HEALING WORKSHOP FEEDBACK

Michael weaves an amazing tapestry of healing in the 5-day healing intensive workshop. Panicked as I was at first to face myself, my issues and the darkness, somehow with Michael, God, and support from the group, I stayed the course! Thank God I did! How do you describe a miracle in words? Such a great quantity of purging and release was replaced with an abundance of love, tenderness, laughter, and caring. At times it felt like the scariest place (but that was all in my mind and ego) and yet it was one of the safest places I have ever been. The journey to find and face myself was magnificent (bumpy and fear laden but necessary). I am now home and feel lighter and braver. The gratitude I feel is enormous.

I am in awe at the transformations that took place both for myself and others—truly an “intensive” like no other. The deep healing on all levels–emotionally, physically and spiritually in such a short period of time was incredible. Since more than one thing cannot occupy a space; it made so much sense for us to clear out the blocks, release them, make peace with them and fill up with what was intended . . . God. We helped and supported each other, both with learning actual techniques for our healer’s “toolbox,” as well as learning to trust our own guidance as healers. Every day was just the right balance of going to the edge and coming back stronger, cleaner, and clearer. It’s impossible to articulate the depths of joy and sadness and how quickly the energy can be shifted from that place of confusion and hopelessness to compassion for self and others, even those we struggle with, when our intention matches our willingness and ability to trust. I finally feel like I can live the life I came here for. I am free from resentments, jealousies, judgments, and the tendency to perpetuate old patterns through traumatizing, neglecting, and sacrificing myself. Things that used to occupy my mind would be difficult to conjure up now. The Reiki, the re-birth and resurrection, our meditation around the bonfire, the tracking exercises, Kundalini yoga, bodywork, EFT, acupressure, and massage . . . there was such a great variety and combination of healing modalities as well as hands-on learning. This was clearly the best thing I have ever done for myself.
–Kim, TX

The Healing Intensive is an extraordinary opportunity for people to learn, practice and experience first-hand a variety of simple but powerful techniques to heal the body, mind and spirit. Michael’s authentically holistic approach to health encourages healing at the soul level, which accomplishes thorough and complete healing and release of physical and emotional trauma and abuse. The attendees learned to clear issues from the body and mind from traumas involving anger, terror, grief, abandonment, rejection, frustration, and fear. Besides learning hands-on healing techniques like EFT, massage, acupressure, and Reiki, we also learned techniques for tracking emotions, beliefs, and pain, care of the body, meditation and prayer for healing and spiritual refilling. This healing workshop showed us all how to create a joyful, productive, and abundant life. Michael’s teaching style is highly motivational, deeply inspired, loving, compassionate, injected with lightness and humor and at all the right times. Healing ourselves and others is the most important work we can do, and Michael makes powerful techniques accessible to everyone willing to learn and grow.

My first Healing Workshop was a deep profound experience. Initial trepidation upon arrival was soon replaced by a sense that I and all attendees were in a safe, respectful and God-centered environment. The classes were varied and ranged between lectures and total experiential exercises to take us into the deepest regions of our body, our mind, our spirit, and our souls. We quickly learned to relax and trust the flow of this masterfully crafted workshop from a very gifted spiritual teacher and healer. Thank you Michael for guiding so many of us on our journey into a consciousness of joy, peace, and light. I extend my eternal gratitude for you sharing all that you are and being such a selfless example of The Living Christ.

After committing to this workshop, I questioned myself as to the practicality of such an adventure. I felt it to be somewhat selfish and irresponsible to take time off from school, making money and my family. But thankfully a good friend had recommended Michael’s books and workshops and so I chose to trust the moment and intuitively felt it to be a necessity. The past 5 days have forever changed my life. I cannot adequately express the appreciation and gratitude for the many gifts that I have received during this time. The abundance of hope, love, spirit, and resources provided were/are invaluable. In addition to addressing issues that have permeated my life, this workshop has reintroduced practices that I had unintentionally discarded, while also introducing new material that I had always wished to explore. This amazing comprehensive workshop incorporated a phenomenal collection of healing modules that blew me away. I still cannot conceive how so many practices were incorporated with such quality and professionalism in such a short time. This concise methodical, purposeful approach to healing was presented in a progression of events with utmost integrity to ones pain while also infusing creativity, spontaneity and humor. The gardens, the woods and the place itself, felt like Heaven on Earth. I felt peace for the first time in a very long while. The group of people involved also blew me away. The individuality and beauty of each one was an integral part of the experience. I feel like I have reestablished connections and made new friends for life.
–Karen, FL

