Testimonials

Peter Fenner, Ph.D., Author of Radiant Mind: “Adam is a first rate nondual coach who delivers the essence of nondual awareness in an uncompromising form. He is wholeheartedly committed to creating new possibilities for his clients that are grounded in awareness and practical at the same time. I highly recommend him.”

Pamela Wilson, Nondual Teacher: “ Adam is a great messenger of truth.  He has a very unique transmission that does wonderful things for my spirit – spa treatment.”

Ionsul, “Playing In The Dark” Retreat Participant, Asheville, NC: “In the last 3 days, I’ve integrated aspects of my shadow that I’ve longed to address FOR YEARS and never had the right opportunity before this specific container. This experience gave me the safety, community, and expert guidance that I needed for the profound transformation I was seeking. This was profoundly life changing for me and far, far exceeded my expectations.”

Gary Antonick, “Playing In The Dark” workshop participant, Oakland, CA: “Using erotic pleasure as a kind of MDMA to help face and heal trauma is just mind-blowing to me. It opens up so much. I’m so grateful for the wealth of experience that showed up for me in the workshop. It feels good to be a newbie surrounded by such compassion.”

Gayane, “Awareness, Love, Desire” Retreat Participant, Sofia, Bulgaria: “I have fallen in love with myself, the others and reality. I am tasting total acceptance and unconditional love. I am learning to allow myself to accept love and to allow myself to express it without hiding and the restrictions of shame.”

Ram Massoudi, “Playing In The Dark” Workshop Participant, San Francisco Bay Area, CA: “Deeply grateful for the powerful weekend! And it was so much fun. I even saw myself in a different light, and opened a new path to my inner work. The biggest bonus, the spiritual depth in relationship with my beautiful partner expanded into another dimension. Thank you Adam for your masterful facilitation, beautiful holding of the container, amazing presence, teachings, and holding.”

Christian Edmonds, “Playing In The Dark” Retreat Participant, Kentucky: “This retreat was so wonderfully transformational. I’m now able to heal in real time. I am able to now own my influence and power over myself and others willing to flow with me. If you are thinking about diving in – go for it! No questions, feelings, or anything that could come up will be left unaddressed. The feeling of being seen, transformed, and ultimately loved is so worth facing the fear for.”

John Piper, Retreat Participant, Portland, OR: “I’ve been seeking since I was 18 and now I’m over 80. I’ve been of lots of retreats but I’ve never experienced anything like this. This is the love I’ve been looking for my whole life. I now see it’s all love.”

Jane Tompkins, Professor, Duke University (retired): “The experience with Adam is heart opening, soul deepening, mind expanding, and delightful. It’s not just, or even mainly, words. It’s the thing itself. What I was waiting for.”

Maria, Midwife, Bulgaria: “From Adam’s coaching I received the special gift of being seen, valued, and loved. It was as if my very existence was validated. Now I finally know what it means to be accepted, loved, and desired exactly as I am. I am convinced that I am loved and deserve it! I am in awe of the work Adam does with such ease, dedication, and responsibility”

Asa, New York City, NY: “Adam meets me each week – no matter what state I’m in – with consistent love, care, and acceptance. He embraces parts of me that I’ve kept in the darkness. I’ve noticed that as these hidden parts get more light and exposure (a chance to express themselves), some real magic starts to happen… I feel more free, powerful, and playful. I feel like I’m coming to life. I’m finally living the life I’ve always wanted.”

Joanie Higgs, Spiritual Teacher, BC, Canada: “Adam’s teaching is completely different – with few or no words he exudes this incredible vibe that takes you way down deep into that wordless, expanded, no-mind, want-to-stay-here-forever state of being. I’m feeling its effects in my daily life. The power of working in a small group with a teacher of this caliber can’t be underestimated. The Falling Open course is an extraordinary opportunity.”

Tony, Retreat Participant, Seattle, WA: “This weekend retreat has been life changing. It opened new vistas of experience. I felt a deep and unconditional love that I’d only heard about before. Some part of me that had always been trying to manage my motor and linguistic action has suddenly relaxed. This has left me with more energy and a deeper sense of aliveness.”

Spencer St. Clair, Satsang Organizer, Seattle, WA:  “Adam has become one of my favorites over the past couple of years. Words of wisdom are wonderful to hear.  But far more meaningful are the times when there is simply an experience of being held, and of feeling safe enough to meet what has always seemed unapproachable.”

John, Victoria, BC: “I am so grateful for the deep and rich unfolding (both mine and the group’s) that happened as the Falling Open course progressed.  Adam creates such a nurturing space that this happens so naturally and with such ease.”

Becky, Seattle, WA:  “I highly recommend the Falling Open course.  The well-designed structure gave me a playground for exploration.  Adam’s consistent love and acceptance created a strong and gentle foundation for opening.  Blockages were loosened and judgments were softened.  The connections made with other participants were heart-filled treasures, with far more intimacy than I’d expected.”

Karsten, Victoria, BC:  “Falling Open came alive with the sincerity, honesty, and willingness to take one more step into the unknown, where our egos cannot guide us, and instead only our trust and longing guide.  Strands of love were woven between us as we sat at our computer screens.  We laughed, cried, were silent; we listened, took risks, and opened.  We connected in our hearts, allowing each other to fall open.  Adam held such a very open space for us all to unfold.” 

Joel, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, AZ: “The Falling Open course has helped me be more present with myself, more accepting of myself, and far more comfortable with whatever comes my way. I feel more alive in a deeper way more often.”

Lilia, Event Participant, Sofia, Bulgaria: “As Adam was responding to my question, I noticed that I was ‘listening’ to the feeling of his presence more than the actual words. Then Adam gazed at me for some time without saying a word. I could really feel so much love from his presence. I almost started crying. It was such a healing experience.”

Sean, University Administrator, IL: “The Falling Open course has transformed my experience of life by challenging and breaking down the counterproductive habits of mind and faulty ideas that cause my “suffering.” The regularity and depth of the course sessions and exposure to the experiences of my classmates have helped to extricate me from many mental and spiritual ruts.”

Kelley, M.A., Professor & Certified Labyrinth Facilitator, IL: “Realizing that most of the issues I have are constructions, created by me, has been truly liberating. I am now more focused on engaging my projects and much less impeded by internal dialogue about success, failure, and obstacles. Adam’s nondual coaching has enabled me to act from a place of stillness and clarity, which has enriched all that I do.”

Robert, Composer, Germany: ”During a tumultuous time in my life I had slowly begun to convince myself that I had only anxiety and suffering ahead of me. As my thoughts began to alarm me I would call Adam, and through the course of our conversation begin to ‘see through,’ and even laugh at, the thoughts and ideas that were distracting me from the relaxed simplicity of life itself. In our nondual dialogues together, I received not just wisdom, but understanding, humor, empathy, guidance, and love. Ultimately I value his words and presence not only for their spiritual import, but as survival tools, and consider them a sanctuary full of clarity and peace.”
