John David has a huge heart and shares a boundless love in a deeply intuitive passionate and profoundly supportive way. I have been so deeply nurtured and nourished by your devotion to the truth of being as you are. I am beginning to realise that this time has been very healing and ways that I would not have imagined that were possible. People in the community around him have clearly unlocked their brilliance and it shines forth.

The atmosphere of the community invited me to open up and experience completely new, lively, and fresh ways of connecting with others. John David, in a very simple and human way, met the structures and obstacles we encountered — always fresh, present, and remarkably clear. This gave me a deep sense of trust within myself. What stood out was that there was no separation between the team and the participants. The team was incredibly supportive, approachable, and open, making it easy to contribute and get involved in daily tasks. A truly enriching and transformative experience!

I loved the retreat. John David is very heartful, humorous, wise and engaged, provocating in a supportive way. I really enjoyed the high energy level, the inspiring program, the beautiful location and the interesting and diverse people.

The special ambience and energy in the retreat allowed me to recognize the paradise in myself. I love John David`s ability to pick people up where they are and bring them to silence. He clearly is a deeply caring and loving human being.

Being with John David feels like coming home, through clear and powerful presence, I found a deeper connection to life.. I had deep insights and the power, joy and openness of the community helped me a lot to open up.

I have a lot of respect for John David. His presence and energy were a mixture of sweet-humoured and approachable and other times stern. I appreciate his dedication to learn and teach and share. The community around him shares a beautiful energy and it was lovely to be included.

I got to know John David in his special depth, honesty, generosity, seriousness and lightness. Deep gratitude for what is happening in me and all the things he could show me.
