CHI Seminar
Story from R.V. NSW
What a wonderful opportunity it was to take four glorious days in a beautiful, nurturing and safe environment to ask those important questions. Yep, I'm talking the biggies. Who am I! Where do I fit in? What is my purpose in life? How do I fulfil that purpose?... to name just a few. Yet, not just ASK those questions, but be guided by a creative, well designed and prepared program to receive ANSWERS. I felt privileged to be one of the participants in this truly exceptional seminar.
After attending CALM I wanted to explore further, and took the opportunity to attend CHI. It was nothing short of life changing, and I am now the person I pretended to be. I have a new sense of trust and confidence in myself, and the future. My energy level has dramatically increased as I live each day with a renewed vitality and sense of purpose.
Not only do I see the big picture clearly but now have a wonderful array of practical resources to prioritise, make decisions, and deal with everyday problems. These benefits have flowed through to my husband, children, family and friends. AMAZING!
The CHI seminar was absolutely worth the time and money. It was inexpensive compared to the benefits I received, especially when you consider it has been six months since I completed CHI. The glow has not dimmed, I have not forgotten or fallen back into old ways, but am going from strength to strength. I just look forward to CHI II.
CHI Seminar
Story from C.A. TAS
Thank you for putting so much positive energy into your CHI live-in seminar. Before participating in your seminar, I was going in all directions, not knowing where to start and which way to go. With your guidance I was able to work out "my life's purpose, now" and to set my goals for the next 5 years. You have shown me the right tools, how to achieve my goals, and I can assure you wonderful things are happening to me, and around me since then. It is very exciting, and I am so happy that I could learn all this. I can only highly recommend this wonderful experience. I am very confident now and focus easily on my directions. I have gained a higher understanding what life is all about. I am meditating every day and I am very conscious about my positive thoughts. Although we were all strangers, we got to know each other so well within that short period of time. We shared our deepest feelings, tears, laughter, had so much fun and it was bliss for everybody. The whole seminar was so well organised — well done Sandy!
CHI Seminar
Story from G.R and G.M. NSW
We have our goals up and are working on them. The week at the CHI Seminar was just so exciting and rewarding. We have a clearer vision of our future which makes everyday life so much more purposeful. Once again, many thanks for sharing so much with us.

Story from T.D. VIC
A true inspiration, I believe that what you teach has changed my life and my relationships all for the positive.
CHI Seminar
Story from F.D. NSW
Thank you Sandy; you did a good job. You helped me in particular but I could also see a change in everyone else. As usual your presentation was great as was the subject matter.
CHI Seminar
Story from R.S. TAS
I have found the CHI Seminar absolutely fabulous; energy building and profound. The days were well set out and the location spiritual and held in a completely non-judgmental way.
CHI Seminar
Story from W.B. SA
I received clarity, using the subconscious mind. The seminar flowed smoothly with one "topic" flowing on from the other. Each section built on the previous one. I thoroughly enjoyed it with much personal growth and the tools to continue to grow taken with me. Thank you.
CHI Seminar
Story from H.J. SA
It was a truly wonderful time for me and gave me insight into my immediate future. The venue was well catered for, but less food would be good ... too much temptation was put before me. The rooms were nice and clean. The group was fantastic, I could not imagine meeting a nicer lot of people. CHI course itself was an education; I believe it will help me for the next twelve months and hope to do it again in another 1 to 2 years.
CHI Seminar
Story from M.B. VIC
I liked the way all the material built up day by day to a final event. I liked that it was at a relaxed yet measured pace that enabled absorption of the journey and the Goal. Most importantly I had fun in developing my Life's Purpose. I believe it is important to take away material and I was delighted that each person was not only able to summarise their journey but also share their purpose and goals in a manner that could serve as a revision tool. Thanks.
CHI Seminar
Story from R.A. NSW
WOW! – what an eye opener; I got rid of hurt feelings. Gained the tools to start a new life; happy, healthy, successful!! Started on my goals; found inner peace; now I can put the past behind and get on with living. Loved the meditations and tapes; location; peaceful quiet, gardens; sharing; feeling of acceptance by everyone; uplifting of everyone's spirits. Thanks Sandy.
CHI Seminar
Story from B.M. TAS
Thank you for a worthwhile absorbing experience. The range and quality of activities was excellent; the learning I gained from you and from the other members will stay with me for the rest of my life. There was a good balance of activities between listening and doing; the exercises were well structured building in a logical sequence toward our ultimate aim, ie. the expression of our Life Purpose. All in all a well structured and worthwhile experience.
