Testimonials from workshop participants
Ulrich Jungblut
I am having a very exciting time in these first eight weeks since taking the 8-Day workshop led by Tuulia. I am opening up to people about things I had previously withheld. That feels quite intense most of the time and usually leads to an emotional exchange and a closeness that is unusual for me. Read more

I went to my first Radical Honesty workshop with Tuulia in October 2015. I can honestly say it impacted my life tremendously. During the workshop, I saw my patterns and learned a lot from honest feedback of others. It gave me a mirror to see myself through the eyes of others, something that I had never experienced before.

I was sceptical as to how much one weekend could mean to me. But as I listened to others and shared my story, I started to understand what was bothering me. I was trying to hide in order not to be hurt. This hiding caused me pain and loneliness, because I wasn’t being my authentic self. Read more

They are very supportive and kind, and very good at what they do. I learned a lot about staying present with my bodily sensations as I share or listen, which helps me be present and honest. I also feel very grateful for communication tools and practices they shared with us and hope to incorporate them into my daily life with time. I can already feel that I am connecting with myself, my wishes, and my boundaries more due to this work and that I feel I already have more tools to communicate these things with other people in a productive way.” — Fini (Austria)
