This year has started off as such a special one, as over a dozen new alumni
from California were able to make the trip out to Asheville, North Carolina to attend their
first Spiritual Retreat. The Inner Heart and Spiritual Retreat workshops are
a big step forwards continuing the heart-opening
spiritual journey
begun with the local Reiki Tummo workshops. An amazing time of
self-discovery was had by all, and I am delighted to share with you comments
made by some of these sweethearts on attending this retreat:
"I am so grateful for Reiki Tummo. I started by just signing up for
Reiki Tummo 1 and when I experienced the joy, peace and bliss I signed up
for everything I could. Practicing Reiki Tummo has added so much peace and
calm to my life and deepened my personal and spiritual development. I just
attended the Spiritual retreat for the first time and my life and
perspective is new and fresh filled with peace joy and love. I had my heart
opened to a deep level a few times at a spiritual course that I kept taking
and prayed for a way to live and share that state of consciousness with
everyone. Little did I know when I signed up for Reiki Tummo that it would
be the answer to that prayer. After participating in the spiritual retreat
and the Open Heart 3 and 4 I now have the experience and understanding to
make that dream a reality. Having your heart opened to a greater level of
consciousness is one thing but to live in a state of open hearted
consciousness is life changing."

"Without a doubt I can say that Inner Heart & SR were the 3 most
important days of my life... Please come to the IH & SR in order to FEEL, I
mean REALLY FEEL your connection with Love and True Source (God)..... When
alumni in the past would say "It just keeps getting better", I'd think, good
grief, what are these people talking about? But now, I am happy to report
that I am one with them."

"I am left blissfully without words really. Although, if I must write
something, I would say that I am eternally grateful for the experience. It
has altered my outlook on life and my daily routine in the most positive
sense. I see my purpose here (on earth) with greater clarity....Each day
was filled with so much learning, letting go, embracing and being grateful
for True Source, Irman and the room full of people sharing the experience
together... Everyone was so open and loving. I was so refreshed to find so
many beautiful spirits under one roof. It gave me hope for our future....
My mind was officially blown and my heart allowed to truly blossom for the
first time. I witnessed every petal reaching full extension and radiating
love with such strength that my breath was taken away several times....The
beauty of releasing. Whether it was crying uncontrollably or laughing
without boundaries, I found inner peace..."

"My first retreat experience
was amazing to say the least. I went into it without expectations, and came
out more open and willing to be an instrument of True Sources Love & Light
every moment... My favorite part of retreat was when I was able to relax and
let go and feel the Love and Light of True Source pulsing through me,
longing for 'home' while listening to the sounds of everyone in the room
expressing their joy and release in different ways... I will attend another
retreat for sure. It was really great to connect with hearts from all over
the country and the world and to feel all the love! Practicing and feeling
our inner hearts and following True Sources Love and Light for just the
three days I attended strengthened my commitment and connection so much. I
came home beaming and excited to practice to love True Source more. :) And I
have!.. If you're on the fence about going, go. Follow your heart...
:) "