CHI Seminar
Story from M.S. Vic.
Thank you for helping me face my fears and being able to speak about it. To know I am OK! Your giving and loving brought the same out of a very special group of people and was such a moving experience for me. Wow! So many tools for clarifying and finding one's goals. It is so exciting to see everyone realise their goals. On the last few days so much laughter indicated the created happiness which existed. The honesty and trust were profound. Thank you.
CHI Seminar
Story from L.C. QLD
Thank you for the CHI Seminar; it was a wonderful meeting with such a diverse group of people, and watching them develop during the five days. I was extremely impressed with the professional way you ran the course; you have obviously put a lot of time, thought and practice into the preparation of the seminar. The progression of activities leading us through different ways of identifying our goals and Life's Purpose. Thank you again for sharing your experience and knowledge.
CHI Seminar
Story from C.A. NSW
This was my second time around. I have already put the next one into my next year's agenda. The power, purpose and practicality of the course ensures that no stone is unturned in charting your future goals and consequent happiness. As a wordsmith, the only word I could think of at the end of the last CHI Course was "Thank You". Unfortunately either my vocabulary has not improved or the English language has not expanded to the point for another all encompassing word. So Sandy, "Thank You".
Tools to manifest my life
Story from H.F. ACT.
Thank you Sandy. The
CHI Seminar has been a watershed for me. I know now that I have the responsibility and commitment to achieve all my goals. I have the tools to manifest my life, “I love to live”! You are an excellent teacher and I am very grateful to you for sharing your skills. Thanks again.
Goals
Story from D.S. Vic
The CHI Seminar provided an opportunity to focus on what’s important in my life now and for the next 5 years, in a supportive, friendly and non-judgemental environment. It has provided a structure within which to
set goals and accomplish them to achieve a balanced enjoyable life. It also provided an opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds and develop friendships.
Confidence
Story from E.A. WA
I was already focused before attending
CHI but without knowing exactly how to clarify what I wanted out of life, CHI has clarified several aspects of my life, given me direction and purpose. I am more motivated and
confident about achieving the things I want. It has given me an awareness of what is important to me and therefore helped me to prioritise those things. It has helped me realise that any obstacle I have in achieving my goals, is me. CHI has made me aware of the importance of setting
goals and of reviewing them. It has also introduced me to a wonderful group of people who are all interested in improving their lives and their sense of purpose and direction.
Exciting & Stimulating
Story from B.A. NZ
Thank you so much for the opportunity to attend the
CHI Seminar. I found the 5 days challenging, exciting, stimulating, spiritual and extremely rewarding.
One of the great benefits was the opportunity to take 5 days out of our busy world and focus totally on finding my
purpose in life and developing the
goals to reach my life purpose with people of a like mind.
Life changing
Story from D.B. Vic.
It is now over a year since I graduated from
CHI. Life has been steadily changing, or possibly rather my view of the world is changing, which I am sure is due to going to
Peaceful Place nearly every day for 30 – 60 minutes, which can occasionally lead to such a deep sense of peace, that I do not wish to return.
Thanks to you Sandy, I now have a tool kit upon which I can draw as I need, and apply within PP. Each month, and sometimes each week, often brings new insights, as my perspective lifts to higher planes.
I will always remember the time, when moving along my imaginary walkway, (stainless steel steps, with shiny hand rails) that I thought I would pass my fingers over the door pillars as I entered my PP. The new sense of being there, amazed me. Just one small change took me to an even deeper level of understanding, and confidence. Confidence that I could make a decision to test one small change, with such big impact.
That is the beauty of this journey we are on, it is OK to try, to test, and see what happens. For our PP, is “Our own” PP , we can make it anything we like, make adjustments as we wish, and sense what happens.
With more exploration, I have found from my early days of graduating from CHI, a tool that I tested on my flight home from Sydney – still a
sceptic I guess, I still had to prove to myself the power of what our mind can do.
Anyway, on the flight home, late Sunday evening, with no one either side of me, I went to my PP, and thought I would envisage white pigeons flying towards me, initially one, then two, and 3 etc , and as I did this, saying to myself: “I love to go deeper, and deeper, deeper and deeper”. To my amazement I arrived at my 6th pigeon and I suddenly realised my breathing was so shallow, so slow, that I was initially shocked, even scared that I could do this and achieve such a peaceful state, that my breathing had reduced to a level never experienced by me before.
