Only 3 things? Lol. The workshop was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I was able to let go of anger that I was holding onto from past events in my life, I was able to forgive myself for what I consider where my crimes against myself and people that I love, as well as forgiveness towards others, I learned acceptance of who I am and that I am worth loving. I also learned that love is a choice, facing my fears is a choice. I learned how to cry, stay in the moment and face things. Most importantly I learned how to look in my own eyes and love who I saw looking back at me.

For me, I discovered my voice and how to stand for myself, feeling and expressing all of my emotions without guilt or shame, and how to let go of stories that no longer serves me
Ari Gronich
I became acutely aware of the game I was playing that was jeeping me from connecting with myself and others at a truly deep level.
The space of safety that is created allowed me let go of massive life pain and then most of all fill back up with love and forgiveness

This workshop radically changed my life... for the better! Top benefits: more self love, a safe space to begin deep healing that will continue long after the workshop ends, and uncovering truths necessary to grow spiritually. <3

I discovered I wasn't alone, that my attempts to shield myself from pain rather than face & conquer it kept me from experiencing joy, & that my true power is in loving.

An understanding of Love of self, realizing we all have different stories but the same pain and a deeper compassion and connection for all. But there are certainly more than three.

Before I did my workshop in 2004, I was emotionally locked so tightly, that I was literally living dead. All I saw in my life is what I should do, what I have to do, and who I needed to do those things for. I was simply living to please everyone else. I didn't think about myself. I didn't take care of myself. My wants, needs, dreams, and feelings were swept under a rug and walked all over. I was miserable at best and completely numb at my worst. Everything in my life that had once been good was now suffering~ my job, my friendships, and my relationships. I was lost in a world that I didn't feel like I was a part of. Making the decision to attend The Way Through workshop was really hard for me. I was terrified to trust not only in the process, but also the friends who had recommended it. I was afraid to relinquish the control that I thought I had. I didn't want to admit that I was in desperate need of a new beginning and a new path for my life. I even felt guilty that I was doing something for only me. It would be the first real commitment that I had ever made to myself. Despite my fears, I went. I gave the work my everything! I was open and honest, and I participated 100%. I kept my commitment to myself, and at the end of the weekend, I can honestly say for the first time in years, I was AWAKE!!!! I was more alive than I had ever been! Everything felt new! I felt like I had a clearer vision of my life and where I wanted it to go! It sounds strange, but I swear even my senses were stronger! Food tasted better, flowers smelled prettier, even words were clearer! That weekend, I received some of the greatest gifts life can offer! I gave myself permission to be me! I learned about the power of choice. I found my creativity. I remembered how important love is. I learned how to forgive myself and how to let go of things and people who do not serve me on my journey. I could go on and on, but really, the most amazing gift was the opportunity to meet myself for the first time in years! Since that first workshop, I have been on a continued journey for empowerment, love, and joy. My road hasn't always been smooth, but it has been fruitful! I thank the stars for the workshop because I am living a life of my choosing and regardless of what comes my way, I will always walk with the wisdom I was blessed with at the workshop, knowing I can overcome anything!

Well we are back in COLD PA after an exciting, exhilarating, insightful, life changing weekend at the workshop!!!! The key word here is "life changing"!!! We are both still very much pumped up after the weekend. So thx to everyone for the work. To say that we have found a place that both of thought had disappeared forever is an understatement. We both feel the changes that the workshop brought us every day - our hearts are so much closer than either of us thought possible before we headed south to Lauderdale. The sharing of feelings and dreams continues each day since we flew home. We can't understand the "magic" of the workshop - and maybe never will - but we are both so very thankful for the opportunity to find our true selves. Clarity of understanding ourselves and being able to trust our hearts is back again!!!!!!!!! We wish we could be there tonight to see all of you! We miss you very much!!!!!

The Way Through - Was the embarkment of a journey I had thought I had taken so many times before.
A way to repave the road I had traveled, or so I thought it would be. Not so.
While I did have to turn around to see the path that had led me to where I am today,
it was only to bring me to an understanding of
where I now wanted to go and how I could stop trying to repave or re-create what had already been done but instead take those experiences as they were... lessons.
This workshop helped me to recognize the huge uncovered manholes that had been blocking my forward motion journey of my life. Those "holes" that I carefully avoided for so long,
I could now, safely step right up to knowing that if I ventured down those holes I wouldn't be lost forever because I was surrounded by those that had made the trek before me and survived. Not only
survived but came to know that those deep dark holes weren't as scary as they seemed to be when I first traveled along that road of life.
I could now, confidently and peacefully move forward along my life's journey knowing that should an obstacle be presented, all I have to do
is face it head on, examine it without fear (remembering the love and support I have always) chip away or climb over it (I no longer needed to avoid it or
allow it to stop my forward footsteps) and keep on keepin on.
The Way for me is Through it~

The weekend I spent at the workshop was one of the most memorable weekends of my life. At first I did not know what to expect, and I was scared of the unknown, and once we got started there were a few times that I wanted to just walk away, but that would have been too easy. So instead I stayed, and I was glad I did. It changed me, changed who I was, changed how I thought, and I couldn’t believe I did it in just 2 days! Thank you for Martie for inviting me to share in something that would transform me forever.
