“My experience with Know Thyself had a deep, long lasting impact on my life. It’s not easy to quantify with words what I experienced, but I can say that for the first time in my life I deeply felt my own soul, and a sense of unity came over me. I felt I connected with my essence. I received deep healing and a new life and will be forever grateful for this experience”.

“My first experience with the Know Thyself retreats was in 2010 and over the last 14 years i have attended four Know Thyself retreats.On my most recent visit I took my daughter and niece to experience the transformative power of the ceremonies. I have no hesitation in recommending Know Thyself retreats and the infrastructure that Paul has created there”.
