“It’s hard to have imagined how transformative a course would be prior to taking it, but now having just completed the Immersion course, I honestly say I experience more openess, clarity, ease, and insight in my daily life as a result of this course. This course is a gift in helping me see myself more clearly and taking responsibility for all aspects of my life.” A friend, US
“The course was a wonderful foundation. It heightened awareness of myself and my interactions with others. Each week was sensitively put together. The evenings were valuable and in the group I felt relaxed so as to allow the sharing, listening and being to infuse.” Anna, UK
“I loved the course! The questions that Veronika and Ryan asked got me to look deeper than I’ve ever looked into what I’m feeling in the moment. Not just my story about it but what’s actually going on in my body. The feedback was not confronting but very enlightening. I saw that my anger with my sister was more than just a story. It was a feeling in my body that I wanted to avoid. Distinguishing that feeling as just a feeling got me back in relationship with my sister.” Linda, US
“During class I experienced feeling an aliveness and excitement that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I see that it’s possible to feel a deeper connection to myself and to others by simply being honest in each moment. I can only imagine the potential of living this way every day. Thank you Veronika and Flaven for holding a safe space for us to explore our vulnerability and freedom to share.” A friend, US
“My day to day life and personal circumstances have barely changed at all since I first attended the courses and Sharing group but I feel that I am an occupant of a different world. In some instances it is only a suble difference but I am learning that such subtleties is enough. Where once my glass was broken, had holes and was very emply, it is now still broken and still has holes but is (perhaps miraculously) full and almost overflowing!
I am learning to welcome silence. I am learning to stop running away from feelings of judgement, shame and unworthiness and I am learning to welcome the avalanche of pain that comes with standing still and facing the feelings to let whatever it is, be. The courses provided invaluable structure, unconditional support and an intimate environment to explore feelings, emotions and helped me build confidence in going places that my unconscious mind wants to avoid.
Less and less I want to look to others for wisdom and truth and more and more that I give myself the gift of a just a few moments of present awareness both in the group and courses and alone, I am able to see just a glimmer of a gem of inner knowledge and strength. And who knows what else is there? – I am looking forward to finding out.” Marta, UK
“Often times in our lives, when we seek to make changes which which we hope will enhance our overall well-being, we start with great expectations and enthusiasm, only to find that our efforts and the methods which we used did not lead us to the levels of change to which we aspired. For any who have had this experience, as for anyone seeking to make deep and lasting changes to their life, I would highly recommend Lucid-Living’s courses. The greatest, most effective, and lasting changes always begin deep within.” Savita, US
…about Sharing Group
“It is quite remarkable that distant ‘strangers’ can just connect so simply and openly.” Chris about Virtual Sharing Group
“Each time I go to the sharing group I see an opportunity to look at myself. Every time I dare to look at myself, the sharing group offers me the space and support to do only that. In the sharing group I do not feel like I have an agenda or results to achieve; yet, every time, something happens that allows me to see more clearly what I really am.” Liliana, UK
“I have been attending the group for over a year now. The context creates a loving and supportive arena in which to explore one’s own individual personal development whilst always being and feeling part of the whole. I am very grateful.” Simon, UK
“It was a beautiful experience last night. Thank you for providing such an amazing space. look forward to seeing you all again soon. I still have a smile on my face ;-)” Ben, UK
“I went to group last night again and had the most interesting time. What they do there is not entirely obvious at first glance. The core group presides over everything without really presiding at all. But there’s an energy to them, a solidity, which everyone feels. They use the classic technique of picking up on anything someone says about someone or something else by indicating that it resides within them. It feels like a terribly tricky sort of method until you realize that it is an invitation to be impeccable. To take complete responsibility for everything you are at every moment. They hold a very strong space and do not move. No one runs to the aid of someone else no matter how much pain they may be in. Last night I understood that. And it was the first time that I’d seen such a thing, to such an extent. They simply will not budge. Compassion yes, but no sympathy, no ‘help’ and thus no encouragement, no tolerance of, either, self pity, self-indulgence, or anything that might keep us from holding onto our limitations. And so it feels as if whilst they smile and talk they are really just holding a fire to your hands that slowly burns until you have no choice but to let them go. Then you realize the fire wasn’t really theirs, but yours.” Zachary, US
…about Lucid Living retreats
