Where: Holiday Inn- Univercity Center, Gainesville, Florida, USA Testimonies Dhira Govinda Prabhu's practical two-day seminar on "Life Skills" was both educational and enjoyable for Canadian ISKCON Leaders as well as future leaders who attended. They all requested a sequel. Bhakti Marga Swami Thank you for this course. For me it was inspiring and interesting how you put it within a Krsna Conscious framework. I have a view that your course should be an integrated part within the training and teaching of our leaders, preachers, managers, etc. Smita Krsna Maharaja I wish to again THANK YOU for your Mayapur seminar entitled Vaisnava Minister Couseling Course. Attending it was a highlight of my Indian pilgrimage; Vishakha and I found ourselves repeatedly discussing its merits. Yamuna Devi Dasi- Saranagati Not only did you present knowledge on specific skills, but you also gave knowledge that improves and empowers our overall state of consciousnessÉI will definitely recommend this course to others. It was structured and presented better than any of my college courses. Karl Delaney- UF Student I feel that the listening and counseling skills presented, as well as the personal-transformation tools, are essential for anyone acting in a pastoral role, guiding others and caring for their spiritual life. Such skills should be considered the sine qua non for any congregational director. Carlo Oppecini- Editor, Congregational Preaching Journal I truly enjoyed the personal transformation life skills workshop. I know these skills will only serve to enhance my work with clients and relationships with my family. Norma Rivera BSW--social worker This training provided me the opportunity to learn skills that will enable me to help others, and to gain many spiritual realizations.