So you guessed it, on the windows of my PP, I now have one pigeon on the first, two on the second , all the way to 5 on the 5th window sill. All are anchors for me going deeper and deeper.
Another change I found enormously helpful, and a nice way to remember the Special People that have been brought my way; as I walk step by step to my PP, going deeper, and deeper, every step of the way, I arrive at the door to my PP and I always remove my shoes/foot wear. I see people who throughout my life that have been Special people to me - generally limited to 3 – 4 on each occasion and I hug each of them.
Also sometimes I let my mind bring in whoever it chooses, and sometimes I purposefully allow in those whom I have perceived as having harmed me. I also hug them, and express my gratitude, for teaching me what I needed to learn at the time.
I find this process a nice way to daily experience
unconditional love, forgiveness and gratitude, as I am reminded of those Special People, including those whom I have perhaps almost forgotten, and some whom I have viewed with displeasure.
And affirmations too, I have tried these for many years in the hope that they would work, but could not feel any change within … until Sandy taught us the structure of the ideal affirmation. Must be personal, present tense, positive and have emotion (I hope I have them all Sandy).
Well, I am a jogger, and still sceptical of affirmations, but having experienced Sandy’s PP, I thought ‘Well let’s try this while jogging, and see what happens” (I can feel the shivers up my spine now as I write this …wow) …. Well , whilst jogging about 6 months ago, I thought I will try saying this, over and over, with each step. Here is what I said, and found after 15 minutes an emerging energy, not speed, not a rush, just an emerging change. A feeling that I could just now keep going, on and on.
This is all I said: “I love my increasing stamina every step of the way” …
I kept on with this, with faith, over and over, every step of the way; nearly entering a meditative state.
The lift in my energy was definitely noticeable, my jogging became easier, and easier.
I have certainly noticed changes in my life and the first one that comes to mind, for which I am most grateful, involves one of my teenage daughters (my wife and I have 4 children, including teenage triplets). Three years ago, we were in the midst of a nasty chain of events, such as the collapse of 4 businesses (25 years work) with over 400 staff, personal debts of over $18M , Managing Director committing suicide at 53, my brother suffering a massive stroke (and me becoming his carer), my sister dying of cancer, and many trusted relationships, all dying and fading away. My value system, and beliefs were tested to the core.
All these events I believe led me to not making the wisest of choices in handling my eldest daughter’s teenage years, and I felt our
relationship to be very strained, and even to a degree I would say, estranged . That weighed very heavily on my soul.
So PP to the rescue, over many months, each morning, at 5.30 am I would go to my PP, using the principles from Sandy’s CD on Unconditional Love, and the White-Light of the
Divine. I would watch this white light come towards me, like a liquid white light, in tubular shape, soft, transparent, and warm; coming from the very heart of the Divine, sitting to my right in my PP … a white-light of unconditional love, passing from my mind down my right arm, my left, then my abdomen, and legs, every cell, sinew, muscle and bone, all changing to a glowing white light. Sometimes warm, sometimes tingling, and always there. This I would then see travel down the hallway of our home to each of our 4 children, to their beds, to my wife, all turning white, from head to toe, and to my daughter from whom I was feeling estranged; she was always first; seeing her body engulfed by the warmth, and protection; head to toe, glowing, basking in the unconditional love of the Divine. I prayed for her care and protection.
I can now testify, over many months, my behaviour changed. The answers I got to the question of “What shall I do”, was … just love her, love her, love her. How shall I love her? Communicate with her, show her you care. Just communicate with her.
Well I can thankfully testify, our relationship is back on track, special, open, free of spirit and of good humour. I hear that little voice every so often ... communicate with her, love her. Extraordinary.
But why did this occur ? I am an engineer by qualification, and have no way of explaining this in any analytical way, but I do know, I have changed. My view of her, her world, my world, and other’s worlds – all changed. Changed for the better.
PP has helped me to move to a higher plane, a higher perspective, and to experience the fruits of the Divine’s Unconditional love, and unconditional forgiveness.
And you know … although I’m not the first to realise and say it … the more I know, the more I find I don’t know and the more I have to learn.
Thanks Sandy for teaching me the tools , and your patient , caring and loving teaching.
