Comment: I looked shame in the face as I spoke my truth.

And shame said, "well, if you're going to break confidentiality with me, I'm leaving."

And it left. We're not friends anymore. And it's ok. I found trust, friendship and love instead. They're better friends anyway.

Thank you for the opportunity to share in a safe place, Sujith.

Love and light.

Comment: Dear Sujith,

I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful weekend! I learnt a lot. Very insightful. It also stirred up quite a few emotions. I have been dancing a lot - tonight, the beautiful sunset was my partner...

Love,

Comment: I have connected with someone from my school days and this relationship is so different from any other I have had. It is authentic and open and we are very close and I trust him. This freedom to be me is wonderful.

I want to give credit to all the things I learned from you, regarding life and especially relationships. I really feel that it has made an enormous difference and I rejoice that I have been given a last opportunity to have such a fulfilling relationship.

Comment: Sujith:
I just wanted to express my appreciation for tonight's discussion. I have been struggling the past 2 months mainly because I was not accepting my situation. Instead of accepting my situation, I was resentful of it and was not willing to learn the lessons offered.
Tonight's discussion really helped me change my perception. It was what I really needed to hear.
Thank you,
Mark

Comment: Voglio rigraziarti ancora una volta. Grazie a te sono andato oltre i miei limiti e continuerò a farlo. Voglio dare il mio aiuto a persone che hanno avuto un esperienza come la mia. Non te lo sto dicendo perché tu mi dica bravo. Te lo sto dicendo perché è grazie a te se ora so chi sono e quale è la mia missione. Tu sei un esempio per il mondo ed io parlerò a chiunque di te, affinché altri uomini possano arrivare a te ed osservare la meravigliosa anima che sei. Grazie.

A presto maestro.

Comment: I didn`t know what to expect, I came to Bologna without knowing what I was doing.
It was a new and strong experience for different reasons.
First of all I understood that I have to check my priorities in life, they are not priorities, they are just mental paths that I oblige myself to keep on following.
I also had a confirmation of a big blockage inside me, that is also making my relationship suffer a lot. But probably it`s only because a time for a change has come. I truly realized hom much I live closed in my little world and that`s why the testimonials of all the others touched me so deeply, so much that I felt pain. I really appreciated the honesty in sharing the pain of each one. I felt so insignificant... and thankful for all of this.
Sujith has the great gift of listening and of giving space to each one, to make everyone comfortable, and it`s such a gift having had the chance to meet him.
A day didn`t go buy in which I didn`t thought about those 3 days, everything that we said and that we claimed. It`s really helping me in my everyday life, because now I know that a different world exists. My path is still really long.
For now I am sending you all my gratitude, and I hope to be there in
January: I will make everything to be there. I send you a big hug. You are two special people. Thanks for everything.

Non sapendo cosa aspettarmi, sono venuta a Bologna, quasi allo scuro di tutto. Per me e' stata una nuova e forte esperienza per vari motivi. Prima di tutto ho capito che devo riguardare tutte le mie "priorita'", che poi priorita' non sono, ma solo percorsi mentali che mi ostino a seguire anche perche' forzata a farlo. Ho avuto conferma di un grosso blocco dentro di me, che fa si che anche la mia relazione ne sta risentendo molto. Pero'
evidentemente, e' solo perché probabilmente e' arrivato il momento di attuare un cambiamento. Mi sono veramente resa conto, di quanto viva forse troppo chiusa nel mio piccolo mondo, ed e' per questo che le testimonianze degli altri mi hanno toccato così profondamente, da starci davvero male.
Ho apprezzato l'onesta' nel condividere anche le sofferenze profonde. Così mi sono sentita davvero insignificante...ma grata di tutto cio'. Sujith ha il grande dono dell'ascolto e del dare spazio a tutti, e mettere le persone a proprio agio, che non posso che considerare un dono il fatto di averlo conosciuto. Non e' passato un giorno che io non abbia ripensato a quei tre giorni, e tutto quello che ci siamo detti e prefissati, mi e' di grande aiuto nella vita di tutti i giorni, perché ora so che esiste un Modo diverso! Ma di strada ne ho davvero tanta da fare. Per ora vi giunga tutta la mia gratitudine, e spero di esserci a gennaio: faro' il possibile. Vi mando un grosso abbraccio. Siete due persone speciali.
Grazie di tutto.

Comment: Caro Sujith,

Sono io che ringrazio te di essere entrato nella mia vita per aiutarmi ad illuminarla.

Per me il 2014 è stato un bellissimo anno, ricco di soddisfazioni e traguardi. Sento continuamente che la mia vita sta cambiando in meglio, e di questo tu sei un artefice importante.

