Testimonials: Individualized Coaching Program
When I started, I had fears like "what if I envisioned this incredible future for myself and it turned out to be a make believe world that made no practical sense for my life?"
On a practical, real world, level, it worked for me because I knew that Lev would support me. I needed that support, that mental, spiritual fitness training, to jump start the process. Once I started going through the exercises, my life on the outside started to change. The emotions and limiting beliefs that had blocked me before, began to be replaced by other, lighter ways of being. It was as if, by focusing on the long term legacy, I was actually free, to tend to the activities that seemed small on the surface, but that actually were part of a network...by focusing on the legacy, you'll be creating a future memory that's fun, purposeful and challenging.
I feel that I am being called out by my ancestors and my successors. I feel that they are giving me the support I need to walk with less fear in this life, and to work in service, and love, toward my purpose. Having the support of a coach who has built his life in a sacred way - who's "been there," and continues to grow in his practice - is a real blessing. I feel supported and also that I have the permission to imagine my life for the magical experience that it is and can be.

I had a big YES in my body about doing this work with you. In our assessment conversation, you told me that this work is like planting a deep tap root into the earth that will grow my body of work for years to come. You mentioned that given that I'm 39 years old, I have 40-50 years left to live. When you said that, I felt something in me shift out of my focus on "here's my one year goal" or "new year's resolution." There was something about the expansiveness of forty years that both helped me to crystalize my purpose on this earth, and allowed me to exhale, and take a breathe, because I didn't need to do this overnight.
Developing this new dimension of my business is becoming a spiritual process as opposed to a mundane thing that needs to be done. This work is for anyone who is ready to have your life, and your business transformed in a huge way; if you want to integrate all of who you really are - your spiritual life, your values, your passions, into the work that you're doing in the world; and, if you want to feel like you are really living on purpose and giving your gifts in a way that is a conscious reflection of who you are, so you can be your brightest light and biggest self, whatever that means to you. Lev is an amazing guide to have on this fun, rewarding, sometimes intense journey.

"When I started work with Lev, I had just turned 41 years old. My children were 4 and 6. I was married. I was attempting to develop new focus in the primary areas of my life— inner/creative work and teaching, family, livelihood and business. I had been granted the gift of some new energy to focus and was applying some discipline. I felt motivated, and the time was right for coaching. The space that Lev created with his presence, intuition, and flexible responsiveness allowed me to turn my attention inward and carve out a larger, freer space to navigate.
During the course of work I was able to form strong intentions—focusing on relationship with my partner, and leadership in my business. Both of these underwent positive changes. The best part has been a regular, manageable commitment to attend to myself with the help of a patient, accepting ear, and sound counsel. I had the sense with Lev of being supported and accepted. I also appreciated his use of tools, which he offered skillfully. I recommend Lev to anyone who is available to change, and ready to inhabit presence more fully."

"When I started working with Lev, I was feeling not quite enough, not so confident, scared to put myself out there and to own my gift. Now I am feeling more confident than ever before. I feel the potency of my gift and I am offering it to the world in a big way. I have started the Center for Healing & Transformation with my partner and am leading groups in Boulder. My purpose is clearer and more deeply ingrained in my being than ever before. The question is not what is my gift but how can I offer that gift to the world more and more.
Lev helped me to create a ceremony in nature to fully claim my adulthood and that I am building a business and I now feel more empowered and supported by the world. I am now living with the love of my life and starting a business together. I have deep intimate connections where I feel more and more empowered to be vulnerable, open and loving. I feel more free to be who I truly am out in the world. Lev honors all aspects of my being and welcomes them into the coaching, so I don’t need to leave any of me behind. He meets me where I am at, and uses that experience as building blocks to where I want to go. I always end up feeling more empowered, more centered, and clearer than when I came on the call. Lev allows the Earth to speak through him. He feels a deep sacredness and reverence for all life that is palpable. I highly recommend working with Lev. He will help you be clearer about how to live a fulfilling, meaningful life where you are giving your true gifts to our world."

"My life has escalated and is more passionate, as the coaching has brought me more in touch with some earlier ambitions that I feel I can now better realize and more fully express. I am connecting this expression with a sense of purpose — which is to help bring a renewed spirit to prayer and song in the Jewish World, and I think I can make a lasting contribution in this area. I recommend working with Lev to anyone who is looking to get in touch with their sense of purpose and is looking to do some deep exploration of what is truly meaningful in their life."

