What Participants Say

Each person who goes to the isa Experience discovers and learns things in relation to his or her own particular life. We have found it is useful for people to hear what individual participants have to say about the Experience and the effect it has had on their lives. We’ve asked graduates of the Experience to share some of the value they’ve received by writing a short statement for this section of our web site. These are below.

We’ll be updating this page regularly, so please check back!


"The isa Experience has been the most significant influence in the way I've created my life over the past ten years. It has empowered me to create the life of my dreams. The lessons I learn stay with me and allow me to harness the creative, responsible and loving side of my personality. I now know there are no limits to what I can achieve and the beauty I can experience in life."

Rick, Commercial Director, Bollington, Cheshire, UK

"isa finally gave me clarity about all the things that I had studied about self development and finally gave me a way of putting it into action."

Athil, Yoga Instructor, Sydney, Australia

"The results I create in my life are a result of taking the information from the Experience and applying it to my struggle to stay conscious and aware of the world around me. My life is many times more satisfying than it was before I attended the Experience, and it is through the support of the isa community that I "get it". As I work on myself I have to remind myself of this often, and it is the struggle that lets me know I am doing something."

Bill, IS Consultant, Nashville, Tennessee, USA

"I realize I was driving through life, feeling OK, in third gear. Now I have found fourth gear - and it's great! My life is working faster, better, more clearly. I also know that fifth gear is out there and waiting for me to achieve it, so my life will be magnificent! And, to top it all, I even have some idea of where I am going!

Penny, Business Development Manager, Oxfordshire, UK

"From carrying the shackles of unwanted baggage, to owning my own future. From blaming my predicaments on others to taking responsibility for ALL my actions. From procrastination to pro-activism. From existing to living. All of the above and much more, breaking down my preconceptions of others, I'm doing things now instead of tomorrow. The list goes on... Just do it and you'll get it!"

Joe, Personal Trainer, Sydney, Australia

"I learned to make choices with a full 100%, not just 98% or so. That means that I can do the things I want to do: stop smoking, lose weight, start my own company, etc. I'm sure I'm really going to do things I choose to do."

Birgitta, Webbproducer, Stockholm, Sweden

"Wow! My first experience, I loved it. Never felt so free to be myself and life became so colourful and wonderful. Now I'm in love with my partner, family, friends, life and myself. I now know what willing means, I feel that everything is possible to a willing heart! and it is. It's priceless. Only after 4 days in the experience, I felt as if I had a great holiday for a whole year at a beautiful place with clean water and fresh air. Came back with so many wonderful friends instead of all the baggage I had been carrying all my life. It's great and works on everyone."

Kaz, Accountant, Sydney, Australia

"The most crucial thing I learned in the Experience was to see the masks I hid behind which were causing me to be dishonest with myself. Isa taught me to become the observer in my life, which gave me the ability to change my behavior. I fell in love with humanity in my first Experience and gained the ability to really see who people are

Judy, Administrative Asst./Shiatsu/Reiki Therapist Pennsylvania, USA

"The isa Experience has provided a firm and loving instructional foundation for my freedom."

Adriana, Student, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

"In the six months since I did the isa Experience for the first time, I have changed more things in my life than I have in the previous 15 Years. The funny thing is the things I'm doing now I've wanted to do for that long, and it was isa gave me the key to finally unlock my true potential and allow me to do those things."

Noel, Engineer, Sydney, Australia

"I felt a new world open up to me --new possibilities that never seemed real before, such as moving to the mountains. And, more importantly being comfortable just being myself."

Patsy, Engineer, Denver, Colorado, USA

"Before isa, I was lazy, always looking for the easy way out and wondering why I was generally unhappy with my life. The Experience broke this degenerating cycle. Through the gifts that we're all blessed with, I now fully understand that how I feel, and the perimeter of my comfort zone, is determined by me alone. The excuses stop here, and the real learning begins."

Boon, Communications Manager, Sydney, Australia

"I used to sit silent as the grave at business meetings. Now I participate and have fun. I used to see myself as a frozen, unemotional macho-man. After isa I´ve become a loving and caring husband to my wife."

