   Charlene, Jan. 2009

RYL helped me with my fears and I learned to embrace vulnerability. Although life does not always happen as you plan it, I learned to feel, fall, and get up again. To Love takes as much energy as to hate, so forgive and love one self. Thank you RYL for allowing me to feel again.

RYL has empowered me to realize that instead of being frustrated & angry with destructive thoughts, that come from time to time, I can embrace them as healthy feelings & choose to release them.
 

   Joe Malinowski, Oct. 2008

RYL is the greatest gift I could have received from anyone. I will cherish the time, words, healing & frienships for the rest of my life.
 

   Rodney Evans, Oct. 2008

Realizing that just 7 months prior I asked for two things - to move to a different city and for a relationship with my sister. I got both!!! I guess it really is as simple as asking for it (setting the intention) and then trusting the process.
 

   Tara

I have never experienced so much love & friendship in one weekend!
 

   Natalie Campbell, Indiana Sept. 2008

Dear Mel,

I knew that RYL would change my life forever. But I didn't know that it would prepare me for one of the most challenging moments in my life. If it wasn't for RYL- two people would be dead right now and I'd be going to prison with a life sentence. Had I not have taken the course- my fate would have been different.

RYL is amazing because no matter what happens you realize that "circumstances do not define who you are". This is a golden key and a pearl of the highest wisdom. And secondly you don't have to stay stuck in the same cycles- you can simply choose to get off the merry-go-round and choose a higher path towards the light.

In addition, I have learned that emotions can be a powerful tool in your skill set that you can transform into powerful energy and use towards good.

And lastly- I am no better than anyone else.

Thanks again. RYL has literally saved my life.


God bless you brother,
 

   Sanders

    Eric Wilson 08/08

Excellent workshop with long term, on-going support. I feel as if I am continually "in line" with the weekend even though it was almost 3 months ago! I am making progress on my goals from the RYL weekend. I am very grateful for my RYL family!
 

   Clare Seng 06/2008

The second time through the course I learned so much. Even more than the first time through!
 

    Zachary Dunphy

Awesome overall experience… nothing like you expect. You really do learn a lot about yourself more in one weekend than you could imagine.
 

    Chelsea

The weekend cleansed my heart and soul. I no longer choose to live in my head but from my heart. Going through the power of intention exercise was the icing on the cake. I can and will redirect my life with the tools I was given this weekend. My class is now my new family, filled with love, joy, and gratitude. Thank you RYL team! You are all truly amazing… See you soon!
 

    Joyce P.

The overall of feeling my inner peace- I can now convey in two words- “I am.” RYL truly allowed me to redirect my life. The body, mind, and soul exercises helped carry me along my path and journey.
 

    Jan, Indiana

This course is sensational. They find a most unique & creative way to tap into & give you a tangible experience that fits exactly your hearts inner most need & desire.
 

    Betsy Burns, Indiana

In one weekend, I was able to break free of all the negativity holding me back. I am leaving with all the tools I need to continue taking charge of my life. This was life-changing.
 

    Ada

As a Life Coach and Personal Development Trainer, I am always open to things I have not yet tried that resonate with me so that I may be a model for my clients and walk my talk. I was introduced to Mel through a networking friend who suggested we meet. I connected instantly with Mel, as everyone does, and before the end of our meeting I decided to check out the information night session the following week. After finding out more about the course, it felt right to sign up for Redirect Your Life (RYL), but I wanted to sleep on it. The next day, it still felt like the right thing to do, so I signed up.

My RYL weekend was a very valuable experience. For me, it felt like a weekend of therapy, coaching, heart-felt cleansing and empowerment all rolled into one. The facilitators for my RYL weekend (Mel and Deb) and all the volunteer Angels helped to make the experience so meaningful. They seemed to intuitively know exactly what would work and how to go about creating positive change.

My fellow students in the course and I came together by no accident. All strangers when we started on Friday evening, we all learned from and helped each other in wonderful ways. I made a couple new and lovely friendships in addition to doing some profound personal growth work. It was the stepping stone I needed at that time on my path.

Shortly after RYL, I also attended the ‘Finding Your Personal Power’ workshop. This is a short and very worthwhile session. I highly recommend both RYL and Finding Your Personal Power. Each is well worth your investment.