For you, your teachings, and your willingness to share, I will be forever grateful.
May the Divine continue to touch others through you, helping them to discover inner peace as their lives unfold as they should, for the highest good of all concerned.
Life Changing - Weight Release
Story from J.R. Vic.
As you know I attended your live-in
CHI seminar. I am just as dedicated to my goals now as I was on the last day of the seminar. I'm still meditating every day using your
Peaceful Place collection and have during that time, used the
weight release meditation and have lost 6 kgs. I also have used the meditations to change my habit of nail biting, and have now very long and strong nails which I'm very proud of. I have the ability now to get to my peaceful place and de-stress quickly, sometimes even meditating by just reciting your words in my head …no electricity or ipod required.
The skills you have shared with me have been absolutely life changing and I'm a calmer more confident person, striving toward my goals and setting more as I achieve, and also sharing what I have learnt with gusto and passion.
Thank you Sandy.
Meditation techniques
Story from P.S. Tas
Having recently participated in my second CHI seminar, I am reminded once again of the usefulness of its meditative and reflective methods for identifying one’s priorities and setting goals. The strategies presented for reinforcing and supporting one’s intentions to achieve these goals are practical and easily adopted. The processes used are respectful and empowering, and there is a balance between shared and independent learning and reflection. Attending for the second time after seven years, the CHI seminar provided the opportunity to more deeply explore life priorities, and once again I came away with effective meditative techniques and an enhanced sense of clarity and vision for the future.
Comfort Zone - moving out of
Story from M.F. NSW
I have moved out of my "comfort zone" of 17 years with a secure job (secure income/stressful lifestyle) to start my own business with wonderful challenges (control of my own destiny/enjoyable lifestyle) .... best move I ever made, and I couldn't have even contemplated this without the foundations being laid for me at the
CHI Seminar I attended. Thank you so much Sandy. It wasn't without dark clouds, thick walls and rock-bottoms - but I have come through the worst and am enjoying re-planning my Life's Plan. Your wisdom has truly been my guiding light! Fond thoughts are with you.

Meditation
Story from M.M. Vic
Firstly I would like to thank you for the brilliant CHI Workshop. I cannot believe the difference and what I achieved as a consequence of your guidance. I have purposely waited a few weeks to let you know, as I wanted to let life return to its normal patterns. I have finally been able to meditate re the not-so-good things I need to sort out. I guess up until now I have kept meditation as a nice visual and therefore rather superficial. Time is my biggest problem but am managing Peaceful Place and an hours meditation most days - am working on increasing that to more time.
The CDs are fantastic although very challenging. The biggest thing I need to work on is not to sabotage my goals and potential achievement levels as I almost achieve them. Believe me that is hard to control but am having some little successes.
My other problem - the one I spoke to you about - has been resolved with a lot of help from the power of positive visualisation - I'll keep working on that.
I can now see myself in a more positive light and have a much better picture about setting goals, as now I believe that I deserve them.
Thank you again and best wishes.

Life Purpose
Here is a great progress report from another CHI Participant who now takes 2 days off each week from his business, leading a much more balanced life, he has rejoined the golf club and is playing golf with his Dad once every two weeks.
Well it's been one month out from our CHI seminar in Sydney. I allowed a month to pass to enable the dust / emotions of the CHI experience to settle.
I can say that I am still as excited and as positive as when we left the Chevalier Centre on the Sunday afternoon.
What a wonderful five days of sharing, not only with you, but with ''the Group.'' Ten unique people in their own right, with different challenges but searching for a common goal … "Life’s Purpose Now.''
Prior to attending the CHI seminar I had only four days off in three and half months. Work seemed to dominate my time, I had become pretty grumpy, hated serving the public and had lost any real sense of enjoyment in my life. Sadly enough, I had no real goals or direction to extract myself from such a rut. Sometimes when you are in a rut you just don’t realise it, let alone being able to see out of it. I always remember an ol d quote " the only difference between a rut and a grave are the dimensions."
Didn't you change that ! I came away from the seminar with several goals which obviously are all reflected in my Life’s Purpose Now.
I must say that meditating and reinforcing my goals in Alpha daily makes the day flow with relative ease. My goals seem to look after themselves when firmly planted in the subconscious.
On your advice I ordered Michael Newton’s book " Journey of Souls,"; second paragraph on page 68 is very relevant to our CHI experience, it states "the superconscious identity of the soul houses our continuous memory, including goals. When the time in our lives is appropriate, we must harmonize human material needs with our soul's purpose for being here."
