“Working two jobs and owning one as a business is not easy by any means and there's a lot of good but there was also a lot of just struggle and distraction.”
“The pod work was so much deeper and intense than I thought, sitting in a little egg shaped room by yourself could be and it was amazing and it was life changing.”
“I get to be free in the present moment, I get to be fully present, I get to pay attention, I get to really absorb what's going around me instead of just trying not to pay attention to the track in the back of my head.”
The interview
What were you struggling with before coming to 40 Years of Zen?
About a week ago, I was struggling with racing thoughts, not being able to pay attention, poor focus, and poor motivation. My life was really hectic and demanding; working two jobs and owning one as a business is not easy, and I felt hopeless or powerless, like I had no choice but to do this and it was really, really hard.
What made you decide to say yes to the program?
What made me say yes was hearing Dave Asprey. I've been a longtime listener and reader of his books and all of the groundbreaking work he's done in neuroscience. I had a moment where I knew this would benefit me, even if it wasn't leaps and bounds; it was worth my time, money, energy, and dedication.
Did you have any objections or hesitations before attending?
The main one is that my family and people in my life don't stay in touch with the biohacking world, so this neuroscience feels very Sci-Fi or 'hoaxy' to them. My objections were that there are a lot of people who don't know the whys behind why this works, and those negative voices can get really loud.
What did you appreciate most about the program?
Every single staff member is willing to walk with you through the process, and every question I asked was answered well above my expectations. I also appreciated the two types of neurofeedback: the cap for executive functioning and the pod work, which was much deeper and more intense than I thought sitting in a little egg-shaped room could be.
What shifts did you experience in your mental state and relationships?
What shifted most was my relationship to my younger self. I didn't realize how much hurt I was holding on to and how I let it determine decisions from a reactive standpoint based on what happened 20 years ago. Now there is grace knowing you're not always responsible for poor decisions you've made.
What are you most excited about moving forward?
I am most excited about having more bandwidth in life and more mental energy to share with others. I get to be free in the present moment and really absorb what's going on around me instead of trying not to pay attention to the track in the back of my head saying I don't belong or no one loves me.

Is 40 Years of Zen a legitimate science-based program or a hoax?

Savannah describes the staff as amazing and willing to walk participants through every step of the process. She also highlighted that the food is incredible and the surrounding area is fantastic, creating a supportive environment for deep personal work.

Yes, Savannah found that the 'pod work' helped her address hurt she was holding onto from 20 years ago. This process allowed her to stop making reactive decisions based on past events and silenced the negative internal tracks in her head.