Comment: Dear Sujith,

I simply want to thank you for the opportunity given to us: deep insight into a new consciousness. To discover that there is another way in every sense, it has been for me a great gift. It is helpful and gives me the strength to face difficulties and everyday life. Now I know that if I want I can be different, even if it's a long way. I just started. Thank you very much for you kind support.

Filippo C

Comment: Caro Sujith,

per me è stato un onore essere testimone di un grande maestro, sei riuscito a smuovere tanto in me. Sono consapevole di dover lavorare ancora tanto, ma devo molto a un gran maestro e fratello che mi hai indicato la via in un momento tra i più brutti della mia vita. Ringrazio il 2014 per la tua conoscenza un abbraccio Filippo.


Dear Sujith,

It has been an honor for me to be the witness of a great teacher, you succeed in moving so much inside me. I am aware that I still need to work a lot, but I owe so much to a great teacher and brother that showed me the path in one of the worst moments in my life. I am thankful to 2014 because I’ve met you. A hug Filippo

Comment: This weekend was the single most inspiring weekend of my life so far. The insights I have gotten from all of you together have taken my awareness to a higher level, I thank you all for that.

Trace H, Business Director, CANADA

Comment: When I consider the impact that Sujith's men's pilgrimage has had on me and my ability to hold space for myself and my team, the word that comes to mind is--Pivotal.

Working with Sujith on the areas of personal mastery and mature masculinity at first glance seemed disconnected from my role as a corporate leader to me. After working through substantial work, processes, and practices I have seen a deep connection between these areas of my life.

My ability to lead from my inner world by being aware and present has been greatly supported by working with Sujith. The ripple affect on my team is that they too now have been able to tap into deeper resourcefulness, inspiration, and deeper levels of service--professionally and personally.

As we know outer leadership starts with inner leadership first. The work that I have been privileged to be a part of with Sujith has helped me to lead from the inside out-- with my customers, my employees, my vendors, and with my daughters.

I am deeply grateful for my experiences with Sujith.

Jan-Willem R

Comment: Thank you Sujith for sharing and giving yourself to us; because that is what you do and i can follow your example in that.

I experience a lot of spacing right now on the inside of me: love, warmth, mildness, understanding, manhood, strength

Thank you again, it was powerfull!

Comment: thank you, for me it was beautiful experience. holding space and having proces in the sacred space is one of the most important events of life. it is great that you spread your knowledge on such a transparant way

Comment: Grazie fratello Sujith Ravindran, anche se x me sei un maestro.
Mi hai insegnato tanto e ti sarò grato x tutta la vita. Un buon maestro, ti dice dove guardare ma nn cosa vedere. Così hai fatto con me. Grazie di cuore. Amen

Thanks brother Sujith Ravindran, although for me you are a master.
You taught me so much and I will be grateful x life. A good teacher, tells you where to look but what to see. So did with me. Heartfelt thanks. Amen

Comment: Dear Sujith, The past year has been full of changes and learning. I hope that 2014 be another year of growth and personal improvement and also for the people close to me. It 'been a pleasure and an honor to have met you, I have learned a lot from your teachings and I often think that you were very brave (in italian "coraggioso" from the Latin cor habeo coraticum or adjective derived from the compound word cor, cordis heart and the verb habere have: I heart) to make the choice that has allowed you to take the path that you're facing. Let me wish you the best year.


A hug.

Comment: Dear Sujith,

Thank you for your lessons in 2013, it opened my mind, so 2014 must be the best year ever :-)

I miss your meditation, i hope to see it soon on your site.

I'am blessed knowing you.

With love Anita

Comment: Dear Sujith, thank you for your wishes!

I always try to increase awareness in my life and I will accept every things that the next year will send me, certainly more courageous and confident in myself after our lucky meetings. So, I have to say to you : "thank you for being in my life"!!!

I hope that you will give us your wisdom and your intelligence again for many years and I wish that the new year will send you love and plenty!

Comment: Thank you for being my friend, and my brother.

Thank you for igniting the spark of wisdom in my heart, I am now truly happy, and nobody can stop me.

I am a blessed and lucky man, already on the top of the mountain.

G Belardetti

Comment: For me it has been a memorable and unique experience, the greatest of my life.

I met Sujith, a person, in my opinion so rare even if I met so many in my life. He is always ready and available for everyone, there is no time, there is no fatigue, he will always make himself available to help others. The pilgrimage of seven days that I've spent with him...you can only imagine the beauty of a walk with him and the other guys just met at the beginning of the pilgrimage, that, suddenly as a miracle they have transformed and became all like him.

It’s an experience that I suggest to anyone, a path with strangers that become friends……Unforgettable!