“I am happy and excited that another Sharing retreat is materialising for 2012! The experiences I had in past retreats often felt like glimpses into an advanced, happy future, where what we are experimenting with in a special setup, has become the norm. I’m up for this!” Rafael, Austria
“When the retreat ended I was feeling full of love and happiness. Something had shifted inside me energetically. The space created there allowed me to open up and feel vulnerable, but also safe. In that state you also touch truth inside yourself, which dissolves layers of beliefs and wrong ideas about life itself.” Liliana, UK
“I’m leaving with so much that I can’t wait to integrate into my life, and that feels really exciting. I feel really happy.” Mai, US
“When there is a real trust of the space things seem to happen. For me it’s a really interesting insight how life can just happen.” Alex, UK
“One of the most natural and fun processes I’ve done in my life.” Ben, UK
“Amazing. I’ve seen the power of it. There’ve been many moments where I felt shaky and vulnerable, and I’ve had some amazing insights. So I’m really excited now to go home and live and see what changes.” Sarai, UK
“It was really the best I could expect from our being together. I came from a place of… I would say almost resignation that this level of interaction was impossible, and moved into a very beautiful space of feeling connected.” Rafael, Austria
“I look forward to our Lucid Living retreat all year because it’s the most powerful space I’ve come across where I can be supported in being who I am, unconditionally and who I can become most profoundly. Not only am I supported, but I am supporting others to live their highest potential, most truthful self, most awakened possibilities. It’s loving, challenging, fun; the most real environment you can come across.” Ryan, UK
…about 1-to-1 sessions
“My session with Veronika gave me the space to focus on one area of my life where I was experiencing emotionl turmoil and confusion. It helped me go under the turmoil and connect to a deeper truth. I had the space to feel everything needed to feel and clear the story that was causing me pain.” Rachel, UK
“Veronika reminds me that I am okay just as I am in this moment and that I should keep following my own truth, rather than ideas I have absorbed from others. I find inspiration in that she has undergone lots of changes in her own life, taking risks to follow what feels most creative and nurturing despite inevitable obstacles and resistances. She notices the change in my voice when I switch into ‘rationalising’ why I do something and is always encouraging herself and myself to come back to what the heart is saying, rather than being dominated by the ‘logical’ and often frightened mind. Veronika is simply an intelligent, humble, healing presence. I highly recommend her to people who want a supportive space to get in touch with who they really are and what they really want.” Anna, UK
“Being that I live in the U.S., currently all of my interactions with Veronika have been over Skype. Even by way of this virtual connection, she has a genuine presence and an ability to hold a quality of space that allows me to feel safe and open. Through this sense of safety and openness, I am able to feel seen for who I am, however that my look. This experience of “lucid living” is like dropping an old, worn out mask that has been a part of me for so long I scarcely noticed its existence. Scarcely noticed that is, until I do let it drop and feel the freedom, the lightness, the tremendous sense of deep relief at being able to simply be who I really am in each moment. At times it moves me to tears, as in this moment now as I reflect on the experience and write these words. Veronika and her lucid living are a precious gift to our beleaguered world.” Peter, USA
…about our blog
“Being on your site makes the Internet feel kind of like a big humanitarian yoga project. This feeling that we are together, that there is someone out there willing to listen. I think this humanity-yoga will take place through websites like this – authentic, free of strategy. Unique expressions of timeless wisdom.” A Friend
“When I was at school I always enjoyed having ‘deep and meaningful’ conversations about the unanswered questions. But by and large, I found that most kids didn’t want to talk about the universe, love, or the meaning of life. Or whether our planet is just an atom inside a cell, deep within some other being’s little toe… What I love about this site, and the internet, is that if a young person, or anyone else, wants to learn or talk about these things, wherever they may be, they can find someone willing to listen to them and share their experiences with, so that they feel connected, and encouraged to ask big questions. This site feels like someone’s front room, or maybe an enlightened coffee shop or organic juice bar, where people can hang out any time, in a safe, fun and friendly space.” A friend
“I see this site as a genuine, welcoming and inclusive place, where people can tentatively seek and learn about big subjects without fear of being ridiculed, to seek out the stuff that boggles the mind and evaporates the trivialities of conscious thought. And to join in the conversation, if they wish, no matter what they ‘know’ or don’t know. It’s a beautiful example of how the internet is changing everything, and allowing the truth to grow as nature intends. I love the way the site is headed, it feels like what the internet is here for.” A friend, UK
“I love this website. It so touching to know that there are people everywhere that want to wake up and live life with totality. Nice!!” Savera, Belgium
“It is just a pleasure to read you guys, a true delight- keep on the good work :) I guess words fail to describe but the joy reads through everything you write.” Dada