Petrus, Stockholm, Sweden

"Before I did my first isa Experience, my life had not been as I wanted. The experience gave me the opportunity to realize that I am in control of my life and that I can choose and create whatever I want. It really works and I wouldn't be where I am today without it."

Stuart, Barristers' Clerk, Sydney, Australia

"isa brought me back in touch with my true, good self and reminded me to cut out the nonsense. I was able to introduce my daughter to the isa concepts through the Young Person’s Experience and the children of isa graduates I have come to know and love."

Heidi, Assistant Director of Nursing, New York, USA

"Before doing the isa Experience my expectancy was that one day I would get married, find a career and be relatively happy. Yet I knew there was something more to be had. After doing the Experience I feel awake to the wide range of possibilities I have as a human being. I am in charge of my life and in tune with its true radiance. Because the truth is it is radiant and exciting, whether I choose to tune in or not."

Ben, Student, Leeds, UK

"The isa Experience, in one weekend has transformed my life dramatically. It has given me the strength and courage to change what had not been working in my life, and allowed me to develop in ways I had always wanted, yet was afraid to. isa has shown me that change is not to be feared, I now embrace it. I have also, through the Experience, made new and lasting friendships with inspirational people."

Ann, Community Nurse, Sydney, Australia

"The most significant benefit I got from my first isa Experience was that I let go of a lot of ‘baggage’ from my past. I took the opportunity to clean up things that I had been carrying around with me for years, and learned that I can take charge and be responsible for everything in my life, instead of being at the effect of it."

Brian, Computer Programmer, Greater Manchester, UK

"Since attending the isa Experience, I have noticed my life is much more on purpose and I am manifesting the kind of life I have always wanted. I have much more acceptance of myself and others instead of subjecting myself to self-criticism which used to be a habit of mine. I feel much more empowered to create what I want in my life."

Dianne, Legal Secretary, Sydney, Australia

"The isa experience: I didn't know what it was. I didn't think I could do it. I thought I didn't need to do it. I'm so glad I was wrong. Now I know what I was scared of, I'm no longer scared."

Andy, Entrepreneur, Penzance, UK

"Since doing the isa course in July 2001, my life has changed in a positive direction. I have become more focused and aware of my self talk. I tend to make less excuses and I am finding that I am achieving more goals than I have ever done previously, from the purchase of a new business to a new apartment to a new relationship. It has worked wonders in my life and I am so glad that I did the course when I did it. If I was aware of this course earlier I would have done it sooner. Everyone needs to DO IT, it works wonders. Thanks again isa."

Ben, Accountant, Sydney, Australia

"The greatest value I've received from the isa Experience is that I am the one who is completely in charge of my life and what happens to me is a result of my choices. So liberating!"

Joe, Architect, Denver, Colorado, USA

"In the isa Experience, I saw for the first time in my life what was really important to me and it also gave me the tools to get me where I want to go faster than I ever thought possible. I have stopped procrastinating and waiting for the future to happen to me, now I'm the one creating my life."

Johan, Internet Security Specialist, Sydney, Australia & Stockholm, Sweden

"isa has given me the active and vigorous pursuit of my dreams. Even though I may be afraid, have my doubts or sometimes feel unsure, I just keep plugging along doing the next right thing to be done and the next thing and the next thing. The result is that each day my life becomes more and more magical, my dreams are becoming my reality.....and it feels great!"

Lisa, Vice President, Nashville, Tennessee, USA

"The isa experience has quite literally transformed my life since I did the seminar eight years ago. I have changed from a person who lacked self-esteem and confidence to someone who is creating the life I want with a sense of purpose, zest, enthusiasm and inner confidence. I continue to use isa as a mental gym in which to practice and learn, allowing me to go out into my life and use the information in a very practical way.

Meash, Company Director, Manchester, England

"I did the isa Experience for the first time in 1995. I remember on Sunday night I felt like this huge weight (that I had been unaware was even there) was lifted off of me. I felt so much lighter. Since then I have come to understand that I am the source of my life, and I create what I want it to look like. My business is flourishing, I have moved into the house I've always wanted, and my relationships with my family and friends are at a much deeper level since I am coming from a place of understanding myself. I recommend the Experience to everyone I know!"

Debbie, Graphic Designer and Illustrator,  Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA
