| ENDORSEMENTS FOR THE QUEST |
- William Bloom, author of The Endorphin
Effect and Soulution - The Holistic Manifesto
The Quest is a serious, effective and
intelligently structured approach to spiritual development for
mature enquirers. I admire and am inspired by it.
- Tom Cook is an artist, a director of The Alternatives
programme at St James's Church, Piccadilly, London and an Honorary
Trustee of the Findhorn Arts Foundation, Scotland
The Quest belongs alongside the dictionary
or thesaurus as ready reference to the possibilities of spiritual
connection in the same way that a dictionary and thesaurus help
to find a word or develop an idea. It is guide that provides practical
tools enabling us to explore the positive possibilities that the
holistic approach to life offers in an increasingly fragmented
and materialistic world.
I believe The Quest is equally effective
for individuals, community groups and families for the exploration
of personal development, social awareness and spiritual consciousness.
As well as having sound professional credentials for the materials
that are used, the exercises contained in The Quest are easily
accessible and can be a much fun to do as they are revealing and
profound in their deepest meaning.

Centre, Inverness, Scotland
I now know I have a soul – The Quest...Exploring
A Sense Of Soul is a stimulating and effective way to grow on
all levels of being for those exploring some of the core questions
of life: it encourages a widening and deepening understanding
of s/Self, the sacred in the everyday life of the world and our
interconnection on all levels of being - in fact what spirituality/Soul
is all about. It works well for group sharing as well as for the
individual.

The Quest…Exploring A Sense
Of Soul is an apt title and description of the content of this
book. The book is a very comprehensive guide to spiritual development
and personal change that is relevant for the 21st Century. The
book explores the richness of the spiritual processes from many
faith traditions and nature mysticism in a manner that makes
them accessible to individuals and groups exploring their own
spiritual orientations and practices.
The book is one of the best examples I have seen in the personal
development self-help movement, with a holistic and pragmatic
approach and lots of simple, yet profound exercises to engage
the enthusiast. I intend to recommend it as essential reading
on the Spiritual Development and Facilitation programme I run
at the University of Surrey, UK.

“The Quest is a wonderful self-reflective
study course. I like the way it offers a clear structure for
learning and for change. Primarily, The Quest
offers a method for uncovering the deep thoughts, values and
motivations that help shape who we are. The Quest works
for personal and for group learning.
For those looking for clarity about their soul purpose,
The Quest approach provides methods, practice
techniques and readings to help individuals to reveal their
true self. Taking the course to a deeper level one can also
gain insight about living in a way that honours one’s
true purpose in life.
Most of all, I like the respectful way that the material has
been put together. It values diverse contributions, without
imposing any one particular approach to finding spirit, soul;
or whatever one may call the motivational force that may guide
the way in which we live our life.
The Quest came at the right time
for me; it offered a deeply reflective and personal experience.
I found I could dip in and out of it to look at issues that
were important at the time, rather than observe a set order
of learning. I have used it intermittently for the last two
years in my personal life and for working with colleagues.
I can’t speak highly enough of the material, if you are
ready for a spiritual journey, for asking deep questions about
who you are, what values drive you, if you are searching for
meaning and purpose to become central to your work and personal
life, The Quest is for you.

The Quest promises to be a transformative
journey for the reader who is prepared to commit themselves
to an exploration of their own well being and sense of meaning
and purpose. The Quest not only supports
the reframing of the personal challenges we face, but enables
us to find our own style of spirituality - one which is uniquely
our own - and universally fulfilling. For the sincere student
of life, The Quest will provide a systematic, safe
wholesome experience. I wholeheartedly recommend The
Quest.