The timing of the CHI seminar was certainly appropriate for me. I now feel that I can move forward in life with clarity of purpose in a very positive manner. The mind change has been so refreshing and exciting.
As you are aware, I had lunch with Sandra a fortnight ago. Her description of post CHI says it all, words to the effect " you feel light, as if you are two feet off the ground, a sense of a great weight having been lifted from your shoulders."
Sandy, words can’t really express my appreciation to you for your guidance and support. A simple thank you seems so feeble. Please my feeble "Thank You" with gratitude, love and of course the light. WP Vic
Achieving Goals
Here is another great sharing from a participant who is talking about the second CHI that she has attended.
Since attending CHI in Sydney (2006), many of my identified goals have been achieved, in particular the most pressing ones - time to write and 'just be'. Having had a very hectic, albeit wonderfully satisfying and rewarding, career for many years, I decided, as a result of the goal clarity achieved through CHI and using PP for support, to apply for a year's unpaid leave as a way of finding time to write and 'just be'.
The very same day, I was unexpectedly offered and accepted a year long, very flexible, part-time consultancy that gave me both an income and time to write and 'just be'. This was to prove fortuitous as later that year unforeseen family events occurred. Achieving the goals I identified through the CHI process meant I was now in a position to spend quality time with and support my family, whilst still enjoying time to write and 'just be'.
So thanks again Sandy for supporting me through the CHI process - an inspiring and empowering group proce ss that safely facilitates deep reflection and decision making, whilst enabling each individual to determine the degree of participation. PS Tas
Clarification
I was already focused before attending CHI but without knowing exactly how to clarify what I wanted out of life, CHI has clarified several aspects of my life, given me direction and purpose. I am more motivated and confident about achieving the things I want. It has given me an awareness of what is important to me and therefore helped me to prioritise those things. It has helped me realise that any obstacle I have in achieving my goals, is me. CHI has made me aware of the importance of setting goals and of reviewing them. It has also introduced me to a wonderful group of people who are all interested in improving their lives and their sense of purpose and direction. Annette E, WA.
creativity
As an artist, I found the seminar very good for creativity and peace of mind. I also like the company of other people, especially knowing that I’m not alone, and I enjoy working with Sandy.
Although I was in a lot of pain during the CHI Seminar, it helped me to make the big decision to have a major operation very soon after I got home. I went through the operation with very little pain which is marvellous!
Since then, I’ve completed ten paintings, even though all I can do is push myself out to the studio in my wheelchair - my creativity has really improved, and my paintings are different - there is more of a soul-like quality in them. I really feel I’ve made a step forward and I’m no longer frustrated like I was - in spite of the wheelchair I’ve made big leaps!
It’s truly wonderful to have this powerful inspiration for my work, and I give myself a big pat on the back! R.J. NSW
Dealing with trying times
I have been going back through my notes from CHI; although I haven't as yet begun to write; my meditations and my PP have helped me through some trying times. My time at CHI has indeed been of benefit to me and given me a clearer insight to where my journey is going to take me, in the future. I have finally paid off my c/cards; bank has re-negotiated my loan, which is all of greater comfort to me financially; I am now looking at taking my next step into workplace training for a while, until I iron out the wrinkles with my life's purpose of healing B.C. Vic
new attitude and more positive way
I am happy to be settled back home in Tas again and pleased to be back at work after my year of adventuring. Many people have expressed amazement at how energised, healthy and happy I am now. It is almost 3 months since I returned to Australia already and my new attitude and more positive way of living has not worn off at all, unlike the benefits of most people's holidays. So many friends and colleagues are commenting on how great I look - younger even! And even better I feel fabulous.
So what was different about my experience? I don't believe it was just the travelling and time away from my usual stuff. I feel like I think differently now and that I have made some positive changes that will last a life time. The most significant catalyst of this is the skills I learned at 'Creating Happiness Intentionally' in Bali. Thank you Sandy L.J. Tas
I am no longer the harassed mother
Since completing Sandy’s Seminar, I have made a ‘career move’. I am no longer the harassed mother at the supermarket, come on you’ve all seen me! I am now the assertive, positive listener, creating a happy environment. My new career has taken on a new dimension, I am the 'Supermum' I want to be, not the one society expects me to be. I am responding to my inner needs and expectations not society’s – mine are realistic goals set by me – I can only succeed,
Primarily, we teach by our actions, not words; by using the relaxation methods I am enrichening my life and my children’s. I have come to realise how powerful positive parenting can be. My goal was so high it wasn’t immediately evident. I didn’t even think I had one, but it was sitting there waiting for me to grow into it. With the help of Sandy’s Seminar I have made my first step towards that goal by helping my children be at peace with themselves and each other. Imagine if we could create a generation, a world, to become at peace with themselves and each other, (which we are all capable of) – now that’s an incredibly powerful thought.
