“I thought Ultimates 1-5 were mind-blowing, but 6-9 are taking me to a whole new level of being and of seeing all beings. Words do not do the Ultimates justice since they are a syncing and elevating of mind, body and spirit that simply must be experienced to be understood. They plug you straight into source and bring a love, strength, joy, clarity and peace that I have never known otherwise in this existence. Thank you, Delta and Cal!”
- Meredith Locher, Huntington Beach, California

“I came to this training both for professional and personal development. As a CPHI, I feel it is my responsibility to keep as current as possible in my training, and this was the next logical step. Personally, it was time to give my 7th Path™ practice a proverbial shot in the arm. This class fully rejuvenated not only my 7th Path™, but also poured me one on so I could fill back up, better than ever. The question arose about class timing, and I wanted to say that, intense though 2 days maybe, it is exactly right. I still feel like I want more direction on suggested fees and class structures, but the discussion gave me at least a good start. I am looking forward to amplifying my 7th Path™ teaching when I get home and as the year unfolds.”
- Anne Shuman Urban, Wilmington, Delaware

“This is amazing. I know the true benefits are near and yet far away. Thanks for helping me thru a very trying time in my life. I now know and feel the path I am supposed to be on.

- Heather Hayward, Pacific Palisades, California

“I knew this would be as good or better than 7th Path™ Full form, but I was not prepared for the shift which I received. If a spiritual path is like a stairway up, I not only advanced many steps but perhaps a couple of flights. I can't wait to do 6-9 Ultimates.”
- Loren Gifford, Menomenie, WI