The healing workshop was amazing!!! Much deeper than I expected. The property to start with was beautiful, the energy incredible. The house, the workshop, the little river, and the beautiful peaceful garden with waterfalls and ponds and walking paths set the tone for a safe, peaceful, energizing and healing experience. The workshop was coordinated and organized in a way that only one with insight, knowledge, spirituality and perceptiveness could pull off. The days and evenings were full of activities that flowed in a seamless manner alternating between exceptional deep healing exercises, learning and practicing various healing modalities, and those that filled us up with food, dance, laughter, exercise, body work and a sense of togetherness. I cannot believe the amount of learning, deep self exploration, and healing that Michael was able to combine in 5 days. And I will not forget the laughter, the tears, the deep messages received, the support shown to each other, the sense of oneness, and the safety and compassion of this very special workshop. Each exercise was so unique, extremely well thought out, and powerful in their own way. This workshop has re-opened me, and allowed energy and love to flow through me again.
–Laura, ONT

In the East, Buddhas are called the twice-born—or dwija. The first gift of life is through the parents; the second gift we have to give to ourselves. Jesus said to Nicodemus that “Unless you are born again, you will not enter into the Kingdom of my God.” Michael created the most beautiful situation I ever experienced to allow this rebirth to happen within all of us. During the lectures, bio-energetic work, and symbolic exercises of this retreat, I felt we were all “becoming” together—like being “reborn” together. It was so beautiful, I’m at a loss for words. By releasing past issues that were so buried in our psyche and bodies, there was a new space being created within us to be filled with Light. There was this realization of what Jesus meant when he taught that we must die as an ego, die as a personality, die as past, and also die as the mind. We have to let go. Then we are filled with God! Then we are born into being! Thank you, Michael, for creating such a beautiful healing and re-birth for all of us on Easter Day!
—Ingrid, MI

This workshop ranks right up there as one of highest experiences of my life. I came in with an expectation of learning some good healing modalities and possibly getting clarity on some personal issues. But what I came away with was a life changing experience that I know I’ll never go back to my former way of thinking. I had such a tremendous release during the breath-work, I would say it was nothing short of a miracle! I was amazed at how quickly, in the workshop environment, I could feel safe enough to let go and how deeply powerful the emotion erupted from my soul! No counseling, therapy or prescription drugs have ever been so profoundly beneficial! I had another peak experience during the anger work. I have to credit my healing partner during that exercise for being so right there for me, supportive, strong and loving, she said the exactly right words at the right moment! I left feeling healed from the inside out and it was very encouraging to hear I had helped others too.
—Jennifer, OR

I want to thank Michael for encouraging me to attend the healing workshop and for seeing through all my defense mechanisms. This truly helped me confront the layers of my unconscious pain. Now I can see and understand how the journey to enlightenment is not for the “weak-of-heart.” The anger that I saw in myself through the exercises left me tired and dismantled, yet I am now one step closer to God and to understanding the truth of my place in this world. You are the only teacher/healer I have ever known who can intuit a client’s needs so clearly, while also offering enough love to assist them to do what is for their highest good.
—Angela, TX

I really enjoyed the Healing Workshop. I loved getting to know everyone there and it was great to have so many healing methods brought together in one place. It made so much sense to me and moved me along well in my understanding of healing arts. One highlight for me was doing the massage . . . to simply love the body. The rest follows. This morning I added a little breath-work to my “tracking” exercise, thinking I would just take the top off some feelings and I found myself experiencing very deep emotions and profound healing. This workshop also taught me a great deal about emotional healing. Now, I feel like I’m walking around in an altered state and every now and then I’ll realize that I’m mentally in sync with everything around me.
—Amelia, OR

I cannot express how impactful the healing workshop was for me. We learned powerful tools for healing others and ourselves. I remembered that I have no limitations. I am in awe of the gifts God has bestowed upon me. I am in awe of my life. I released so much at the retreat and it has continued. I have let go of stuff that I did not even know I needed to let go of . . . and Michael’s love and ability to know exactly what each one of us (I) needed, amazed me.
—Sandra, CA

As I was flying home I was replaying the workshop in my mind and was smiling at the variety of things we learned. I am so grateful that the workshop re-ignited or deepened the healer in me. I absolutely loved the emotional healing where we worked with others using a combination of breath work, physical body work, intuition, and passive and active resistance to trigger issues on a cellular level to bring them forth to be healed. For me this was the absolute best-learning so many effective methods to help people (as well as ourselves) to heal. We learned healing and counseling skills that most counselors don’t even know! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
—Ron, ONT

The Healing Workshop was definitely an “Intensive!” So much was given and so much was received. I observed myself going through the process of resistance, my patterns, denial, ego, and finally acceptance and gratitude. And I concluded that you, Michael, must be a genius to be able to “read” each of us and know just when and how to manage our learning and processing.
—Christina, OR

My experience at the workshop was incredible. Everything that I needed was provided for me. The Magic of Michael Mirdad is that he shows you the way, he helps you through the path, but you have to do the work. Being with Michael has brought me to a very Buddhist place in my life, which is that I am responsible for what happens in my life, it is all about my choice in harmony with spirit. I have now learned to replace pain memories with present love and I am learning to love others without projections and expectations. There are really no words to express my gratitude of what I have learned.
—Franco, AK