My latest emotion of joy was locked into my subconscious when my 3 year old son said: ‘Mummy, I like you!’ I felt a great peace spread through me; suddenly I knew I already had what I was looking for and with a new-found positive approach I could really start to enjoy it. J.T NSW
completely honest with myself.
I received a perception of life that I didn’t have before, ie. Where I’ve been, am at present and will be in the future.
I’m grateful that for the first time I can be completely honest with myself.
I never realized I could form a relationship with a group of people of different ages, cultures and professional status so close within such a short period of time. Thanks Sandy.
P.S. I will recommend it to my friends by word of mouth. P.A. NSW
unstructured and directionless
I entered the CHI Seminar as a middle aged, unstructured and directionless man. The concept of Goal Setting, personal self love, ability to make a difference, being responsible and taking charge of my life was totally foreign as a result of decades of habitual self loathing.
I am on my way. Thank you Sandy and best wishes for your own journey. L.S. NSW
find my own destiny
Sandy you have been an inspiration to so many and have gifted every one of us with your amazing insights.
I cannot express my gratitude enough, for all I have learnt and adapted into my life. I started on my own journey to find my own destiny, the day I took the plunge and signed up for your 7 day Bali Chi. It opened my eyes and turned my thought process upside down!
I walked away believing anything was possible, my goals & choices were mine.
I found the bounce in my step again and my smile returned.
I came to a second Chi 2 years later after some major changes in my life.
I needed the time to focus on my needs and thoughts, away from the hustle and bustle of life.
I returned to my life more balanced and relaxed. I had the strength and tools to better cope with the roller coaster that life can sometimes throw at us.
This year, another 2 years on, I was thinking that it was time for a third Chi... And then I read...
This could be the last Chi...
Unfortunately this time it is not meant to be for me...
The timing coincides with my recovery time for my up coming, long awaited surgery. (Another of my goals to be completed)
Sandy, I have booked you in for a few days.... I have your CD's and will have a refresher during my recovery time!
Please do keep me updated if you do run another Chi, in any location.
Thank you. S.M. WA
personal survival
Your workshops have made a difference in so many people's lives over the years, starting with the way your life and story have evolved with you at the helm. The inspiration to others comes from the way you have responded to some of the major things in your life: some things that don't happen to most people.
Sandy my awe of the way you have approached your personal survival and maintenance is huge. You have clearly made it your mission to survive in so many ways and in so many contexts: from your career in the military and the theatre of war; supporting your son through an horrific incident to the exquisitely hideous time since the deaths of your daughters. And so many other random bits of 'life' that have appeared in between no doubt.
There are so many modes of survival and yet the means you have chosen and developed have not only sustained you but have inspired you to share them with others in the hope that your fellow man may also survive in a really good way.
Thank you so much for being the Sandy MacGregor whom you are and for sharing your story, discoveries and survival means with anyone who is interested.
Again, thank you so much for your wonderful work and your generosity of spirit with sharing with others what you have learned and found so sustaining. S.H. Tas

“re-invent” myself
I returned to the CHI Seminar to: confirm and explore goals I need to achieve in the next 5 years and look back on my goals of 5 years ago.
I have been able to find much more clarity and determination of purpose.
But beyond the “goal” quest I have met new friends and spent a peaceful and thoroughly enjoyable 5 days.
I have an unspoken goal of not leaving it another 5 years before I “re-invent” myself once again.
Thank you so much Sandy for your help and guidance. BC, WA.
you are still there
Thank you for the wonderful time I spent at the Chi seminar. I had a wonderful time and it was very beneficial to me in setting up the ‘year to come’. I’m so glad you have decided to continue on with your teaching, it is so beneficial to so many people to know you are still there and not relaxing back in retirement. I believe it is also very important work for the benefit of the community at large. BC, WA.