I will never stop thanking you…. Thank you Sujith and see you soon.

K Bugter

Comment: "Which man would go on a fun trip with only men?" I thought. Now I know that this trip is not for fun. This pilgrimage is a wonderful investment in yourself.

I got to know the difference between fun and happiness during this pilgrimage. I recognized the beautiful nature as part of myself.

Sujith Ravindran is a master at holding a sacred space where you - together with other men - can easily and sincerely look in the mirror. Every step of the pilgrimage is worth it. The bond that I've built up with the other pilgrims is eternal, and now I cannot imagine why I ever hesitated to go. A pilgrimage is like a treasure that you discover. You realize: I am a free man, I am like a treasure. You too?

Sujith, thank you for who you are. You walk your talk.

Chantal Welling - info@ohmprana.nl

Comment: Yesterday I was in Heerlen
Today I am starting showing gratitude. Thank you for sharing your energy and your positivism. After years of studying en teaching spirituality, I know feel that I am just in the beginning and I have to be everything I teach. Not knowing, not feeling, but being. Thank you very much.
From heart tot heart, Chantal

Comment: Late 2012 I was convinced by one of my daughters to join a 3 day retreat called “Mastery in Masculinity”.

Yes, it took some convincing for I saw myself as a no-nonsense, down to earth , hard working manager with little or no time left to spend on something I couldn’t put my finger on.

“Mastery in Masculinity” ??? …would someone dare to imply I’m not a real man…what could this be about…what is meant exactly… or maybe it’s just the next BS course ?



Since I have a sound sense of curiosity I decided to participate…with an open mind…which is not as easy as it sounds for most of us are judgmental. Mea Culpa !



Being no different than the next guy, I also carry around ,suppressed, issues from my past.

Of course most of them are very latent present in the subconscious and don’t influence you during your day to day business / social activities…or so you like to believe !



To me at least this specific retreat came as a sort of revelation of my inner being, providing me insight on how I became the person I am / used to be / still am up to a certain point.

I gained an understanding of how events from my early childhood influence very much my decision making process ,the way I react , the kind of people I relate to ,or more plainly, what makes me tick !



So, if you are the kind of person that wants to grow mentally and become aware of why and how things happen , understand how to determine your real goals in life and how to deal with past and future events in a mature way…this is your opportunity…trust me…the output will be many times more rewarding than your input:-)

Comment: ho visto per la prima volta il simposio della consapevolezza e te. magnifico. conosco i chakras tramite il reiki ma non conoscevo i mantra, solo come unioni di consonanti fatte a yoga. è stato bellissimo. oggi è il mio compleanno, mi hai fatto un magnifico regalo di gioia-luce-serenità . hai gli occhi che sorridono di gioia e un sorriso di amore fantastico. vorrei assomigliarti. grazie a te e camilla. baci

Erik D

Comment: Until I joined the Mastery in Masculinity retreat, I had believed that my destiny was to work a dull job until retirement and live my life arguing with my wife and daughters. The retreat made me aware of the silliness of my current life, and how I had turned myself into a teenage friend to my teenage daughters! Before the retreat, I was never aware that I can be an inspirational father figure in the lives of my daughters and the purposeful strong oak in the life of my wife. I discovered that I have a great mission in my life and that my life does not end with my death.

Coming out of the retreat I feel like I am the lion of my jungle, being the loving servant of my grand mission and my family!

Thank you Sujith.....I will rejoin again when you are back in Europe.

Tony

Comment: Wonderful opportunity for growthful exchange and gaining a deeper understanding of how a brotherhood can help develop the mature masculine and actually apply it to real-life situations and challenges and come out smiling! All held together beautifully by Sujith's lovely energy, spiritual experience, anecdotes and big smile! Thanks again.

Yamina

Comment: Thank you Sujith & all the participants for a very interesting evening, full of insights.

Comment: Sujith is amazing and heart-centred being. Even though the talk lasted for only a couple of hours, he managed to give everyone some profound insights into their feminine and masculine aspects.

Koen Bugter

Comment: Sujith walks his talk. I can recommend him to everybody who is in search of who they are. Thank you Sujith.

Comment: I want to say thank Sujith, because in two days that we spent together at
the pathfinder retreat you helped me to remember WHO I AM, you helped me
to find my DHARMA and above all you reminded me how easy it is to
reconnect with my true essence... thanks for being as you are, thank you
for your interest, your attention, your care, your listening free from
judgment... thank you for being my friend.

Gabriele B

Comment: I would like to share with u my happiness and peace. :) Today i've received a
beautiful news that i was waiting for a long time. I feel in peace and our discussion solved a lot of doubts about my sexuality and masculinity. And
than there is the kid inside me that now is laughing again: everytime i think
about myself snoring during the meditation i start to laugh like a fool!!
Thanks from the deepest of my heart to you for helping me in my searching. Full of love.

