Student and Graduate Testimonials
“Nothing I have ever done has influenced me as profoundly as taking the four-year training with ASOS. Every aspect of my life has been touched, transformed and healed in ways big and small. The classes provided a kind and compassionate space for me to wrestle with the kinds of questions we too seldom allow ourselves to face; and, thanks to a community of kindred souls, I didn’t have to do it alone.” - Beth, New Jersey
“For twenty-five years I have been on a particular quest, and it has been mostly a struggle. Twenty-five years of trying various approaches to help myself, and none of them ever worked. Then Nondual Kabbalistic Healing and I found each other. And because of this remarkable course, I’m navigating my way through a place of darkness and helplessness, seeing and experiencing light and healing for the first time in a quarter century. Jeff Ellias-Frankel and Eileen Marder-Mirman are a teaching match made in heaven. Different from each other, yet utterly complementary, these two teachers lovingly nurture, guide, inspire, instruct, and impart wisdom to their students. I’m not someone who easily signs up for classes of any sort. Making such a commitment triggers dread in me. And all along my journey through this amazing course of study, Eileen and Jeff have allowed me to approach and receive the teaching at my own pace. Nothing is forced. All unfolds very naturally, which astounds me. My class, just about to finish year three, has covered an immense amount of material. Yet, there is always time for everyone to receive and process it in their own way. I seriously cannot recommend this course—and these consummately equipped teachers—highly enough. It/they may well have saved my life, and my gratitude is boundless.” - Maria T., MM New England Conservatory, Musician, Writer
“My experience with NKH has transformed me in such a way that it reveals another facet of life, reality and beauty of relationships every day. Eileen and Jeff, together, lead us in this experience compassionately and in the most supportive way. It is one of the most meaningful journeys in my lifetime.” - Deniz S. PhD, Chemistry
“The training in NKH enters deep, spiritual territory which allows me to heal parts that have been wounded for decades. As a psychologist, I’ve been through so many trainings beyond my PhD. At first, I refused to do one more training! Now, it feels like I wish I had done this 25 years ago. The students form a community because the teachings and the teachers are rooted in the understanding that relationships are a fundamental aspect of reality. Sharing this journey with 23 other people helps battle the sense of aloneness that so many of us carry within. I have always doubted the existence of God, and for the first time in my life, NKH has helped me find divinity and its existence in our shared struggles. I know I’m getting to more profound levels with patients and maybe more importantly, with myself.” - Daniel G., PhD Psychologist, Psychoanalyst
“NKH has profoundly catalyzed my life through experiential awakening. Under the blessed guidance of Eileen and Jeff, I’ve learned a foundational approach to my Self, life, and reality. Through the meditations, practices and healings, I’ve experienced real Knowing.
In the spiritual journey, we hear the truth in many ways. Words encourage us on our path. Various teachers point towards facets of truth. Yet until the Truth is experienced, the truth isn’t really known. Instead, we merely carry a reverberant thought or transient belief.
This school is a measured, deliberate process towards experiencing and understanding truth of Being. The school helped me find spirituality, rather than just seek it.
And with all my Being, I can’t speak highly enough of Eileen and Jeff. They teach merely by their presence. They teach with relentless compassion and kindness, firmness and inspiration. Their care, joy, and love shine through.
I am deeply grateful for NKH, for Jason Shulman for founding and leading the school, for Eileen and Jeff, for my classmates, and for all those who inspired me on this path.” - Mark G., BS Applied Mathematics, MS Engineering Physics
“It is a deeply moving, life changing experience.” - Cary S., MSW
“Eileen and Jeff are the most phenomenal teachers of this sacred work. If you are looking for more happiness and fulfillment then NKH has the tools and concepts that you need.
I have done lots of other trainings and none compare to the depth and wisdom that I can practically integrate into my life. I have been able to accept my reality as it is and do better at holding the conflicting aspects of life which dragged me down. I have more peace.” - Alyse P., MSW
“This is an experience like no other. To open yourself up and reveal your true self while being held with love, acceptance and guidance. Jeff and Eileen are a gift.” - Nicole L., LMT
