  • I am grateful for this wonderful summit.Fascinating, enriching, thank you all, Magda-teacher from Poland

  • Deep gratitude to everyone involved with this profound and empowering summit. The speakers’ compassion and wisdom radiated around the world – literally! An especially important personal gift was that I shared insights and up-to-date neuroscience with my brother whose entire life has been distorted by early childhood trauma and prolonged physical abuse. He finally acknowledged that PTSD was at the root of his lifelong alcohol addiction and started reading “The Body Keeps the Score” the day following the closing keynote talk. I nearly wept with relief and gratitude. Thank you so very much!

  • It feels that no words can express my deep hearted thanks and appreciation to all the team that organized this outstanding summit, to the lecturers and interviewers. This was an amazing, enriching and inspiring experience!!! I feel I learnt so much from you all! May you all keep spreading your enormous light, knowledge, love, kindness and compassion all over this planet.
