"I attended Leela School to get to know myself on a deeper level than just what you see in behavior. It became very clear what I want, what makes me happy and how to live my life in a way that happiness and insight never leave. My loved ones also benefit from this. I am so much more relaxed. If you are looking for yourself, this is a great way to discover!"
"A unique combination, skillful means together with deep, maybe the deepest insights. I experienced this and I will integrate it in Silence. In my life I have been in many groups of people but this group was by far the most upright."
"I was rooted in the fear that simply being is not enough. But what a great misconception. The peace I seek, and hear in your words, I find only by being nothing at all. There’s the gold. There’s beauty. Thank you Eli Jaxon-Bear"
