The interview

What was your experience before attending 40 Years of Zen?

Before 40 Years of Zen, I had done meditation practices, read books about self help and was still facing a lot of challenges in terms of moving practices into my life and seeing results. I was stuck in a number of spots in my life that were just very frustrating for me in terms of moving forward and moving out of them, and I discovered that the more effort I made things moved slowly.

How would you describe the facility and the staff?

The set and setting here is amazing, the staff is amazing, a lot of care goes into every day and every space and this facility. The guides here, facilitators are amazing and it's just, it's from start to finish it's been amazing.

What specifically shifted for you during the program?

What shifted the most for me was seeing my true self, my spirit and my ego and how much trouble my ego causes in my life but at the same time I'm not getting rid of it so we're going to learn to work together. I have cleared out some of the confusing messages that my own internal system creates and so I'm looking forward to showing up much more grounded, much more ready and also more productive and more collaborative and more creative.

How do you feel about going back into the world after five days?

After being here for five days, I feel like the changes that occurred inside of me are going to be the things that show up outside in the world around me and how I show up with the people in my life. I just feel more comfortable going out into what can be a chaotic world. I'm most excited about getting back out there and getting to work in a new way.

What is your biggest takeaway from the experience?

My biggest takeaway is that this is a combination of a multitude of practices and technologies and processes that I will never forget and that have integrated very quickly into my current way of doing things. I'm looking forward to using these tools out in the world.

Who would you recommend this program to?

I'd recommend 40 Years of Zen to someone who was looking for some clarity in their life. They'd have to be willing to do the work and dig in and the results are amazing.
