feel
as if I had experienced a slice of what heaven must be like. Awesome!!!
I look forward to the journey of getting to know my authentic self.

You don't need to feel "broken" to experience life-enhancing
lessons from Aspire, although its OK if that is where you're beginning the
adventure. Love, acceptance, and safety are potent elixirs for us all, and
the Aspire workshops provide them in abundance. Go ahead, trust yourself,
you deserve it.
- Liz Merry - Business Consultant, M.B.A
I'm immensely grateful. I feel like a completely different
person. I don't even remember who I was prior to Level 1. I've been completely
set free. I almost continuously know a level of peace and joy and serenity
that just IS: a general state of being.
- Steven MacNear, Marine Survveyor
I can't thank you enough for all that Aspire has contributed
to my personal growth and well being. I have never felt so secure , happy,
honest, caring and loving! Without your help, I could not have reached this
milestone. I experienced more than I ever hoped to and have been able to
bring this home with me. I met with my children today and really connected
with them. Thank- you, Thank-you.
- Darrin Synott, Calgary, Alberta (Canada)
I have never experienced the feelings I've had since the weekend.
I have never felt such an incredible sense of freedom. For the moment it
seems as though I am without guilt, tension, fear, or pain. Something is/has
happened to me and I am extremely grateful to Aspire for giving me this
opportunity to grow into a new model of relationship.
- Carol Dominguez, Davis, CA
I have to say that this workshop was probably the most rewarding
among those I have attended in my short time with ASPIRE. Being present
in the safe, comfortable space was truly magical. I feel as though I was
lifted to a new and enlightened awareness of others and myself, in the context
of unconditional love. It seems as though I was able to pick up where I
left off at the last workshop, only to soar even higher. The encounters
I've had with my family have been very different since I came home: we are
speaking of things openly, honestly, and lovingly. I am choosing to live
life with true purpose.
- Carol Bracco, Petaluma, CA
Words fail me, and yet, I want so badly to thank you for the
unconditional love and support you showed me at Level 3. I'm not sure how
I landed here in the Aspire "family", but I am deeply, deeply
grateful!
- Ellen Anderson, Davis, CA
I spent a lifetime protected by a survivor's mask -- carefully
crafted from the darkness of a brutal past. Faith told me that there was
a better way, but my efforts only seemed to bring me to the "window"
-- outside, looking in; able to see, but not to be. Then I experienced three
days of total grace. Simple really. Kindness: pure and unpretentious, deep
and guiding; delivering truth and strength to dark, dark places that i am
now free to cry for. That I am now free to shine light in, around and through.
And freeing me to see that the light is meant as much for me as for everyone.
I am deeply grateful.
- Laura Svendsgaard, Seaview, OR
The STAR experience for me was like a dramatic initiation
in which I was re-introduced to my real self.
- Larry Andrews, Writer/Journalist/Educator
Thought provoking, powerful, and absolutely transformational,
the STAR Level 1 experience can be described as a moment in time that touches
and changes one's life forever.
- Loni Diacono, Medical Transcriptionist
Lonely and unhappy, I took a chance with Aspire. My reward
was an unparalleled experience of love and healing. This work reconnects
us with ourselves and challenges us to effect a liberating change on every
level.
