What people say about their experiences:
I am in awe after this last weekend – in awe of the truth and beauty you have put us in touch with, and in awe of the toughness, determination and talent it has taken to bring this amazing revelation to life and shape it into an experience that can be shared by us all. Living through the series of ceremonies has been such a precious revelation, truly transformative.

The transformations I have seen in those that have done the ceremony are incredible, from those that have been near death and literally "come back" with no fear whatsoever, to those who have left their partners of many years for a new life, to those who have decided what career move they wanted and really going for it, to name but a few.

I was always aware that fear played a role in my life; I was stunned to see to what extent. Only when I had cast aside the hopelessly large baggage, filled with crippling fear, did I realise how much I was actually carrying around. I feel in control now.
The painfully delicate membrane that was my ego-driven identity prior to this course of ceremonies, driven to out-do everyone else, to be better than everyone else, has been ruptured, birthing a new me - the real me; satisfied with who I am, and with a genuine confidence, free of arrogance. I no longer see life as a competition. I see us all as truly equal for the first time in my life, no one's mere existence a threat to anyone elses', potentially a gift to each other, and the unnecessities that go with with trying to out-do everyone have simply slid away: I have embraced calmness. I am happy.

I am aware of a lateral shift in emotion taking place - an economical movement of what energy is necessary to invest in a moment to moment basis. I watch and feel it within me, without my having to do anything, except be awed and grateful. I have a greater awareness and unshakeable sense of rightness of checking in and coming back to any sense of a situation/feeling/person - learning from compassionate discrimination. I can only conclude that this is directly as a result of the "sovereign human" in action, as I have never felt it so viscerally. It feels like a wise, loving, intelligent and gentle energy that moves me towards the best use of my skills in a given situation and allows me to discriminate in order to make the best choices. I no longer feel self-pity, anxiety, worry or depression. Anger still comes up but it passes quickly like a summer storm … the energy is beautiful in its economy.

The process is so subtle yet so profound. I have been continually energised to complete jobs and clear out within my home and work environment. People are much more accepting of what I say: it is as if I have more 'presence'. I was always very observant: professionally and socially others have used my skills, but now I understand and 'name the game' more. My timing is amazing: it is as if unseen presences, unheard voices communicate with me. My treatments have changed and it is as if the remedies self-select. The process is now so much clearer and faster. My subtle body is doing things and I am even thinking with more depth. It is as if my 'being' has more depth and activity, as if I have 'grown' within my body.
My children, for whom I surrogated, both got in touch with me within 24 hours of the ceremonies. My youngest, at last, is using her voice and making her views known to her partner instead of taking a docile position. Health for both has improved which is very good. I feel great and much happier. A big thank you!

I am one of those people, like so many, who live in their head. I think all the time. It's one of those states where you don't realize something is up until you experience something different. The changes have been very subtle but very noticeable. Since I had my first connection I have started to feel more relaxed and receptive to the world around me. I suddenly find myself listening to someone talking to me....but really listening, almost like I was a sponge absorbing what they were saying without the endless judgement and chatter from my mind.
On the other hand, it's as if I'm watching a movie playing in front of me and instead of being wrapped up in the drama I'm observing it, watching it all slowly unfold....I see people living almost like slaves, sleepwalking, frightened, but I'm just watching it. I feel excited, empowered and I have no idea where I'm going or what's going to happen, but for the first time I feel less frightened by this and awaiting the next chapter.
I've been interested in spiritual matters for a long time, but I haven't felt inspired for ages. Now I feel a renewed passion and excitement about change and adventure. I cannot wait to get my next Template ceremony connections.....it's so nice to feel 'me' again. Bring it on!!!

I have noticed subtle changes in myself, such as an improvement in my general energy. For a long time I have had M.E type condition and this I noticed has improved. Also I have noticed that I feel more of a presence about myself, like I am more here, so to speak. Finally, what for me has been the most profound thing is the change which occurred in my internal world – a felt sense – difficult to put in words, a place inside which of deep fear, disconnection, aloneness, like a terrified small child lost and bewildered... anyway this aspect of myself which was just part of me… somehow… just seemed to evaporate following the connection ceremony. So I still have my high days and low days but the difference is now that troubling things seem to be more in the background of my life rather than the foreground. For example, difficult feelings no longer take me over any more, I can deal with myself much better and those difficult feelings seem to pass over more quickly. So far in my process of returning to Self this experience of the ceremonies has been most significant and beneficial.

I can no longer sustain relationships that are not based on equality. Everything has come into its place.
- BV
Considering the results of the first ceremony, I am very eager to continue with the remaining ceremonies. I have seen profound and subtle changes in my emotional body, my physical health and my psychological approach to situations and activities. I am more confident, less anxious and am experiencing a general sense of increased well being. I do hesitate to say that I am experiencing clearer spiritual understanding, but I think that I might be. Without a doubt, I am happier and more aware.

I was surprised and not surprised by the unmistakeable 'yes' I felt deep inside me when I read the leaflet describing The Template process. I knew I had to do it even though I had absolutely no idea what most of the words meant. After the first ceremony I saw a double rainbow, fireworks after the second and third ceremony, and from then on - an ever more intriguing, never-ending, spiral unfolding from the core of my being. If you are looking for home and your tribe, perhaps even your star family, you may feel called to the Template ceremonies - and when you are, you will have to decide whether or not, or perhaps, when exactly to respond to the enormous ‘yes' calling out to you.

