Testimonials

Went to Pennie's talk "Why is this happening to me again?". I found it a very interesting talk. It opened my eyes on many aspects of our thinking and life. I would love to hear Pennie talk again. Thankyou very much Pennie!

I have also seen the spitfire of divine no nonsense and the way you can blast through ego bullshit and story telling and help people individuate from their conditioning and past trauma. I am amazed and in awe of you. Thank-you for answering the call I put out to meet a good teacher. My heart felt gratitude always.
