It is important to note that we enroll participants on a first-come first-serve basis. Your place is not guaranteed until all your forms are complete and you are paid in full.

Accommodations
The Art of STAR
Creativity is essential to the STAR process. During the 10 days of STAR, participants continually explore new ways of expression: in their written work, group work, individual sessions and in their creative projects. For many STAR participants, the art room is central to their experience. Frequently, what cannot be captured in words can be conveyed powerfully through images. Within the safe space of the art room, participants explore aspects of their experience, both inner and outer, and evoke images of their past and desired future.

Testimonials
This has been the most amazing experience in my life. After 13 years of therapy, and feeling stuck in the same place, Star has brought me to a place where I can feel and see change. I have never really been truly excited about life until STAR. Now, I can’t wait to live and enjoy the happiness and life I deserve. I am not sure I would have ever felt this full of life without STAR. It scares me to think about how much more time I would have wasted living in that “black hole” not coming here. STAR ’s facilitators modeled what it’s like to be real and grounded in myself. They were always right there when I needed someone. That validation, someone listening, and genuine concern for my well-being was so appreciated beyond words. The facilitators and staff are what make Star so powerful.
Rather wonderful, but not, perhaps, in the way I expected. Less New Age and esoteric, and more grounded in psychological findings etc. Powerful—it’s a short cut to the root of the problem—like cutting through years of therapy to get straight to the core. And then, to show you exactly what to do to go out in the world and live a different life.
The 10 days were the most intense experience I ever had in therapy. I felt completely safe and succeeded to get in touch with very early traumatic incidents. I understand better my fatal patterns. I feel reconnected and free.
I came to STAR ready to heal and I was not disappointed. The Inner Child work gave me insights and power I never thought possible to express. For the first time in my life I can put words to my feelings. I will leave STAR knowing my truth, knowing how to express my truth and trusting my truth. I truly feel reborn. I now have my power back from habits that did not serve me well. With these new found tools I will replace a life that didn’t work to one that will bring me joy and happiness.
Life transforming. By far the best investment of time and money that I have ever made in my life. My life is 500% better than before I started. (Back then I didn’t even realize that it was so bad).
The most impactful and meaningful personal development experience since I began my healing journey 7 years ago at age 45. I feel I received a huge “bang for my buck” from this non-profit organization and its world-class workshop staff. I intend to return for another STAR experience.
