Being a part of the Sangha for me has been a journey into pure happiness, feeling more and more how nothing is missing in my life, feeling full and empty at the same time. By practicing daily meditation and being exposed to my ego patterns I have faced how much I am obsessed about myself most of the time, and therefore realized how much I actually want to be in relationship and this has brought me to experience love in a totally different level, not only towards everything and everyone around me and life itself, but also to know I AM that love.

I've been given a gift for Life. That's what being part of this Sangha and the Awakened Life Project feels like. Every moment of my life I get to open a gift, and the exhilarating feeling, enthusiasm and warmth of being loved, of opening gift after gift permeates my daily existence and all I want is to give back gifts and Love. The mysterious part of it is that it keeps getting better. The intimacy of sharing these teachings and intention of being truly free human beings, through the guidance of Cynthia and Pete, is becoming ever more palpable. It transforms us individually and the collective is brought down to its knees in awe and devotion to this mystery that continues to transform this Sangha and Awakened Life project towards true intimate relationships bathing in unconditional Love. Embracing this mystery and being in Love with the ground where everything arises, my 9 to 5 job, my role as a mother, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a stranger, pulls in me the responsibility to walk my talk and share far and wide our potential as human beings to tap into and go beyond our beliefs and conditionings setting free our authentic expressions. What else is there to do other than embark full heartedly in this journey?

7 months ago I attended a 10-day ALP retreat and was blown away by what I was learning and seeing develop amongst us. I'd never experienced so much transformation, trust and love in a group that mostly didn't know each other. To my surprise, I ended up joining the Sangha and have continued to discover deeper levels of freedom and joy with the support of others in this community. Learning and growing together is thrilling and continues to surprise me! As a successful, 44 year old man in a loving marriage who's traveled the world -- I thought I more-or-less understood what life was about. Joining the Awakened Life Project men's collective has helped me to see that there is so much more! I've learned to confront my immaturity with the help of my brothers and step into responsibility as a force of love and courage in this world. I'm finding more and more that what we are learning here together provides a living, thriving path where before there was fear, stagnation and avoidance of life. It's been so beautiful and yet, we're just getting started!
