Testimonials

“The True Awakening is the best thing I have ever done in my life. It permanently changed how I see the world and myself in a way I have only ever read about in books. I am forever grateful that I found my way to Russell and True Source."

—Kathyn Jefferies - Professor, Orillia, Ontario

 

"It happened just like Russell said, I was eating breakfast on Saturday morning, and like the snap of the finger, I was awake, the light came on, I knew who I was. Every thing was new, like I had never seen it before, and it was exquisite. I was born again, free to experience life with the knowing that I would never die. The body might go but I would live on." 

—Roger Groulx - Procurement Officer for DND,
Ottawa, Ontario

 

“This is truly a powerful technique... My, my, my - how does one find the words? The full realization of it (my enlightenment) did not come until the second to the last dyad on the third day. My question was... What Is Life? … Well...as I try to type the words, to share the experience, I feel myself holding back the words because no words can convey the Sacredness of it... “Life is the face of God!”

Kamakshi - Massage Therapist,

“Think back in your mind to being eight years old and waking up on Christmas morning, the first day of summer vacation, or your birthday. Wow! You just can't wait to greet the day and every moment seems made just for you. Now imagine that, in addition to this magical world, you've got your very own personal grownup who is your protector and your comforter in case of challenges, as well as your teacher, organizer and your servant to make sure each new day is as wonderful as the last one. That's the happy truth that I have found from really asking who I am."

Laura Mitchell - Ecologist, Port Colborne, Ontario

There are many reasons why concerned home owners are extremely interested in alternative energy sources. Some want to protect themselves from unpredictable blackouts like the ice storm of 2002. Some are building a new home and want to incorporate sustainable design and technology.

Others live in remote areas too far from a hydro connection and many want to save money on their energy costs or are interested in being ecologically responsible for philosophical reasons.

Whatever your reason, you know it can be difficult to get the up-to-date information you need about renewable energy concepts and technologies from a single, unbiased, professional source, one that isn’t interested in selling you a product or service! Further, your needs may be unique or require a different application from another home owner and the information you get may just not be appropriate.

The Living “Off the Grid” Eco-Workshop is a 2 ½ day/2 night workshop designed to provide you with a “one stop” knowledge base of the most recent information on renewable energy from unbiased experts -  professionals who have been involved in installing or living with sustainable energy systems for many years.
