For me The Gift was a place to be heard, validated, loved, cherished and to be given space to find true meaning in my life. I feel it was a place to heal my heart and to support healing and truth about myself.

In this task filled, pressured life, The Gift is a place of safety where I can be my “true self” and see others the same way. Shematrix is an organisation that has supported me in continuing to explore the deeper parts of myself and my life.

At my first Gift in 2003 I learned that there really was a “place for me to be” and there was no turning back. I wanted to learn how to hold space for women in the amazingly supportive way that I experienced.

The best event I have ever attended, thank you very much.

I didn’t want anyone to know how dead I was inside. Since The Grail, I can tell you that I have never felt more alive, more whole, more balanced in my entire life.”

There aren’t many opportunities for men to reveal their truth. To come out from the facade we hide behind each day and say, this is who I really am and not worry about being judged. The Grail is so safe an environment, that vulnerability is natural, is courageous, is welcomed.

I have already uncovered so much more of myself and I have so many more tools. Why would I not want to keep playing with all these great women?

Shematrix is home. It is where I can rely on hearing the truth, and celebrate honesty and depth. It is where I can discover more of myself.

The ongoing support is amazing; I feel safe to show up just as I am, and being held in this way I am constantly growing and evolving, always deepening my connection to myself and in turn my capacity to hold others in compassion becomes stronger all the time.

“I describe The Gift as one of the most powerful transformational weekends out there. Also, the best money I have ever spent, I invested in myself!!!”
