Stories from Mindvalley’s students

I was born an optimist and have always known intrinsically that I possess strong skills to cope with life's challenges. In 2011, a major traumatic experience occurred within my midwifery career. Eventually, I surrendered to what was, and new doors opened, leading me onto a profound spiritual path with a powerful desire…

Spiritual Mastery was not just a programme for me - it was an opening, an activation, and a journey back to myself. I came into it as a long-time meditator, yoga practitioner, happiness enthusiast, and speaker on "Happiness is a Choice" - a message that has become both my keynote and my way of life. For many years…

My story by Jennifer Bowns Since beginning the Mindvalley Spiritual Mastery course, every day feels different when I awaken. If someone asked me, "What's one of the best things you've ever done in your life?" without hesitation, I would gratefully reply: enrolling in the Mindvalley Spiritual Mastery course. It was a…

I grew up around religion but moved away from it for a long time. I struggled with the fear, rigidity and dogma that often came with it. I couldn't force myself to believe something simply because I was told to. What drew me toward Mindvalley in the first place was curiosity. Over the last few years I've done several…

# The Retreat I Never Attended Became the Initiation I Needed My journey into spiritual mastery did not begin with this Mastery experience. In many ways, I feel I have been walking this path since I was 12 years old, when I first read the book *Getting There Without Drugs*. Something in me awakened early. I became…

The main feeling I've had throughout the course is that you feel welcomed, for a few months, by a family that takes you away from your professional environment and into a tribe-as you call it at Mindvalley-which you miss on the days you're not with it. And that feeling of closeness-as if you've known each person your…

When I enrolled in Spiritual Mastery, I wasn't looking for enlightenment. I was looking for understanding. Most areas of my life were actually going quite well. I had meaningful work, wonderful friends, and many things to be grateful for. Yet one part of my life felt heartbreaking. My relationship with my son had…

After buying the replay of Jeffrey Allan's Duality course many years ago, I knew deep down this was exactly what I needed for my spiritual development. But even though I recognised it, I still struggled to consciously implement the teachings and take daily actions, especially the meditations. But through a dream, I…

The ocean doesn't stop learning how to move. Neither do I. Over 26 years ago, a spiritual awakening cracked my world open - born from depression, fear, and the quiet strength of raising a child alone. I had meditated, studied, and gathered wisdom from many teachers like shells along the shore. I came into this program…

Before this programme, I felt like I was slipping into survival mode. During this course, I felt like a series of familiar tests and cycles showing up again and again. Yet I knew I wasn't the same person I had been before. I'd grown. I'd evolved. The question wasn't why these situations were happening, but how I could…

I was formerly a teacher in Ireland, workforce optimization sales executive in UK and US, moved countries twice, divorced twice whilst remaining friends with both ex-husbands, chose not to have children, much as I love them, and am now what is commonly referred to as a "digital nomad". After a number of traumatic…

I am so grateful for Spiritual Mastery because it helped me not only open spiritually, but actually integrate that opening into my everyday life. Before this program, I was in an exciting but unfamiliar place. I initially joined after receiving a transmission at a Sedona retreat that opened my gifts up in new ways. At…
