4 Themes
Consistent shifts across all work
Becoming calmer and more grounded
I came into this program thinking I had already done all the hard work. What a load of crap I was telling myself. There was so much ugly stuff seeping from lifelong wounds that poisoned my happiness and relationships. Now, the word I hear most often is 'calm.'
— Cliff, PA, USA
People who know me say I'm the best version of myself. I trust myself. I know myself. I'm going to be more than okay for the rest of my life.
— Dean, England, UK
Learning to trust self
I've never been so grateful and at peace in my life as I am now. I know how to lead myself to continual abundance and growth. This was one of the biggest areas of growth in my life.
— Andrew, CT, USA
Truly transformational. I changed and became an enhanced me. I feel better. I think better. I'm more resilient.
— Daniel, MA, USA
This experience reminded me that I'm not broken and never was. I don't need my wife, my job, or my circumstances to give me worth. I can give that to myself.
— Adam, WA, USA
Moving through crisis with clarity
The pain I was suffering led me to suicidal thoughts. This course helped save my life, my marriage, and my family. I now realize that I am okay all by myself, and I have the tools to handle my thoughts properly.
— Matthew, MN, USA
I came into this program desperate and broken, trying to hold onto my marriage. While I did get divorced, I gained clarity, strength, better health, and confidence. I now trust myself and my direction.
— Abdul, TX, USA
The impact of brotherhood
The difference between reading books and joining this community is night and day. You instantly get a group of initiated men who support you, test your beliefs, and help you move from fear and indecision to action.
— Abdul, TX, USA
The power of brotherhood truly saved my life. Having men to bring my struggles to, to be challenged and supported by, changed everything.
— Alex, USA
The best part about this experience is the brotherhood. Getting clear on how much shame I carried and releasing it alongside other men has been life-changing.
— Adam, WA, USA
Life-changing encounters
Life changing. Sven walked with me through some of the darkest days of my life. His wise counsel and perspective opened the door for me to experience a transformed relationship with the man inside of my heart. I will forever be grateful for his guidance, friendship and accountability.
— Dan F.
8 months ago I would have classified my anxiety level as an 8 out of 10. Today I would say it averages between 1 and 2. With 2 being a bad day. Sven gave me the tools and skills to walk into the light. And I promise you I will never go back.
— Lonnie K.
Sven Masterson helped to save my life. His kind and loving continued mentoring is helping to redeem my life. Through him, there is more love and less pain in the world.
— Michael J R.
Sven coached me during the darkest period of my life. He was constantly there for me — morning, noon and night. Through his coaching and mentoring, I was able to come out of all of this a strong, confident person with a clearer understanding of myself and what I want in life.
— David P.
I spent so much of my life trying to earn love. Today I am still happily married, but actually happily. He made it okay to be me. Thank you Sven, you changed my life, and the lives of those around me.