Ultimately, I accomplished more with Lev in ten weeks than I did in five years with a traditional therapist. I’ll be forever grateful for his support. I started working with Lev because I needed spiritual support in making a relationship transition in my life. I was unable to move forward, and I felt completely stuck in my personal and business life because of it. When I arrived at my first session with Lev, I wasn’t sure if this coaching stuff was really going to help. After all, I’d been through five years of therapy and still had not been able to work through this particular problem. I’d met Lev about six months prior (at one of his Sound Healing circles) and had been impressed with his personality, his business, and his mission. I decided to try working with him because nothing else had worked for me; I simply wasn’t able to make this change and move forward on my own.
After two coaching sessions with Lev things began to shift, and by the third session, my understanding of the problem had completely transformed. As I told Lev, the problem seemed to move from a place of fear in my body—where it had resided for years—into my heart, where I could finally face it with the courage and compassion it needed. What is most impressive about Lev is his ability to Listen (yes, with a capital L). Not only is he truly present, but he has a way of cutting through to the heart of a matter, and his feedback is invaluable. Through the spiritual and practical exercises he provided, l achieved a laser-like focus on what I needed to do.

“I had what I would call the most powerful meditative visioning experience with Lev. Lev led me on a journey using the Thread of Guidance, all the way back to my birth and all the way into the future to the end of my life. I am no stranger to meditation, but this was nothing like I’ve ever experienced before. I traveled all the way back into my mother’s womb and even before where I remembered why I decided to incarnate as Uma. As I saw and experienced with deep wonder and awe how I have been always supported to get to this present moment, it gave me a new appreciation for my place in the Universe...I have no words to express my gratitude and appreciation for this vision. Lev’s gentle guidance helped me ease into this experience and receive such a powerful revelation that is already shifting something deeply within me. Thank you, Lev. Bless you.”

Testimonials: Sacred Business Program Alumni (6-Month Online Group Program)
Before The Sacred Business Program I didn't have a clear picture of what I wanted to do. I had bits and pieces of ideas about the kind of work I wanted to be doing, but I was having trouble piecing them together. I also was very challenged by the "how" of doing what I wanted to do. Having been very bogged down by "making everything happen" in my previous work, I knew I didn't want to run that route again. However, I was very burdened by the unknown -- how could I actually do what I wanted to do, if I didn't "make it all happen?"
This program gave me the tools to cultivate a clear overarching vision for how all my passions and skills could weave together into one coherent expression. It was really helpful to zoom out & see the big picture of what I was creating for myself and my life. Then, to slowly & methodically zoom in on the elements that could make this picture sustainable and complete. I also gained a lot from looking back into the past & acknowledging all that I went through to be able to bring this forth.
Now I've launched my business -- Voice Journey Sound Center -- and am feeling extremely blessed to be moving forward with this work. I have a deep sense of trust in the path I have chosen -- that it will develop & support me, so long as I am devoted to the essence and purpose of my work and the continuation of my growth & learning. Its incredibly rewarding to be performing, leading workshops and serving my individual students.

Update two years after Mark completed the program:
After two years of searching and networking, I have found and accepted a position as the lead communicator for an influential MIT research center focused on modeling climate change and evaluating potential responses that range from clean energy innovations to adaptive strategies. At long last, I have found a way to realize my vision of focusing my livelihood 100% on building a more sustainable future, one word at a time, using the communications skills I've acquired over the years. This job will land me squarely in the "sustainability space," providing a wonderful platform from which to continue to write/speak about ways to move the planet away from fossil-fueled globalization and toward post-carbon, walkable, re-localization.
Many thanks for your hard work during the Sacred Business Program in 2013, which has anchored me from visioning to networking to interviewing to taking on this new role. I'm sure what I learned in the program will continue to energize me as I step up to this platform and move my vision into the world.
After completing the program:
Through this program, the vision for my life's work has become clear - to help cultivate a network of walkable, locally resilient communities where people have easy access to nature, neighborhood, and the work of their heart, and the larger history of which they are a part--communities where people produce and consume as much as possible of life's necessities as close as possible to where they live.
Rooted in this vision, I have started a side business, Green Village Communications, to provide comprehensive editing and writing services to help organizations--innovative businesses, nonprofits and research institutions focused on sustainability--to recruit or train volunteers or staff, inspire prospective funders, educate policymakers or get their message out to the media. My vision/life's work informs how I approach each day, as I ask myself in the morning: What steps can I take today to move my vision into the world a bit further? Having this vision for one's life's work is extremely energizing!

