Kevin

Talking with Kevin at one point regarding the possibility of staying in Malta longer and his offer of support with this, I felt a huge weight lifted off me.

I appreciate him reaching out to chat and support me outside of the scheduled individual contact time.

Kevin’s insights, questions to consider, practical advice, and encouragement have been very helpful and he has continued to check in with me now the retreat has ended. I can tell he deeply cares about helping people.

I really appreciate his authenticity in sharing his background, eye gazing - for really seeing me and letting me see him, the thought provoking questions he asked (which I am still reflecting on), his ideas on philosophy/spirituality, book recommendation, ideas on accepting/agreeing with others projections, his soliciting supportive feedback for me from the group, and offering / running the post care programme. I appreciate his trying to carefully balance creating a supportive, healing, but also light and fun atmosphere, in sharing circles / ceremonies, even when people arrived late.

The past few days since leaving the retreat my nervous system has been very calm, at peace and hopeful, in a way that it has not been for a long time. I now have renewed hope that what I need to thrive in life is actually possible to achieve, thanks to Kevin’s guidance and the other retreat leaders, along with his offer of further support, I also now see the possibility of actually putting changes into practice.
