'The main gift of the Process for me was that it allowed me to reconcile my relationship with my father. Before the Process, I felt I hated him every day. I didn’t know the Process would change that. I also didn’t know that my feelings towards him were hurting me so much.
In allowing me to work through those feelings, the Process led me to finally understand what was at the root of the rage I was carrying around with me. I can now think of my father with compassion and love. When I think of him now, I think happy thoughts, no longer with the hurt that used to go with the thought. Of course I remember the things he did, but I see them now as events that have passed. The biggest difference now is that it doesn’t hurt me anymore.
I am proud of what I achieved during and after the Process. I’m so incredibly happy to be calmer and to be coming from a place of love instead of rage. And I’m even prouder that I had the guts to go to the Process in the first place!'

The Future Made Simple
is a five-day retreat in France, suitable for anyone who has completed the Hoffman Process and wishes to open the door to a positive future. It’s a great way to have a holiday and be beautifully looked after in the company of other Hoffman graduates. It is also a wonderful space for couples who have both done the Process to come into a deeper connection together and share a new Hoffman experience.
The course is hosted by Matthew and Emma Pruen at
The French Retreat
, their beautiful home near Bordeaux (little owl sightings possible but not guaranteed).
Venue:
La Loge,
16210 Yviers, near Bordeaux/Bergerac, France (View a map
here
)
Cost:
£995 per person, to cover all tuition, accommodation, food, airport transfers and use of the outdoor pool.
'The French Retreat was gentler and more of a holiday than the Process, but no less powerful...' April 2019 attendee

August's top tip: put it down and look around
|
|
|
|
According to a 2018
report from Ofcom, adults in the UK check their smartphones on average every twelve minutes, and one in five people spend more than 40 hours per week online.
But is our constant frenzy to stay 'connected' actually making us more isolated? Do we really
need something to be happening in every moment?
On the Process, you survived for a whole week without your phone or other electronic device. For today, try putting them away again and being present to the world. Look around instead. Meet a friend for coffee and connect with them face to face. Try to spot something in a familiar environment that you've never noticed before. Take time to look up, not down...
