"There is absolutely no way to really describe all the remarkable experiences of those six days. It truly was intense, emotional, hilarious, intimate, fun, exciting and overwhelming all at the same time. For me one of the most wonderful parts was becoming part of a group of people that accepted, supported, listened, laughed and cried with me. Yes, and even breathed and meditated with me. We all arrived carrying different bags but we left singing the same tune, and manifested such respect and love for one and all.

It was like falling in love with 50 people all at the same time. Each one so different and yet we were all the same. It sounds rather impossible and perhaps that's why it was so special because for six days we were all able to experience a state of being with a group of human beings that most people only read about but never get to truly immerse themselves in.

I learned a tremendous lot about myself and how I interact with others. I learned that being vulnerable, being open and sharing with others takes tremendous courage. So I want to thank each and every one of the participants and the staff because each one took the necessary risks to create that tremendous group dynamic at the retreat.

If anyone out there is wondering about going on the next retreat, stop wondering and just do it. It just might change your life."

We, however, are never satisfied with the retreats, or with the Centerpointe program. We're constantly trying to think of ways to make both even more effective and more responsive to your needs, so more and more people can experience a life free from suffering, and full of happiness and peace. Many of you don't think this is possible, but we know it is, and we are committed to helping you get there.

If you attend this retreat:

• You'll experience a true quantum leap—taking everything to a new and higher level
• With the help of some of the most experienced "personal change coaches" in the world, you'll experience a profound shift in that one life issue you so much want to change
• You will get to meet other participants in the Centerpointe program some of whom will become lifelong friends
• You'll experience some of the most powerful deeper-level soundtracks we offer in the program, pushing you to new levels of personal growth, positive change, and deeper self-awareness
• And, you'll spend six restful, rejuvenating days at one of America's premier holistic spas...

"It's a whole experience. It's much more that what you can get from listening to Bill on tape."

—Sharon Phillips

"The biggest thing that I've learned at the retreat was the fact that I can easily catch some of my patterns that are not as resourceful as they could be, and shift and make changes in my life. I've been to many workshops and seminars and have learned lots, yet those processes didn't work as easily and weren't as much fun as what I've learned here."

—Pat Graham-Block

So here's some of what we've done to make the retreats even better: In 2001 Bill Harris introduced a series of articles on "9 Principles for Conscious Living" which has taken everything to a new level for many of the people in the program, particularly in terms of understanding how they may be creating suffering in their life, and how they can create happiness and inner peace instead. As a result we have dramatically changed the material presented at the retreats in order to incorporate these principles and make sure you leave the retreat not only understanding them, but also having a workable plan for incorporating them into your life.
