"In my experience The Work doesn’t leave anything out. Since applying The Work on a daily basis, how I relate with every aspect of my life and every person in my life has radically changed. All of my relationships, interactions, thoughts, feelings, events - anything my attention goes to - with The Work becomes a gift, a kiss, a kindness, a receiving that leaves me grateful and open to Life.

The Work is continually opening me to more life enhancing and inclusive ways of dealing with “what is”. It helps me take responsibility, to see clearly my part in what unfolds day to day - freeing me of the role of victim. It enables me to acknowledge, “I did that, that happened, these are the results” and frees me to begin now.

The Work has been a tremendous gift in helping me to identify past hurts and the thoughts that are the real cause of these hurts; which in my experience until they are met with understanding, continue to run and complicate my life. It has become automatic now to notice when there is not space within myself for what is and to begin to search for the story I am telling that would move me to oppose what is (hopeless) rather than working with what is. Over and over again The Work is showing me that the worst that can happen in life will bring me my freedom through the next thing to work on".

For Tom's Website

Using exercises, sacred poetry, music, movement and group dynamics woven together to support us in honouring, seeing clearly, and stepping out of old paradigms that no longer serve us in loving Life as it unfolds.

Through The Work as meditation we can begin to bring everything within ourselves, heaven and hell, dark and light, into the "light" of conscious awareness and finally begin to meet it all with love and understanding.
