"I came in with no expectations. Mostly just fear of being in a group of men and knowing that I needed to explore boundries in regards to relationship.  I learned that there's a safety and wisdom within a group of men that I didn't know was possible, and there was connection and intimacy with people in a way that I couldn't have imagined.  As hard as I was trying to hide in the world, it was immediately reflected back how transparent that was to everyone else. So contrary to my own story, it was really showing through in my daily life, in the way I was coming across.  When I continually practiced to work through that, and spoke from a more authentic place, it was appreciated and there was no judgment about who I was underneath the hiding out.  I could own my own depth without constant worry of always getting things right."

"For me, what was most beneficial of the Cornerstones work was the reflections offered from the other men. To honestly be able to see myself through another man’s eyes was difficult, surprising, enlightening and extremely useful. It’s been said that it is hard to see the position you’re stuck on because your standing on it. This became very evident in the workshop and the thoughtful design of the processes brought me safely through to a place where I could adjust my beliefs about myself to the reality of my state of being. This gives my the best opportunity to adjust my thoughts and behavior to accommodate my goal...which is to be of the utmost service to others."

"Cornerstones is a vehicle to help awaken other human beings. And it's about being among people who are interested in waking up. I've been working on it my whole life, but I really got slammed by some of the responses I received about my anti-social behavior.  Because I had hidden out for so many years.  I was basically hid out, shut down and "don't tell anybody what you really think because if you do you're going to get burned somehow."  The biggest takeaway for me was that it can be safe in a group of men.  Men were interested in who I was and what I had to say, and that was huge for me.  I realized that there's a spiritual food that I get from having deep connected conversations with other human beings, that has to do with things most often beyond what the material reality is."

"I felt accepted for who I was, which included my fears and my resistance, and all of the things that keep me away from groups.  Ultimately they did not interfere with my benefiting from the experience and my establishing really precious moments of relatedness. And as I learned to more relax into "what happens happens," I began to accept that the present moment was what was happening, and that could change any minute. I could change it, or someone else could help change it, and I was okay with that."

"I wasn't able to perceive how I was engaging with the world, and the weekend gave me more ways of being able to feel into what's happening in the moment, as well as tools to have more perspective. Really awesome. Things I took away from the weekend: Being safe and vulnerable with men. Being able to use my body as a compass. Being able to sink into that container that we could create, and how much power that container had to allow each of us to unfold into some other possibility. And being able to see things outside of how we were caught up in them, and how easy it is to get lost in your own feedback cycles. It's basically not possible to see your way outside of them by yourself. You need that container to provide the safety in which to actually open up to the possibility that there is something else."
