Feedback from Ron’s Master Class and training in August 2008
Here are some of the messages we got back from participants in Ron’s Master Class and Level 2 training in August 2008…
Ron: I totally loved this experience being in your presence, humor and wisdom
and in the presence of all these amazing people. It was so much more (complete)
than a supervision week. I loved that we were able to learn, experience,
and practice, work our process, and to continue to hone our edge, in loving
presence. I would love to participate again if I could get myself here. Totally
nourishing, rich incredibly valuable!! Thank you for making yourself so available
even during the breaks. And again Ron, thank you for the passion.
love and blessings -Roland
The level of skill present at this Master class supported me to more deeply embody the method. Thank you. From Angela
Working in this very high-caliber group has been my richest Hakomi learning
experience to date. Within the context of the strongest loving experience
I have known, it has been a particular joy to do deep work as both client
and practitioner.
I highly recommend the Hakomi master class to anyone wanting to make
a big advance in their Hakomi skills. This class offers a safe container
within which to take your skills to a much higher level.
Robert
What I have most appreciated about the Master class was being part of a group that has come together to create an international Hakomi community. I have enjoyed finding the commonality of experience among students from different trainings with a similar level of Hakomi skills.
Thanks for having me! - Marcia
The emphasis on great peer supervision / supervising assisting is extremely
useful intertwined with Ron’s teaching, comments and love. Brief: It’s been
Ron at his best with best possible peer group.

I experienced a meeting of hearts and minds collaborating to deepen their personal understanding.
The caliber of experience, gentleness, willingness to be vulnerable, attentiveness of the members of this group, was beyond expectations. When doing exercises in groups of 3,4,5, or 6, everyone had something of value to contribute. So unusual to have such ability and loving kindness together in this workshop.
I just returned from 3 weeks with Ron Kurtz in Ashland, OR and wanted to
share with you my excitement. The training was called the Art of Hakomi
or level 2 and greatly expanded my knowledge and experience. I enjoyed
being with Ron and hearing first hand his current thinking about the method. I
recommend this experience for anyone wanting to expand his/her practice and
understanding of Hakomi.

Quote from Philip M. Bronberg
I now can thank you properly and I want you to know how appreciative I feel that you recognized the common ground we share. I enjoyed reading you essays for the content but also because you are a really wonderful writer. I'm sure you have been told this before, but I want to add my gratitude to that of others who have benefited from your uncanny ability to communicate directly to the reader's mind/soul/body in a way that makes an impossibly difficult topic digestible without stress and without having to read each line twice. I imagine that those who take your classes and seminars feel this profoundly and with equal gratitude.
What was your best gift to me was something that came as a surprise. You found a way to break down the process of your approach to psychotherapy into components that can be studied and practiced, which is something I have always found myself turning a deaf-ear to when anyone else attempted it because I never believed that studying the parts would allow a transcendent wholeness to emerge. It was amazing to me how differently I felt when I read your "Notes on the Work as Science." I went back over it to see if I could see what you did that made it happen but I don't know if I got an answer. The closest I could come was that everything you write (even writing about the Work as science) seems to embody what you wrote earlier in the same essay: "We learn to find inspiration and love within the process of helping others, so that we too are restored and nourished. Over and over again, we are nourished by a source that does not fail. These experiences remind us: this stuff works! It feels right and good and it works!" Even in your training someone to attend to the parts you create wholeness through the unifying connection between self and other. So as a reader I too felt "nourished by a source that does not fail."
