“Prepare for lots of inspiring teachings and thoughtful talks that reach down into the depth of your being.  Expect many lively debates that make you come alive 100%, experimental cuisine on a daily basis, very interesting dinner table conversations indeed, tons of warmth and support from the people around you, a good deal of subtle and sometimes less subtle guidance by Linda and Gregg.  Don’t hesitate a second to register for it.  It’s money and time very well spent.” — Barbara Buri, Switzerland

The ToDo Institute continues to be a hidden gem for me. Having done the Naikan retreat and now the Residential Certification Program, I continue to grow in my personal,spiritual and professional lives. As an allopathic physician who is seeking to provide integrative care, I would recommend this course and the wonderful experiences that can be gained from attendance, to all physicians who are looking at a more patient/person centered care.

Thank you for making an intense certification training program such a joyful learning experience. The week after the training, I led a short introduction to Naikan and because of your training, I was able to share on the spot a practice that helped a woman proceed with restoring relations in her family. Thank you for making a certification program that guides us on how to share Naikan and Morita techniques in ways that others can use to benefit their lives.