I’m still blown away by the healing workshop! I’ve already begun applying the emotional healing techniques in my own practice. In fact, the day after I got home, one of my clients was releasing deep emotions, while I worked on her hip. Thanks to what I learned in this workshop, she didn’t just release, instead, she experienced some real healing. I am always amazed by how much ground we cover in Michael Mirdad’s workshops. Furthermore, the love and mastery he brings to teaching and healing is unsurpassed. I now feel inspired to attend the next healing workshop, to further hone my skills and deepen my understanding, as well as my own healing–something all healers should do.
—Carol, TX

This healing workshop had a perfect balance between personal healing and learning various modalities. The healing modalities were thorough (not rushed); I particularly enjoyed the EFT and how easy it is to implement in my day. The personal healing/cleansing was truly soul-level. Before I’d even left the haven of Avalon I felt stronger and more grounded. This workshop rounded out one year of intense healing and the results I’m experiencing in my life are indescribable.
—Jen, FL

This was my third retreat at Avalon, and I am amazed that each one has taken me through such different levels of processing towards my goal of being whole. I am blessed to have been a part of such an extraordinary group of students and teachers. I am in awe of the power of this retreat. I was constantly being challenged to open, both physically and emotionally. I learned not only new tools to heal myself but also others. I was completely surprised by my ability to open and release through body work, and the energy that flowed through me during the cranial exercise blew me away. Learning EFT was fascinating. I am using it every day. I loved the anger release. The “resurrection” exercise helped me two-fold (among others) . . . I realized I do need to open my heart more to myself and others and how good it felt to leave patterns behind.
—Sandra, CA

Every time I’ve attended a workshop at Avalon, I feel as if the entire time has been scripted especially for me, from the teaching/exercises, to the fellow attendees, even down to the weather and nature. What a beautiful blend of energy coming together to help me heal, to help me to grow, to help me see that God is all around me, not somewhere else waiting for me. This workshop was the best! The group seemed to blend so easily together. As always, Michael conducted the workshop with just the right amount of balance, some difficult, challenging moments (namely the emotional harvesting) and some wonderful, soft moments (massages). Again, I am amazed at the amount of ground we cover is such a short period of time. Surely we were there for several weeks, not just several days. I found all of the exercises extremely helpful in the healing process. As far as the bioenergetics exercises, I found them to be very effective . . . not always enjoyable , but very effective. I also enjoyed learning EFT . . . I love that it’s such a simple process which gives dramatic results.
—Sally, TX

As I write this, I feel my crown chakra buzzing pleasantly. My heart-expanding. Towards everybody, everything, and most importantly, towards Myself. I feel the intense heat of Spirit flowing through me, and know I’m connected, and more amazingly, know I will always be this connected whenever I want. And I’ve got a feeling I will be wanting more and more . . . Yesterday, a friend called and I almost blurted, “I feel Divine!” instead of “I am fine.” Gentler I am, with myself. And I know what to do, when a friend asks for helps. Confidently, I instinctively sent EFT healing. And I know it helped. I could feel it, feel her sigh, lean back into the warmth and love. I also appreciated how Michael addressed each problem as it arose; good leadership.
—Lisanne, FL

I am so very grateful for the opportunity to have been able to attend this workshop. The time together was most amazing with such a wide range of emotions and activities. The bio-energetic exercises that we did as a group really opened up blockages in my body. I was initially shy since it felt like most people already knew one another but it didn’t take long before their warm, loving ways helped me to feel very much included in the group. I was so honored to work with such courageous spirits. I feel that I grew in leaps and bounds by the time we all said good-bye.
—Patti, ONT

Before the retreat started, I was feeling a scary little girl, with insecurities, with too much pain in my soul. But I knew that I had to be there. I even had a dream wherein God showed to me the place in a dream. He showed me that was far away from home, I saw the green of the pine trees, I saw the lake, I saw the water. In my dream I asked questions: How I am going there? What should I do? God showed to me that was so easy to get there. After this dream I met Michael and I decided to go to the retreat. Being there was a beautiful dream, the warmth of the house, the freshness of the air, the purest of the water, and the most important thing, I was surrounded with love! In the workshop, I went back to my childhood, feeling the same pain that I had at that time. I feel the pain for the absence of my dad and I lived again the hell of being in a dark room. But this time I could also feel safe and happy. I could feel God’s presence around the whole place. I enjoyed walking around the property, to be at the labyrinth, to be at the garden, and to hear the sound of the water. I enjoyed how everybody took such great care of each other, how they showed their unconditional love, and yet allowed each one of us to have our feelings. I also learned 1. To love myself in all dimensions: body, emotions, mind, soul and spirit. 2. To understand that the past and the future don’t exist, therefore I will not be worry about them. 3. To live the present surrounded by love in union with Mother Father God. 4. To be a healer of myself and to heal others. 5. To bring peace, respect, compassion, in one word unconditional love to everybody else that is around me. 6. To be very thankful with God for my life, others life and this beautiful world.
