I cannot say enough about how much Daybreak Seminars changed my life. It is run by a group of loving, dedicated people who have seen the transformations of themselves and the people around them because of this program. It is comprised of a very intense 3-day workshop(over a weekend) and then a 5-day workshop 2 – 3 weeks later. Daybreak allowed me to be honest with myself for the first time in my life. To stop hiding behind distractions(like drugs, alcohol, shopping, TV etc) and be present in my own life. It taught me to take responsibility for my own circumstances and own my shortcomings so I could become the person I was always meant to be: someone I was proud of, who could love unabashedly with her whole heart and forgive herself and others quickly and without reservation. It is a very scary thing to face the world without the armor of pretense but it is such an empowering place to be when you stand in total honesty and learn to accept who you are and embrace who you were always meant to be. It is a difficult but very rewarding journey and my life changed immeasurably when I walked through those doors on day 1. The participants in my group had experienced some of life’s toughest roads: abuse, neglect, divorce, rape, alcoholism, the loss of adult children and spouses, suicide of a family member and heartbreak beyond measure. To see these people(and myself) rise above their circumstances and love themselves and their lives again and see that they are not simply the story of what happened to them, but whole people… who had never been given the safety to grieve… was so powerful. I have spent years of my time and thousands of dollars on therapy and I can honestly say, that this program did more for me in 8 days than conventional«tell me about your mother» nonsense had ever accomplished. I am sad that another reviewer doesn’t agree with the principles of the course however it is my understanding that this person never actually participated, but became un-partnered with someone who, after completing Daybreak, wanted something different for her own life. It is unfortunate he puts the responsibility for his un-coupling on a program instead of on himself and his former partner. I can’t say enough about what this seminar did for me and continues to do for me. I have never been happier with myself, my life, my family nor my circumstances and I owe it all to the strength I found in Daybreak and the trust I put in its leaders to show me what life can really offer.