Comment: Inner child experiences

I live my inner child
by following my heart

so life is a party
and by synchronising
other inner childs
hearing, seeing and feeling
like synesthesia
it is like touching
other inner childs
and saying:
“remember….
you’re from love,
as I am”

that’s great
marvellous
and makes us smile.

Comment: I often think about your helping words: that I should start to enjoy my way and spiritual awaking!
And be sure that I started to enjoy :-) there are times where there is much fear and I think it is hard work.........but I think it is a process and I notice more and more that
there come times where I can enjoy!

I wanted to inform you about my processes that you know how much worth your work is!

Comment: Sujith, I can only repeat what I know to be true; A restless body reflects an agitated mind. And agitation permeates the environment. So you see what I am gifting to those around me?
I am with you to bring this awareness to those around us.....

Affectionately, Mike

Comment: Stepping off the workshop I felt this lightness, this simplicity that comes from freeing myself from my own labels of 'naive' and 'childish'.....

This whole morning I have been humming this tune;

I am going to continue humming this tune until I have become 'it', or until someone forcefully asks me to stop.....ta ra ra ra..:-)

Cathy Q

Comment: Purely at a human level - as a woman - I love the idea that to experience who I really am, I have to experience who I am not. So, to know loneliness is to appreciate companionship, to know that I am caring, I must have experienced neglect etc. Thus the very existence of polarity provides me with this opportunity to experience and to choose who I wish to become. This helps me appreciate those experiences that I may have previously labeled as 'bad', as invitations to know what is 'good', i.e. an invitation to become the highest version of myself that I can be...

This journey is my grateful gift to you!

Fred

Comment: Sujith, the last time we sat together, I was stuck by the realization that I want to live humility, the humility that already exists within me.......and as I use my gift of 'intellect' to 'discriminate' what is, here is something that appeared;

"Existence has not been able to create anything higher than your mind. Its function is so complex that it baffles the greatest scientists. It manages your whole body, and it is such a complex system. Who manages that a certain part of your blood should go to the brain..."

Keep well my friend!

Sjors

Comment: Like Buddha said: there is no path to happiness. Happiness is the path. After a burn-out, I learned to be inspired by my own passion and being. New, endless possibilies appeared in my scope of sight. And by focussing on myself, I learned to live for other people. Thanks man!

Kees

Comment: Like strange silhouettes at dawn gradually revealing their true form at the first break of day. Just so are questions of the mind often heralds of a deeper understanding. Although not yet distinguishable, they contain in their deepest reflection all elements of the answer, which will reveal itself when the time is right.

In the centre of my beeing I can find all the answers.
You showed me the pad how to stay there and feel and be aware.

Shekhar Banerjee

Comment: I think whatever is going on in this world is okay, while there is always room for improvement. Hence we have the choice to exert us to the extent possible for betterment with no attachment to the final result, whether good or bad. Of course better results encourage us , but a failure should definitely serve as a pillar of success only.

Victor

Comment: Being a relatively introspective person myself, I've always been amazed at your level of wisdom and your ability to inspire deep philosophical thought in others. It is furthermore encouraging to know that you practice what you preach. I'll always remember the ski trip years ago in which you were determined to learn how to snow board. Starting from scratch on day one until ultimately making it to the most difficult slopes, you somehow managed to have a smile on your face through the whole painstaking process. I can't think of a person better equiped to help and guide others.

Tess

Comment: so happy to see the positive input from KW and GR in your work, also BK and cant wait till December

Jasper Groot Koerkamp

Comment: With contract negotiation being a major part of my previous job, an important objective was to find out what made the other party tick. When my responsibilities changed and moving back to NL, I started figuring out what made ME tick. And I looked for a job to match with that. Still negotiating - and a lot more. Though only for a short time now, it seems to fit great.
Finding happiness in what you do makes you do things better - and it makes you happy.

Comment: Sujith, Thank you for doing the work you are here to do and serving those who are ready to live their most Authentic Life.

Comment: I still remember the story of the Stone Cutter that you shared when you were in Oxford last! I found a similar story that I have stuck to my refrigerator. I felt you would love it; Two monks were washing their bowls in the river when they noticed a scorpion that was drowning. One monk immediately scooped it up and set it upon the bank. In the process he was stung. He went back to washing his bowl and again the scorpion fell in. The monk saved the scorpion and was again stung. The other monk asked him, "Friend, why do you continue to save the scorpion when you know it's nature is to sting?" "Because," the monk replied, "to save it is my nature."
