Hi Harry,

I completed the International Avatar course a few days ago and will be attending the Masters course in a couple of weeks. The last day of the course, as I worked with the Persistent Mass exercise, I felt "prickles" of energy moving all over my face and my head, but I didn't realize the full significance until I later went outside for some "feel-its" time and discovered that now my entire body, including my head, was feeling -- and feeling in a way SO alive. It felt like I was alive for the first time ever, and I realized only part of me has been present and feeling all of these years; another whole part has been held back. The holding back of my head had been showing up in other exercises but I didn't get the awareness until the release in the Persistent Mass exercise.

I could write volumes on my experiences each day in the course, but suffice it to say, I experienced huge changes/shifts every single one of the 9 days.

Thank you for Avatar and what I have been bumping along trying to achieve on my own for 35 years! And for anyone thinking they might be too old for Avatar, I am 70 and am just beginning to live!

Many blessings,

Kia-ora Harry,

I just started on my Mini-Course. It is indescribable. I feel I've come home. I already know what my passion and purpose is for being here. I've always pictured the bigger picture. I can't wait to meet you and your wife Avra. Love,

Dear Harry,

I have had the privilege of being part of a team supporting a student during the International Avatar Course. She has had a most challenging upbringing where violence and abuse were more normal than not.

She has courageously worked through mini-courses with such heart and willingness. She is so filled with inspiration for this work and being part of a team creating an EPC. In her goals this morning she shared that she was" born to do this". It has been a humbling experience for me to feel such huge intention in someone and to feel it grow and grow in strength and resolve.

This student has carried a Compassion Card close to her heart for over a year now and uses it often. She feels this compassion not only for herself but also very much for her family and friends.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to share the gift of Avatar with her. Thank you Harry. I also thank her for her inspiration and courage. Much love, Harry, for your vision and commitment to this mission and to us all.
