"Being a participant in the "Come Alive" program was the first and best step I have ever taken to discovering myself. I am so grateful to the Haven for offering the tools such as the Communication Model to apply to my everyday living and enhance my relationships with everyone around me. I also appreciated the healing process I experienced and the importance in the power of breathing. The Haven is an amazing place and has changed my life immensely. I look forward to returning ! Thank you."

"How do you thank a place that has given you permission to be fully human; to experience the moment, to have body awareness, and to feel the power of human connection?"
August 2008
"I sincerely want to thank everyone who supported me in my endeavour to Come Alive, and encouraged me to take a deep breath from my belly; recall that life is not going to start sometime in the future: the moment is now, to relax, breathe, look around me and be alive."

"The leaders were so incredibly gifted in their ability to allow each of us to get to the depths of our own personal experience and enable us to move out of the sadness and into a really wonderful place…"

"I think what you offered is pretty well mastered...I am a very critical consumer of information...but this course left me unable to criticize it, based on the sheer enormity of the growth I experienced in 5 short days."

"I love what I see when I look in the mirror! I enjoyed the freedom I felt…. You helped me see myself, as truly myself. Thank you"

"Its helped me understand who I am and how I have been living my life. The course has taught me to live again."

"I am now open to friends and the 'universe' so a formerly lonely existence is [now] full of people; previous fears no longer seem to exist and I am able to laugh…"
February 2008
"The teachings of the Come Alive live up to their name; I intend to make use of my new tools in every part of my life. I have spent most of my adult life transcending pain. Getting in touch with it, getting in touch with me and learning to express myself with the communication tools can only benefit me along this journey. In an ideal world these teachings would be introduced in primary levels of school and taught throughout the lifetime. Perhaps we will get there"
September 2007
"The course has opened me up to giving and receiving feedback (with ownership) with greater integrity, compassion and a healthy dose of humour. I was able to look at my patterns and gain some practical tools to help look at what works and what does not work in my life in my intrapersonal relations/interactions/communications with others."

"[Come Alive] has changed my life....I am very grateful for the experience - words cannot
express it enough."

"[Come Alive] surpassed my expectations."
August 2007
"The biggest thing about the course for me was learning more about myself and how my thinking affects the way I live my life. I learned to give myself permission to make changes that I needed to make for myself. I greatly enjoyed and appreciated the connections made with other people. I found the communication models very useful and continue to work on using them both at home and at work."
August 2007
"Good reminders to breathe and to enjoy every day of this precious life we have. Being more aware of others and their needs and enhanced communication skills when I do run into difficult areas with people is always useful.
July 2007
"I would do it again and plan on carrying on with Staying Alive in Nanaimo starting in September"
July 2007
"What I liked best was the opportunity to find and explore myself. I have learned so much in such a little time that I am still speechless about the entire experience. I know this for sure...it was the best steps that I could have taken at that point in my life. I needed positive change in my life and I found it at The Haven."
July 2007
"I would like to thank everyone at The Haven for their kindness and making my stay very welcoming. I'd like thank the leaders, all the staff and all the people that were in the group and how this experience has helped me to move on with my life. I will be sharing this experience with all my family and friends and it gives me goose bumps every time I talk about this course. Thank to you all!
The course itself was excellent as were both leaders."
June 2007
"There was a lot to take in. I liked the intensity along with the support as in a safe warm bed and meals offered and quiet places to retreat to. I liked the style of the leaders and the Haven approach. The somatic inclusion to counselling is important I think. The best thing was how I felt after the course. I can see why people keep returning."
