They Said It, Not Me

“Saddhabodhi is a teacher who straight up tells you, he’s not going to teach you anything. Yet at the same time he is one of the finest teachers I have ever encountered in my life. He is a gentle, perceptive soul and his presence alone is deeply felt. His courses have fundementally changed my life for the better and I am forever grateful for crossing paths with him.”

This beautiful human meets people with special empathy and radical acceptance. There is easy-going and welcoming atmosphere around him. He has child like curious energy, safe and bubbling. Saddhabodhi seems to know how hard and especially how fun it is to be human. He has intuitive wisdom and he is wise enough to say ”I don’t know.” He also cooks delicious food. I don’t know if he is cooking to participants anymore now when he is ordinated monk.

“If you have the opportunity to attend a meditation retreat led by Saddhabodhi, take it. His many years as a Gestalt therapist brings with it a depth of presence, grounded in experience. He has an eye for grasping precisely what is relevant in the moment. In a group setting, he listens beyond the noise, spotting subtle shifts and core dynamics that others might miss. Rather than offering canned wisdom, he meets you exactly where you are, gently guiding you back to present-moment awareness with remarkable clarity and intuition.”

Saddhabodi has been a gentle and safe companion, with whom it has been possible to free myself from the suffering that has been limiting my life. I have been seen and accepted at my most vulnerable by both Saddhabodi but also the group. Those experiences have been life-changing for me. In addition, we have had a lot fun along with all the hard work. I am forever happy that I I found my way to Saddhabodi’s therapy and forever greatful for everything we have been experienced in those sessions.”

At the retreat, Saddhabodhi’s gentle presence and unhurried way of meeting me seemed to bring time to a standstill, opening into an eternal moment where I could rest in love.

His unconditional acceptance carried me through my pain, from a heavy burden to freedom—to the lightness of simply being. I warmly recommend him.

Saddha was the first therapist who was able and willing to witness my visceral, non-verbal pain of the early trauma. His ability to stay present, steady and compassionate was so groundbreaking that I keep on using the image of him as an inner resource in my trauma work.

These are some of the best ones.

Apparently:

“I spent some time with Saddhabodhi, and somehow I became a little kinder, a little quieter, and a little less busy fighting with life.”
