Testimonials.

A Transformative Experience.

I had the privilege of attending Motty's retreat in Costa Rica, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the breathtaking beauty of the property —it was the perfect setting for deep reflection and personal growth, it was really beautiful.

The workshop itself was profound and incredibly well-structured. Motty created a safe, supportive space that allowed for true inner work and transformation. His guidance, wisdom, and presence made the journey not only insightful but deeply healing.

One of the most powerful aspects of the experience was the San Pedro medicine journey, which was facilitated with great care and intention. But what truly sets Motty apart is his dedication to integration afterward. He doesn't just guide you through the experience—he ensures that the insights and healing you receive are deeply processed and applied to daily life. True transformation comes from integration, and Motty’s approach makes sure that whatever you learn and experience doesn’t stay as just a momentary realization but becomes a lasting change.

Beyond the workshop, every detail was thoughtfully arranged. The food was absolutely delicious—nourishing in every way and prepared with love. It added to the overall sense of well-being and connection throughout the experience.

But what stands out the most is Motty himself. From the very first day we got to know each other, he has been there for me unconditionally—not just as a coach, but also as a friend. In my hardest times and my best moments, he has always shown up for me in ways that go beyond just coaching. His unwavering support, both personally and professionally, means more to me than words can express.

I walked away from this experience feeling lighter, more centered, and incredibly thankful. Motty, thank you for your kindness, your wisdom, and for creating such a transformative space for growth and healing. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone seeking clarity, connection, growth, and personal evolution.

I walked into the retreat thinking I knew what to expect, but I had no idea how difficult it would be. The silence was heavy, the stillness uncomfortable. My mind resisted every moment, searching for an escape, craving distraction. The hours stretched endlessly, and I felt like I was unraveling.

There were moments I wanted to give up, to walk away from the discomfort, but something kept me there. Maybe it was the quiet hope that there was something on the other side of the struggle. Maybe it was the small voice inside me that whispered, stay.

As the days passed, I realized the struggle itself was the path. Every moment of frustration, every tear, every restless thought - it was all shaping me, forcing me to confront parts of myself I had ignored or buried. I was breaking, but I was also becoming.

And then, almost without realizing it, something inside me shifted. The same silence that had felt unbearable became a space of deep understanding. The discomfort that once seemed like suffering now felt like transformation. I felt a strength rise within me, something raw and unshakable.

I came back stronger than ever, with a masculinity I didn’t even know existed. Not the kind that’s loud or forceful, but the kind that is deeply rooted - resilient, steady, and unshaken. The struggle hadn’t weakened me; it had refined me. What had felt like breaking was actually an opening, a sharpening of who I truly am.

Now, I stand in a better place than I have ever been. Not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I walked into that retreat uncertain, weighed down by things I couldn’t even name. I walked out lighter, stronger, and more sure of myself than ever before. The challenge was real, but the rewards were beyond anything I could have imagined. I didn’t just survive it - I emerged transformed.

But I didn’t do it alone. Motty, Joel, and Basya were and continue to be incredibly supportive. Their presence, their words, and even just their energy carried me in ways I didn’t fully understand at the time. It took me a while to realize just how much I gained from everyone at the retreat. Every conversation, every shared struggle, every moment of quiet solidarity - it all shaped me. Looking back, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. I went in thinking I was alone in my battle, but I walked away with a sense of deep connection, knowing I was supported in ways I never expected.

I am stronger. I am transformed. And I am grateful.

As I finish our sessions with you, I just want to take a moment to express how much I’ve gained from our time together. Over the past year, I’ve grown in ways I never imagined - gaining clarity, strength, and a deeper understanding of myself.

What made this journey so meaningful wasn’t just your guidance, but the personal attention and care you put into every session. You didn’t just listen - you were there with your whole heart, and that made all the difference. I always felt seen, heard, and truly supported.

I am quite literally walking out of this experience as a different person than when we started - to the point that I hardly recognize myself. The change is that profound. And I know I couldn’t have done it without you.

Beyond being a wonderful couch, you’ve felt like a true friend - someone who genuinely wanted the best for me. Thank you for everything you’ve given, and for being such a positive force in my life.

Words are too poor to convey and express what I/we’ve experienced on this retreat, but I’ll use the next best option, words.

The level of transformation, being, enlightenment, trust, safety, and holding that you’ve shown us, helped us experiences, and taught me the way of the heart has transformed me.