A month after the first ceremony I realized I had no more paranoid feelings. After the second and third ceremonies my diet changed spontaneously and effortlessly .
- CJ
After a traumatic childhood in London during the war, and my military service in Burma , I suffered with anxiety and insomnia. After the ceremonies it felt like I had come home. The main thing was that I had far less fear.
- GB
The effects are subtle, but relentless and powerful. Over the period of eighteen months since I participated in the first ceremony and then the second and third ceremonies, I have noticed significant changes in my thinking, my behaviour and my results. I am stronger physically, mentally and emotionally and I find it a lot easier to speak the truth when I might have chosen to subjugate my needs to someone else's.

Having been a confirmed skeptic all my life, you can imagine my reaction to being told about yet another process that offered a fast-track alternative to years of meditation and study. I have been involved in a great many processes and all have made claims to be the fastest way of connecting to Higher Self or Source and achieving enlightenment. It is therefore rather strange for me to find myself writing an endorsement for one of these processes.
I came upon The Template model of transcendence roughly two years ago through someone whose opinion I greatly respected. Due to my previous experiences, searching for meaning and understanding had been a slow laborious process and I began to think that I might never find the meaning in my life that I craved. So it was with a feeling of resignation rather than enthusiasm that I attended the first two ceremonies in May 2006.
The affects weren’t instantaneous, but within a couple of weeks I realized that the world around me hadn’t changed but my reaction to it most certainly had.
I had been angry for as long as I could remember over a number of issues that I felt powerless to control or prevent. This had led to frustration in the extreme and eventually to deep depression interspersed with bouts of uncontrollable rage. This had completely transformed, I still felt anger, but now it was in a manageable form and I no longer felt the compulsion to act it out in what were often severely destructive ways.
Within a couple of months, I realized that other changes had taken place too, I no longer felt like a victim of life, instead I saw for the first time how my thoughts on a subject directly contributed to the outcome allowing me to see myself as a co-creator (admittedly in the negative at that time). This was something of a revelation to me, as I had always felt powerless to effect the changes in the world that I would so dearly have liked to see, enabling people to live in harmony with each other, and the beautiful planet on which we live.
It was at this time that I booked my place for the remaining four ceremonies which were fittingly held over the Easter bank holiday weekend of 2007 in Glastonbury. Unknown to me then, the sixth ceremony was being held for the very first time and the hall was packed with people that had quite literally come from around the globe. These people, having participated in the previous ceremonies (in some cases many years before) all came together with a common purpose of spirit and the energy in the room was palpable. The ceremonies were beautiful and resonated with me in a way that I could never have imagined possible and even now, a year later I am still discovering new things about myself as a result.
To sum up, I gave nothing to these ceremonies except my attendance and attention, and found to my great surprise and joy that this is all that is required. Belief systems, race, gender or past experiences have no bearing whatsoever and the language of these ceremonies appears to me to be truly universal .

I feel like I have had a tremendous change after the last ceremonies, I feel so much more present, and all the noise has just wandered away. I’m becoming me again; I remember who I am in a way...

When Juliet talked about the 6th putting you in contact with that other dimension/place they experienced at Green Mountain, that's exactly how I felt post-ceremony. I felt like I was in two places at once, the one not in immediate reality feeling a lot more pleasant! Along with that came a new perspective on things, later in the evening, after the 6th, I had a clear sense of how the existing spiritual paths/traditions were games that were needed in the mutant reality, the implication being that they were largely a reaction to/product of it and that possibly they could be completely irrelevant once the new paradigm emerges. That awareness was only fleeting but absolutely tangible at the time.
A more permanent feature has been greater insight, which has manifested in terms of putting my awareness on something and having a stream/track of information about it coming to mind. It's not that I've not experienced this before, but this seems deeper with, for want of better words, a longer stream.
An effect in some ways more reminiscent of the 1st ceremony is a change in relation to the experience of fear. Things at work that would have had had me worried I have been completely neutral about and that is a marked shift which appears to have persisted. Also, whilst AA (partner) was away I normally indulge in buying foods (particularly fast foods!) rather than making stuff for myself. This time around I find myself fixing my own food most nights, which is a marked change and something I haven't done to this extent since when I lived alone. AA noted that she has found herself far less tolerant of people who hang onto their sob stories and make that a major feature of conversation.
The last couple of things came up in the recent workshops I did with Z in London. One of the techniques he demonstrated was the use of symbols to shift experiences and even entire time-lines. I picked the hyper-dodecahedron as a symbol to use. Just visualising it spinning in the room whilst Z was describing the method was very powerful, not just for me, as it seemed to shift the room's energy as well and I swear that Z picked up on this. Further confirmation came when we actually practiced the method with a partner. My partner commented that when I got to the part of the technique we used the symbol that he felt himself 'walk through the symbol with me.' This didn't occur when he was the person using the symbol and was not an experience reported by anyone else in the group. So I'm putting this down to the geometry itself!

The anxiety I have had for years and the depression that was draining me have completely gone.
