Testimonials

First Thank you so much to Flora for a life changing weekend. I want to reach out to form a circle , to slide, slide, slide across the floor, to keep the white crane energy flowing through us. I can at least in my mind´s eyes and in that place deep inside that says: Silat, Silat , Silat. Yesterday, I went to my gym and went into exercices thinking it would take may be 15 minutes to go through what I remenbered and 50 minutes later I was finished. Ann

I made an intention to go deeper, opening and soften. Flora facilated this with all of the other women in the class providing a safe and warm environment. I love Silat. Flora is gracious and inspiring as a teacher. I look forward to following her for further training. Kate

Unsually I am awkward, off balance, very internally competitive, and easily fatigued.Today I did some Silat exercices and relaxed my breathing and I felt the most peaceful I have ever felt since a long time. Flora showed me the way. Richard (Esalen)

It is interesting how different moves pull out different forces out of you, or how your energy or emotion can go different way depending on what movement you are repeating. I have been enjoying kicks, rolls and punches and still struggle with Kwan Yin(which , I have to admit, reflects my struggle with mercy, compassion and other “divine Mother” aspects). Maria

Thanks again for being such a patient and gracious teacher. I enjoyed your workshop immensely. Kaitee

Thank you so much for the wonderful workshop at Esalen - I am deeply grateful for the experience. It's a huge gift to my life to know some martial arts. I continue to practice much of the silat excercises and forms you gave to us, and always feel better afterwards. Sometimes I practice for only a short time, or pick one or two things to do. Like kicking, or the basej (did I spell that right?), or punches. Michelle

I love the workshop. I love working with Flora. The weekend was a personal bonding and powerful blossoming experience for women. Flora leads the group with grace. I love watching others and experiencing my own personal improvements over the weekend. Mika

Excellent. Worth the long trip from M.N.! Gretchen
