People who had already tried a great deal

After years of therapy

"For the first time in my life, I see that total healing is possible and that I now have the tools to make it happen."

"I've spent 2 decades doing the standard, accepted types of psychotherapy, even majoring in psychology at university to find relief from inner pain. The idea that I was a poor little victim was drilled into me over and over."

Anxiety & worthlessness

"They showed me a way to freedom from sadness, anxiety, and worthlessness to joy, peace and love. I am immensely grateful."

"How empowering is it to be told you have a choice, when it is said from an undeniable truth? With forgiveness as a key, they allowed me time to discover my true self. They guided me through meditation, yoga and numerous contacts with nature, coaching and group therapy."

Purpose & meaning

"This program created a knowing of purpose and a way of experiencing everyday life that brings the peace I have always wanted."

"The program far exceeded my expectations. I have done several other 'improve your life' programs but the effects didn't last because the change was not deep enough or fundamental enough."

G.J., 64 — Chicago · January 2025

Tried everything

"This workshop/program changed me forever, from inside and out. I won't be the same because I've seen the truth and I cannot pretend that I did not."

"Over many years I've tried hundreds of teachings, techniques and workshops trying to live a better and more peaceful life. None really worked. Thank you!"

Relationships & self-worth

"I am no longer acting out from my main issue — which was, yes was, feeling unloveable."

"I went to France with an open heart and mind. When it came time to do the steps with you I jumped at the chance. I opened the flood gates and let myself be vulnerable to your guidance. I knew there was a shift almost immediately."

Cece Cerletti — Participant, France 2024

Best investment

"It was the best investment of time and money I have made in myself in my six decades on the planet."

"I can truthfully say attending the Choose Again retreat transformed my view of myself and the world."

Addiction & recovery

"If true happiness has eluded you, and you believe no human power can help, there is a solution here."

"I have been in 12 step recovery for addiction for over 20 years. Although I have stayed sober, I have continued to struggle with depression. I have read dozens of books and studied several spiritual practices, but none of them presented me with what Choose Again did."

A single parent

"Trust in what is for you, willing to give and receive, and you will be given the gifts that were always yours. Your truth awaits, and you are worth it!"

"As a single, working parent, a stay at El Cielo seemed an impossible dream and with that single judgement my own barrier was put up. When I made the decision to get out of my own way at last, I opened up to love and possibility and everything fell into place."

S.V., 38 — British Columbia · January 2025

30 years of programs

"After 30 years of personal growth programs, this is the most satisfying training. I can't wait for more of this feeling in life."

"Thank you all staff, trainers. Thank you Diederik, this is truly an amazing change."
