Men, Breath & Spirit: Testimonials

Tim: "Men, Breath and Spirit is much more than a weekend of breathwork. This is a weekend of discovery, learning, insight, reflection, challenge and humour. Daricha provides a safe and supportive environment for men to explore and push past their limits, and his insight and knowledge is amazing. Of course, the breathwork itself is beyond explanation, and is highly recommended. Thanks Daricha. Thanks again!"

Ian: "I attended the Men, Breath & Spirit weekend in November 2008. Having previously visited the Center for work and study several times I had no doubt but that this would be a great weekend. It exceeded my expectations.
Since it rained almost all of the weekend we spent most of our time in the Shiva Temple. Daricha talked with us about the qualities and strengths of a man that are so often overlooked (or even unheard of) in mainstream Western 'culture'. This alone was like a breath (no pun intended) of fresh air. Daricha also introduced us to the power of Breathwork and gave a fascinating overview of how and why it can work so well in releasing trauma patterns and conditioned behaviors that restrict the personality.
We also were trained in two very powerful Breathwork patterns that allowed us to experience first hand the potency of this modality. Those of us with more experience of Breathwork were able to experience powerful altered states of consciousness. I literally felt patterns of tension in my body begin to melt away.
One great benefit was simply to spend time with 'brothers', with men following the path of self-discovery in a way that was most definitely not that of the New Age wimp. My own fear of the masculine that has stemmed from severe bullying and bashing at school, and my father's mental illness, was significantly healed by this weekend's experiences. I cannot recommend this program highly enough to any man wishing to find the truth of who and how he is in the world."
