TESTIMONIALS

We believe that there are no better ambassadors than happy and satisfied clients. We are very proud to share what our ALIVE guests have to say about their experiences with us and the impact our trips have had on their lives.

"It allowed for me to break down barriers. I was able to leave something heavy behind that I was carrying for many years. It allowed for clarity, focus, freedom, love, for me to be alive, awake, and in control.”
***Maziar Ahanin***

"This was an eye opening, awakening experience. There were well-planned adventure activities and speakers. Great accommodations and food and an accommodating and attentive host. Thank you to Zark Fatah for a memorable experience. Forever grateful."

"The Alive Experience was an incredible week, connecting with an amazing group of inspiring humans. Sometimes in life, it’s important to take a break from the hustle, reconnect with nature, try new adventures and become more self-aware to live a more purposeful and fulfilled life."
***Justin Golshir***

“I had such a wonderful week. I’ll cherish it forever. The impact it has left me with is, to do my best to incorporate beautiful moments like those we had in Costa Rica, throughout my life as regularly as I can – from the smallest of ways to the most adventurous ways.”
***Kelly Alberto***

Cari is the mother of 3 young children, a loving wife, and a successful realtor. Many would think she has it all however, she felt something was missing. She chose to join the ALIVE Experience to step out of her comfort zone and discover what else life has to offer her.

This is a story about a successful CEO who knew something was missing. Even though most would say he "has it all", he knew there was more. David was looking for his purpose, he wanted to discover what was next for his.

This courageous woman showed us all what it truly means to be alive. In 2017 Donna suffered a very serious stroke that left her with limited mobility. Through months and months of perseverance, and the loving support of her son, Donna was able to join this experience and inspire us all with her strength and passion for adventure.

Do you want to be a better dad, a better son, a better person...?" This powerful question is what motivated Kesar to take a big step out of his comfort zone. He chose to join us for the Love & Relationships retreat to take on a major transition in his life.

Anne-Marie joined our trip to Bali to lead her workshop on Conscious Creating and discover what Bali had to offer. Her experience gave her everything she hoped for and so much more. During our trip, she reconnected with her inner child and discovered what it meant to play and have fun again. She learned so many valuable lessons and was not only a teacher but also a student.

I joined the Alive experience in a last minute twist of fate and quickly realized that this opportunity was precisely what I needed.
Every person I met there had deeply personal and compelling reason to participate and although we met as total strangers, we finished the retreat as a genuine family.

The week was filled with personal development workshops that inspired and encouraged us to unpack our suitcases of personal baggage. It was challenging to truly learn what lies beneath our appearances, our assumptions and our beliefs but all helped each other and grew together. We made genuine connections in a judgment free zone that allowed us to share our deepest fears, emotions and most private experiences.

To top it up, our time together was packed with thrilling adrenaline pumping activities that pushed us past our fear thresholds, took our breath away and made us feel…ALIVE!

This trip impacted my life in more ways that I could’ve ever imagined. But it was also the people that I was with that made this impact even bigger. I feel like I brought with me a support system that I didn’t have before.

I have implemented meditation every morning and I can see the improvement with my mental and emotional clarity. I’ve added life management skills to achieve weekly goals. I also decided to become more minimalistic and it has already taken so much off my shoulders. The way I think and talk about things is more positive and If I start thinking of something negative I immediately notice it and change it into something positive.

Saying no was something hard for me to do before and now I have the strength to do such thing, it has already led me to a path that will help me achieve what I want in life. In the end this trip gave me the tools and courage to make the changes I was afraid of making, It gave me the mental clarity I needed to have a vision of my future and purpose in life.

When the idea of joining this trip first came out – I was a little apprehensive as this was completely out of my comfort zone. After my initial call with Zark , I started to believe this trip would help set me on the right path.

Having returned , I can honestly say this was one of the best trips and investment I have made. Where to start? Nosara is truly a magical place, sunsets were second to none and the perfect back drop to completely zone out and focus on self-discovery, past and present relationships. This trip exposed me to resources I normally would not have used such as yoga , meditation , journaling and the coaches helped me to see things clearly in all aspects of my life.

I have received a lot out of this experience, I approach things different . I am more confident and positive. This is all from all the workshops and tools I was given. I got great feedback from the rest of the group - they also helped me see things clearly.

Lastly I am grateful to meet such a great group of people, who will always be in my heart

Since I’ve been back I’ve definitely been more relaxed, positive and not stressed. Yoga starts my day every morning and I’m even looking at healthier meals since our chef was so amazing. This trip gave me the adventure I craved. I love pushing my boundaries, being physical and seeing new things. Every day was an adventure. Not once did I feel bored or want to be somewhere else. I was super present there and here now. Thank you for including me in the ALIVE Experience!

I feel that after the age of 30 it’s super challenging to develop new, deep friendships. With the circumstances of life being so busy and having other relationships we don’t make time for it and it becomes very challenging. I joined the Alive Experience to step outside of my boundaries and have the opportunity to meet complete strangers that are deeply passionate about wellness, personal development, health and adventure.

I’ve had so many key awesome memories from this trip. The highlights would be the deep personal connections, the stories, the bonding, the understanding. It really powerfully hit me when I was standing underneath this waterfall and I could feel the force of nature all around me and the love all around me from these people who really cared about me and what I’m doing with my life. It was just a really emotional and positive experience.

These words can’t do it justice.

The Alive Experience was such a unique, transformative and unforgettable travel experience. I met the most amazing group of people who I now call friends. I never thought a group of strangers would impact my life the way they did. Every activity we did each day fulfilled a part of my life that was missing. I got to not only face my fears but also overcome them. The food we had was so delicious and healthy!

The Alive team always made sure we had snacks for our adventures and we were satisfied with everything. I could sit here and type forever about how amazing this was and if I could give it more stars I would. They make you feel comfortable and safe. I learned so much from the workshops we had and from the group of people I was with. Things that I’ve now implemented in my life and has already helped me get on track to achieve what I want in life.

Thanks to this trip I found guidance and a purpose in my life, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
