Coming to Nepal was a very different experience for me. This country is rich with culture and religion. Here, The Golden Space family from 5 countries met and built friendships. We had fun together; we helped and encouraged each other. I challenged my fears and weaknesses in this Retreat. I am glad I managed to overcome them. I felt that I was the lucky one when I saw the people here who had to work hard for a living. I learnt to appreciate what I had. Being grateful is a lesson I need to work on after this Retreat. Apart from that, I also grew spiritually and mentally. My thinking started to change when I faced problems. I became more aware and more positive when obstacles arised. I am the one who solved the problems and not I being solved by the problems. Lastly, I want to thank all the brothers and sisters in this family for giving their unconditional love that touched my heart deeply. Also, to Umesh and Sheila for their support along this journey and the effort that both of them put in. I love you all!

I got to know about this Course through a family member. I was down before this Workshop and have been going through a rough patch for a while. This Workshop has made me lighter by helping me let go of my burden and heavy load. I have also learnt to be more calm with myself through meditation. Yes, I will recommend this Course to people who would like to understand more about themselves and re-connect with their true inner-self. The trainer was fun, kind and helpful in bringing out what we did not understand or were searching for.

"Awaken ~ The Divine You" ^® - Foundation Level, Apr '09

Facing a dead end of endless problems with daily arguments, I thought asking Elton to join this program was the only (no harm) way to help him. I believed this course would help him in sounding out his inner problem. I had nothing to lose as I wanted to see him happy again. He came back as a better person, lightened up and more positive, which I thought was a blessing to our marriage again. It also helped in terms of looking into myself again. It benefited both of us in a good way. There were some days when I doubted my decision of him becoming so overloaded in spiritual thoughts and energy; it scared me off. However, seeing him happy again, I brushed off my doubts about this course and we started to learn to trust each other more. Above all, I got back my husband and nothing matters more anymore! A good marriage is a good tough marriage that lets the energy flow from both sides with a strong foundation of trust and support!

MCL2 was a course I'd been looking forward to and knew I was in for a good time. Every level of the course is different. It really is a life-changing course in all aspects. To really grow in life, you need to experience. And this is what these Courses and Facilitator (Umesh) provide. For MCL2, it has been a truly exciting process and wonderful journey. Dear Umesh and Sheila, thank you both for everything that is so wonderful and amazing. THANK YOU.

"Awaken ~ The Divine You" ^® - Master Course Level 2 (Bali, Indonesia)

I met Umesh at a seminar and somehow felt connected to him. He told me about his "Basic Meditation" and the "Awaken ~ The Divine You"^® courses, and as I was looking for a meditation course to take, I went for the preview and signed up. At first, I wanted to just do Basic Meditation Course, but what happened on the first day convinced me to go on to "Awaken ~ The Divine You"^® course. I was updated with too much information and needed to quiet my mind so I could make some decisions for the rest of my life. Both courses have done that and more for me. I am more focused, much calmer and more at peace with myself and the Universe. I would recommend this to anyone who is ready for something like this. Umesh is a joy to work with and The Golden Space is a peaceful sanctuary for some life transforming work that needs to be done. I really enjoyed the energy and love.

"Awaken ~ The Divine You" ^® - Foundation Level

Words cannot describe the experience I have had at this Retreat in Nepal. The spiritual expression of love, light and awareness was far greater than I could possibly perceive. My spiritual growth has opened channels that I was totally unaware of. I feel I am now empowered and ready for the next steps on my Divine path with new courage and commitment. I am very grateful to Umesh for presenting this wonderful opportunity and for all the spiritual guidance; also to our Angels, Higher Guides, Masters and Glorious Creator.

Nepal Retreat

Now I understand why things happen to us for a reason. Because my husband was under a spell, so I was always seeking to find someone to release the spell. Finally, somehow God brought me The Golden Space. It is very clear now that things happen for a reason. There is no coincidence. Ever since I attended the course, right from start to now, I find it very satisfying. I feel lighter, happier, more aware, more focus and mindful. I know who AM I. I learn to communicate with God; ask and you will receive. Umesh is a great teacher/master. I even enrolled my husband for the course, he is a changed person now; no more bad temper, selfishness and stubbornness and all bad habits are disappearing. He realized the difference in himself now. I felt so happy also because now he doesn't nag at me anymore; he can see the light now. It is a relief for me, I can do things I like without worrying. I would definitely recommend my friends to attend the course till Master Level 1. In fact, you will automatically want to know more about yourself. The lesson will become more interesting as you go along. Especially going for the Retreat, you will detach from everything, completely switch off. I will definitely come for Master Level 2. Since after the course, I found out so much about things and seeing with my third eye for the answer. Thank you Umesh and Sheila. God Bless you.

This was a magical, sacred and transformational experience. I felt the connection with the Divine and felt the vibrational shift. Beautiful is an apt, although not quite appropriate, word to describe the energy and fellowship that I've experienced. In love and light, thank you Umesh & Sheila.

Nepal Retreat

I found messages that came to my life again and again. I had fallen and past experiences brought me here to this stage, when I finally realised how important it is to live our lives positively, especially when it is full of trials. There are many times we take things for granted and don't acknowledge what great gifts God has given us. We choose to live our lives materialistically and forget to follow our intuition at all times. We have chosen it. Isn't it time we 'awaken' ourselves and love ourselves more? When we pay attention and really experience every journey with the intention of love, the world will be a very beautiful. Good things are always waiting for us ahead. Just take the first step to awaken the inner you - the real you!

