Of the 150 participants who were polled, the self-assessment of their collapse awareness evidenced substantial growth. Initially rated at 6.5 out of 10 at the start of the course, this awareness surged to an impressive 8.8 out of 10 after completing the course. Furthermore, participants’ levels of acceptance regarding collapse also showed significant improvement, with pre-course ratings at 5.1, which notably increased to 8.0 post-course.
Before signing up for the RAFC course, I spent about a year reading articles and books, listening to conversations with Michael Dowd as well as podcasts like Breaking Down Collapse. It was a time of great learning and great sorrow as I took all of this information in and realized the weight of it all. It was then that I discovered this course. It was amazing that it was offered as a free program. The course is so well thought out and put together. Some of the material was familiar and much of it was new but it was good to be able to integrate it all over the 9 weeks of the course. The best part was that you had a chance to process the information with other people in smaller break out rooms which allowed for more sharing and space to process. I did not feel as alone as I had when I was learning on my own. I highly recommend this course.
I find the pre-session material absolutely great! I am very very very thankful and wish I have more hours in my life to check on them deeply. I hope I´ll do it this summer vacation.
The material about collapse was critical, but it was the work on inner resilience that was most important. I see us inviting people into a process of personal and spiritual growth. Having a buddy was an important gift, while having a community to grapple with the feelings and issues that surfaced along the way. I am passionate to share this course with others. The quality of the course was breathtaking! Deep gratitude to you all! I also loved how you empowered participants to engage as openers and session facilitators.
I am amazed at how the Course Developers sifted through galaxies of material to condense and distill such challenging issues and realities into something manageable each week. Bravo/a to you all. You have given an immeasurable gift to our community. And it was a real display of your belief in the wisdom of each individual that you handed the ball over to each of us collectively to come to our own conclusions and experience of the material. The fact that you three simply sat with us without commenting on our opinions and discoveries and allowed each person to process at their own pace is a sign of what gifted teachers you are. I am enormously grateful.
Your course in resilience is so rich and it so elegantly provides a wide array of resources in one place for deep-diving into the (d)evolving world situation and for making transformative change at the cellular level – both individual and collective. I cannot believe how much I have learned, absorbed, felt, and grown – and all in 7 weeks. I can feel the care and love you have all put into it. I am deeply grateful for it and to you.
