I have just completed the 5 day ascension course after doing a similar course approximately a year ago. As with last year the results and impact have been truly enlightening. Erik’s ability to deal with all issues raised from a basis of integrity as opposed to ego and from a basis of compassion and a desire to see people grow and ascend is what makes these courses so powerful.

The energy raised within the group was very high and enabled issues to come to the surface that would otherwise have remained hidden. It also ensured the meditations were far deeper than what can be achieved in isolation. Many of us commented on how the meditations and the effect of the music with Erik were so strongly felt when compared with similar meditations or the same music at home, which just can’t produce the same effects. Ulla’s pictures are a big part of this and being surrounded by such beauty and energy, which continually drew my eyes to them, was an uplifting experience.

Erik’s abilities to read aura’s and to see clearly, enables you to get to the true meaning within dreams and issues raised, which means that the impact is deeply felt and has a clear ringing of truth. I received many aha moments in areas that I believed I had well and truly dealt with. It is two days later and I can still feel the effects and changes occurring within me as I type this and expect these to continue into the future.

Thank you again Erik for sharing your ability and to Ulla for your paintings and the sustenance you provide!

" I have never been a "group" person and have enjoyed working with Erik on a one to one basis.I realy felt I could do with another challange and give the paint workshop a "go". I can't draw very well, and making a painting was, I thought a real big deal!
It was a big deal, I can say now, but not from a painting point of view!
My painting is just fine, and it all went smooth, what has really surprised me is that so much work was done inside me, and the group has supported me so much (without words),
It was all just a perfect energie, and caring from compleet strangers, but all with similar goals, working on ourselfs, searching for that something!, Well, I have found it and I have had a good laugh and…a good cry, but I feel refreshed and wiser!…and the painting you take home at the end, so you can work with it whenever you want,…. and relive the moment"

Re The Death and Dying Certificate Course:

The constant refrain during these timeless teachings on death and dying is the question: "Will you see or sleep?"

What impacts upon me at a deep inner devotional level is the divine love permeating this question and the achingly loving invitation to respond, through meditation and right living, to the love in cosmos.

Learning, whilst living in the womb of Mother Earth, to surrender to the ultimate truth in'this' context, is the art of living in light enabling one to die in light. This pathway to unity is illuminated in the death and dying course.

Hi there Erik and Ulla, I found this so incredibly fascinating and almost familiar in some way. It was strange that I had no fear attached but genuine want to be able to do it so that I can be a part of doing my bit to create a better existence for all. I guess if we were to heal all those that have died or dying then they would come back far more peaceful souls which in turn will make for a much more peaceful place for all. Thank you for all your wonderful and amazing work. Much love to you all from all of us here. Xo


Mandy Peyton

I have been participating in Starbridge workshops since 1991, have completed the Diploma course, and had many consultations with Eric and Ulla along the way.

Their approach has been deeply transformational for me over the years and I still find their workshops in particular to facilitate profound levels of meditation and awareness. Their compassionate and insightful support has been invaluable to me, and their integrity has always been of a very high level.


MAF

Prior to workshop my question was how can I be of “help” in this climate of world “chaos”.

The answer or one answer is participation in workshop such as this where very profound exercises and meditations for both personal and collective transformation are developed to specifically address any issues as they arise.

The symbols used are deeply transformative, the experience of this workshop quite wondrous.

Thank you for the privilege.

Recognition of long standing habits and conditions and tools to work with them.

Recognition of the universality of our problems and how, working with our own dharma can help uplift others.

Upliftment in troubled times. Reinforcing faith in how we can cope.


L. Scacco

As always with Starbridge courses, this one has been a powerful experience.

Before starting I had no idea of what issues would surface and as always have been surprised yet again by what did come.

I love the seeming simplicity (yet profoundly powerful) way that Erik works which always shows that no matter where you start all roads lead home.

The course provides a unique way of working on one’s own spiritual development in a group setting and also provides a meditative process that is simple yet powerful.

The process was challenging, had depths and I felt a definite progress and growth in myself.

Sometimes material felt repetitive however.

The Ascension course was excellent, it is highly relevant to do for individual and the collective in these times.

I have worked with Erik & Ulla on and off for a number of years. In that time I have also experienced a change in their way of working.Part of this is facilitated by Ulla's pictures achieved through meditative processes, by both Erik and Ulla. These pictures energetically allow an exploration of one's psyche to a depth and a breath that I have not experienced before.Moreover, rather than a long, repetetive, monotoneous drawn out process of analysis, i.e., continuously rehashing victim experiences, Erik's recent way of facilitating I would describe more like a laser; focused, deep, precise: spot on. It is the emphasis away from pathology that allows for a quickening and a greater healing and transformational process to occur.For myself I have appreciated the spiritual and personal growth that this new way of working has provided. Furthermore as a therapist it has enabled me to view my own therapeutic skills with a new appreciation and application.Vishuddhi

Dear Ulla & Erik
Upon reflection, I feel the benefit of the painting workshops is much greater than I first thought. The effect seems to be deeper and long lasting. I can say each painting workshop has created a marked shift in me personally and spiritually. I feel both the painting and the ascension workshops have helped me to gain deep insight, wisdom and inner strength. As a result, I feel I am living a much more meaningful life - doing what I can in practicing and promoting genuine love,compassion and wisdom. As I am writing, my heart feels very glad and grateful for the teaching and the experience you both offer in the workshops.
With deep gratitude and blessings.


Cara Britton

We live in troubled times, It is courses like Ascension that helps us stand firm in the midst of this, with a strong commitment to right living, a raised consciousness and an acknowledgement of our true Spiritual nature.
As our Ascension teacher, Erik Sandersen gently but firmly guides us through an eventful journey where the past personal issues are lovingly dealt with and the path cleared for Higher Consciousness.
His use of exercises, discussion, meditation and contemplation on music and transformative cosmic symbols, enables us to live our lives with a new clarity and a wish to assist others.

I highly recommend this course.


Gunta Caldwell

There was depth and wisdom to the workshop that I haven’t experienced before.

The energy of the workshop gradually built up over several days – this helped enormously in achieving what I had set out to explore. The peak of the workshop brought clarity to my issues. The cosmic symbols helped me to address these issues, expanded my awareness, gave me tools with which to work both in the workshop and personally. As always Erik conducted the workshop with deep integrity.

Thank you.

I found the experience to be:

  • Extremely Self empowering.
  • Freeing – an excellent way to continue working with the symbols from now on to free up negative attitudes and experiences built up earlier in life.
  • It’s a deeply life changing and transforming experience.
  • I particularly like the emphasis on helping us to recognise and own our own qualities. This helps to make energy shift much more easily and positively.

I found this course gave me practical spiritual guidelines as to how to take responsibility for the present condition of life on this planet to the extent that I am able. This both on an individual level and in combination with the energy of the others in the group. The group energy was skilfully harmonized by Erik. I now feel less helpless in the face of the catastrophes manifesting or threatening to manifest on Earth.


Margaret Fankhauser

One can feel impotent when faced with the death of a friend or loved one, hearing of the death of a person or of a mass catastrophe on the news. Instead of dwelling on the grief, Ulla’s paintings and the instructions for the meditations on them, can empower you to help those who have died, or are near death. I have found the Course very helpful in this manner.


D.C

This is a very powerful, self empowering experiential course. I feel I can now really acknowledge and appreciate my own qualities.

As a result, I feel stronger and more grounded.

I am sure the influence of this course will continue help to transform my outlook in life.