"Awaken ~ The Divine You" ^® - Advance Level, Apr '09

The Retreat has been an eye-opening and interesting experience. It has allowed me to open my heart more and re-discover the passion for life. The entire journey in Nepal was well-planned and much effort had been undertaken to ensure smoothness and ease of the program. Coming to Nepal itself has been a great blessing. Overall, I had a wonderful time here.

Nepal Retreat

I finally found out that I could sit still for at least 20 mins each time and center myself without much difficulty. I have always wanted to do meditations but the 'mind' always told me that it was too difficult, so I never really got started. Now I know, it wasn't that difficult at all. I will continue to meditate from now onwards to enrich my life and try to do it everyday. The course was effective and full of encouragement and a warm. I will recommend this course to my family and friends as it will be beneficial for them.

Basic Meditation Course

I have been waiting for this day to come ever since I had finished my MCL2 last year. During my one year of waiting, I had to face my own challenges with a positive mind. And in my heart, I know I needed this retreat to rejuvenate my soul energy. At last, the day arrived - 14 July 2009. I must say the MCL3 was well-organised and was full of surprises! MCL3 is a total thorough deep cleansing, polishing, anchoring which ever words one can describe. I have a deeper & clearer self-reflection on myself. It makes me see a bigger picture besides myself, my family, friends, etc. MCL3 has taught us various teachings. One of them is Quantum Healing. I can benefit from it as and when I do my healing. I have benefited alot since I joined the Foundation Level (L1) up to now. I have realised my own growth. Before joining meditation, I was not aware of the importance of Self love, awareness, positive mind, etc. After going through the levels of "Awaken ~ The Divine You"^®, I understand why the course tittle is named as such. I was indeed being awakened; I am quick to realise and be positive even in adverse situations. I am happier and less worried when facing trying moments. I used to confide in my close friends before I learned meditation, for advice. Now, I know how to console my friends who have some challenges in life. In MCL3, it made me re-think my life purpose on Earth. The importance to spread my love and light as soon as possible, heading towards humanity. It is worthwhile to spend time, money and effort to invest in "AWAKEN ~ THE DIVINE YOU"^® as it not only nurtures our mind, body & soul, it also makes one realise the life purpose during our time on Earth. We are able to strike a balance in the material and spiritual world at the same time, realise the importance of our part in saving our dearest Mother Earth. Save Mother Earth = Save yourself. The teachings in "AWAKEN ~ THE DIVINE YOU"^® is beneficial to us throughout the rest of our life. Thank you Umesh & Sheila for this MCL 3 retreat.

Nepal Retreat

It reminded me a lot of the basic knowledge and practices. These basic practices make my foundation more and more solid. I feel it is much easier to get into meditation (almost instantly). Thank you for giving us this Refresher Course at a very reasonable price. I gained the most out of it!

"Awaken ~ The Divine You" ^® - Personal Mastery Level (2nd Refresher), Apr '09

The Nepal Retreat has awakened and empowered me. Now I can sense the energy more. This trip was very challenging and fun. First time trekking in the nature early in the morning and up to the top of the mountain. First time paragliding, first time meditating in open air. Enjoying every moment in Nepal, especially with all the brothers and sisters from diferrent countries. I am looking forward to the next Retreat. Thank you, Umesh and Sheila.

–Joyce Tan, Kuala Lumpur

Nepal Retreat

I am amazed by the amount of techniques I have learnt within this hour and being able to connect to my inner feelings. I released a lot of negative energy. I always act and appear like I am very strong, in fact, I have a lot of fear within me to do certain things. I feel relieved and enlightened and I think that there are a lot of inner potentials within me. I will recommend this course to others because there are so many of us who are so strong but do not realize, and I want my friends to benefit from it. Umesh is clear in his explanations, humorous, sincere and uses his heart to share; a kind person. Nice classroom environment, very positive energy with a good range of books, etc.

–Daphne Low, Singapore

Basic Meditation Course

I was feeing very stressed and confused before the course. I learned the proper way of breathing and feel relaxed after the course. It helped me to relax my mind and see things in a more clear way. The teaching was conducted in a simple, easy to understand way and a universal open mind. I would like to go for the Level I course to learn more on the meditation as I believe it will make my life better and happier.

–Yeow Leong Chee Alvin, Singapore

Basic Meditation Course

I really enjoyed myself in Nepal. It was great meeting the family from Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and the Philippines. The Retreat opened up my eyes to the higher realm which I experienced personally, by hearing male and female voices chanting during meditation exercises. Visiting the Golden Space was a huge treat, as I felt safe, completely loved and my presence validated. Going for the paragliding taught me that, in life, you just have to do it and quit thinking. That got me to overcome the fear of falling. Overall, I enjoyed every minute of Nepal - the warmth and kindness of the Nepali people, visiting temples, connection to nature and realising that life goes on for the poor Nepali people. Thank you, Umesh and Sheila, for doing this Retreat. I enjoyed every moment of this trip to Nepal.

–Catherine Cheong, Kuala Lumpur

Nepal Retreat

Words alone cannot express the joy, peace and love felt in my heart on completing the Masters Course Level 1 in Bangalore. The Ancient School of Wisdom provided the perfect setting of 'a heavenly oasis on Earth', with the connection with Nature being a part of the idyllic haven to participate in the daily workshops. My awareness has increased greatly along with a deep sense of inner peace. My inner strength has deepened and the pure joy of being alive is something money cannot buy. Umesh is a truly inspirational teacher and mentor who guides and supports all participants with pure unconditional love. His passionate nature is heart-warming and I thoroughly encourage everyone to participate in any of his courses. In love and light,