The biggest breakthrough I achieved through the program is to get out of my own way and to speak up.
I attribute this directly to the program and mostly to your energy, Lev. Your being authentic and vulnerable, gave me permission to show up as I am. I no longer need to be "perfect."
Before this program, I was not daring to fully express myself. I was still holding back because I was judging myself as not good enough yet, perfect enough, qualified enough, expert enough to express all that I was feeling inside through an online business. I was not allowing myself to apply all of my skills to my life's work - to integrate all of my skills as a business executive, relationship counselor and therapist, energy healer and coach into an expression that had a voice. This program gave me access to my voice.
Now I clearly see how all my life, and its many ups and downs, are part of a larger puzzle that is emerging as a purposeful voice with a message to help connect women to their authentic Self. My mission is to empower women to be free to fully express their purposeful life in their unique creative expression. I am supporting women to shift into an evolutionary stage for life on the planet, instead of relating to life from a more limiting perspective as inherited by traditional cultural conditioning.
Without this course, I would still be trying to be perfect. Thankfully, I did take this course, and I learned to follow my guidance and the ‘energy hits’ that have regularly emerged in my life to put me on the path of my sacred work.
On a practical level, this program helped to clarify my mission and legacy vision. Now, I take my vision seriously, and I don't see every setback as proof that I will never reach it. Something fundamental shifted, and I attribute this to the way the course was structured. You taught us principles and not quick fixes. The program helped me to enroll new clients with continuity package offers, motivated me to create webinar presentations, and gave me the courage to resume blogging because I found my voice in this program, and felt safe to speak up and participate in the group calls.

" I have very much enjoyed the rhythm and structure of the program, and the opportunity to work with such a wonderful group of people who are on similar paths, as well as the combination of deep spiritual wisdom, simple meditative practices and lots of practical assignments. I also love feeling like all of me is honored and engaged in the process. That way each step feels like it is coming from the sacred heart and acting out in the real world."

I was looking for a new path to take my coaching practice further, find a new grounding, and link my service to a cause that was more meaningful. I was trying to find the people to whom I could be of service and the place where I could serve best. I now have a better platform that combines my interests, what I do for fun with my coaching and it is continuing to develop new branches, like a living tree.
What has changed most is my relationship with my body. My health is suddenly a lot more important than before and I see it in a new perspective that allows me to have a new contact with myself in a way that feels more natural. Looking back, its as if I´ve been deaf and numb to my body, most of my life.
I feel that the circle with Lev allowed me to become grounded and speak the truth about myself. The framework that was offered allowed me to access a deeper part of me, a more natural part, which lead me closer to myself. I am now clear about my needs and, therefore, make conscious and empowering choices that are right for me. The context that Lev provides led me to the essential parts of my life, I could do what I'm here for.

You integrate earth and nature based wisdom with very practical real-world skills. I needed the spirituality to support the practical work so that it didn’t feel boring or like homework. It deeply resonated with me. I couldn’t have taken a “business” course otherwise. It would never have occurred to me.

Working with Lev Natan enhanced my ability to see into the future with clarity, grace and excitement. He is a gifted teacher who understands what his students need in order to create a lasting legacy for those yet to arrive. He incorporated many teaching modalities which enhanced my journey of self discovery and vision for my business. If you are ready to be inspired and transformed. I highly recommend you work with Lev Natan.

I was looking for a new path - how to take my coaching business further and find my grounding in what I could offer as a coach. I needed to find the purpose in working with my clients that was more meaningful to myself than just "coaching." I was trying to find the people to whom I could be of service and the place where I could serve best. I feel I´ve gotten a lot closer to just that. I now have a better platform that combines my interests and what I do for fun with my coaching. And, my business is developing new branches. It´s like a tree that is growing from where my inspirational ideas spring forth.

It´s as if the context that Lev provides is leading you to the essential parts of life and yourself so you can do what you´re here for.
