27 Days of Change Reviews & Testimonials

"I just want to say how impressed I am with this community you guys created. The daily emails, knowing that this outlet is here, and now that we get to continue to think this through for 40 days, it gives me more time to look at my practice and the lack of. Again, thanks for doing this."

"I am so glad I spontaneously signed up for this. It's galvanising & I'm gaining so much from the community. Thank you for sharing your insights, reflections, struggles, wounded places and progress."

"Still on the journey. Started late. So far, so good!"

"I joined this program because I have been going deeper into my practice and felt this would be a wonderful way to fine tune a few things within a supportive community. I am also deepening practice to ground in a new way of being in relation to the current sociopolitical situation we are in here in the US. I am a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, a mindfulnes..."

"I am appreciating how the quotes and questions take me deeper so I can explore more of the ways self deception and lack of awareness get in the way of ruefulness in my interactions with those very close to me."

"Been a practitioner and even instructed others in meditation, and I picked up a thing or two from this talk. And I have said something similar, but never so perfectly as this: "Meditation is the dance between the noisy distracted mind and point. Meditation is the willingness to make the journey from other than point to back to point again. That's meditatio..." Read more

"I have strong habit energy around "showing up" for the collective (team, family, boss, friends, community...) less so for myself. At this stage in my practice, I am working on unpacking the deeply ingrained fears, habits, etc. that makes me feel like I am I hurting myself deliberately by choosing distractions, unhealthy food, etc. And I find being alert to a..."

"Thanks for the 27 days of change, y'all. I greatly appreciated having more instruction from Rev. angel, and I feel closer to Truth and to my truth. The 27 days program was a gentle, consistent reminder to stay true to my path. At times I was frustrated and wanted more. At times I was overwhelmed and wanted to quit. But I feel different than when I started...." Read more

"Wonderful to be led by thoughtful justice oriented teacher, participate in a conscious community of practice and push myself to name edges and then reach."

"I studied meditation for three months before and this is by far the most stable I've ever felt in posture. Really clear instruction. Thank you"

"Today I am thankful for everyone who is going to sit across the Thanksgiving table from someone with whom they disagree and still manage to see them as a person, and maybe even share a special moment together. Here’s a toolkit to help you have those meaningful conversations:"

"Honestly? I was surprised by how much actual change this program engendered in my busy busy life. Holy crap this is some strong medicine."

"Rev. angel, it was a blessing to sit with you on the Friday night you were in Portland, OR and wished I was able to attend all weekend. My work is in racial equity and I believe as POC we have so much work to do with each other to dismantle the many ways we have internalized and perpetuate oppression with each other. So far I have used Theater of the Oppress..." Read more

"These explanations of near and far enemies are so helpful to understanding myself -- and my entire life's worth of relationships -- and what my practice is. These talks will disappear soon as the course ends, right? Thank you for offering them."

"Thank you for giving me more tools to better tend my garden of self. To willingly embark on a voyage of change is in itself courageous. I look forward to another 27 days."

"It's the eve of the 27th day, and I've been tidying up all the corners of my online portal. I spent a powerful afternoon listening to the remainder of Rev. Angel's talks. Her take on the four noble truths was probably one of the most meaningful I've heard. Spending tonight in a reflective space. Time will get all warpy where I live, and suddenly there will..."

"I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the sit and call this morning. With a toddler, life tends to be more homebound and our radius tends to be quite small. This feels right and appropriate and at the same time, I recognize that I am deeply nourished by community. It always seems to be a toss up for me how well a digital platform can meet that need, an..." Read more

"Pursuing my own personal intentions within the context of the paramitas traditions and perspectives on change. Working on them in a supportive environment that included the emailed and recorded material, live guidance and interactions, and community."

"The overall organization of the experience is great. Lots of directives helped focus me throughout. The coaching calls are great....Even when watching as a recording after the fact. And of course, the private coaching call was wonderful and illuminating. Loved the community on FB."

"Community is the new guru"

"My one-on-one with Angel was like a spiritual light bulb combined with a gut punch. Amazing, beautiful, immediately changed my habit, and also super painful to see."

"I just want to say how much I love your presence. I really appreciate your background in so many different areas - activism, leadership, Zen. It's a perfect blend... Continually asking us to apply ourselves completely to the simple profundity of what you are saying is so helpful. There's no one doing what you are doing. Thank you for doing it."

"Process and organization of the intentions followed by carefully designed support that had a deep and broad path of exploration."

"Most useful was making a commitment to practicing with some of my stuck places. The FB group helped me to feel I wasn’t alone with my commitment. People’s comments were helpful. Meeting some practitioners through image and/or voice (in group coaching) was also helpful."