What an amazing blessing to have been here this weekend. I walked in sad, unsure, and blaming others for “my” feelings. I will be walking out in two hours knowing that I am one hundred percent responsible for my happiness and for all the relationships in my life. I am secure and strong. I am thrilled to begin experiencing life with my state of mind.

    Heather Kendall

I feel like I have a second chance at my life and I have the knowledge to make sure I have great life now and will not let it go back to the average unhappy life I had before.

    Marquis Cooper

RYL has given me back my identity. Thank you Mel for being a part of my journey!

    Kat Rader

I am so happy that I prioritized my schedule to get here this weekend. My mind has changed and now I know that my life will change. I feel so incredible and recommend this workshop to everyone.

Reframing my past and past experiences to create a new perception of the situation and a new mind.

    Karen Gauthier

I learned to look at myself and my life in a new way.

    Carrie Tholen, February 2008

What I got, I can’t explain, but I feel like I have the tools to do what I have to do.

    T.J. Clibborn, February 2008

I learned how to deal with issues that have followed me my entire life. I am so grateful to RYL for helping bread free from the bondage of old beliefs that don’t serve me!

    Anne Marie, Tampa, February 2008

My wife took this course in August 2007, and I saw such a huge change (in her.) I wanted to experience the same. After the course, I see why these changes occur in all of us.

    Tim Maxwell, February 2008

Great work! Grand Instructors! Glad I went!

    Jane Evanstar, February 2008

This is powerful, enlightening, and life changing. The advertisement of the workshop “Change your mind, Change your life” is powerful and true!! I experienced it first-hand and am better for it! And, I will never be the same….thank God and Mel. At 73 years of age, if I can do it, anyone can!!

    (Frances) Jean O’Keefe, February 2008

I am so happy to reframe my relationship with my mother.  I have made some wonderful friends whom I hope to have for a long time!  I feel lighter and happier.

    Marci, January 2008

I really thought I couldn't be fixed and no one would love me or my junk.  This program cleared all those cobwebs away.  I have never cried so hard in my life, but I am the happiest I've every been.

    Deborah, January 2008

I never thought I'd come out from under the criticism and opinions of my parents, nor from my being responsible for my father's happiness -- and they've been dead for 11 years!  And now I'm free to make my own decisions, live my own life, and stop my former self-sabotage.

    Jan, December 2007

This should be compulsory education!  I got so much knowledge from this course and it wasn't even hard!  Completely life changing!

    Student, December 2007

I honestly did not believe one weekend would make a difference.  It did, and I understand and believe that anything is possible.

    Angela Walker, December 2007

My "ah ha" moment!  I wish I would have come so much sooner!  Life changing!

    Colleen Gillespie, December 2007

When your mind and heart have developed to a higher level (or openness) this course offers every opportunity to move your life where YOU want it to go!

    John Pecora, September 2007

I've spent my whole life trying to figure out my "stuff", and to my amazement what took years to create only took a weekend of love and understanding.

    Kathryn Vila, September 2007

This course taught me to be happy and want to make my family better.

    Veronica Donaldson, September 2007

Great experience!  Mel and Cindy are nothing short of gifted at what they do.  Where have you two been all my life?!  You both are a wonderful gift to all your students.  I highly recommend this course.

    Marianne Woolbert, August 2007

RYL was a wonderfully enlightening experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to make some positive changes in their life.

    Amber Landes, August 2007

Really impressed with the tools to help me overcome worry.

    Bill Engelherdt, August 2007

No notes, notesbooks or study guides.  Just pure love, energy, and guidance that lead to my heart.

    Lucy Chapman, August 2007

RYL helped me to love me.

    Morgan Smith, July 2007

Do It!

    Enge Mitchell, July 2007

There is no way one could not benefit from this weekend of self exploration.

    Adam A., June 2007

RYL has changed my life forever.  Attitude is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.  That is what I learned!

    Renee C., June 2007

RYL is an amazing experience that forces you to face your issues and devise solutions.

    Casey M., June 2007

I was recently widowed and felt I was alone. After attending an RYL course, I reconnected to people and to my own life. Although my circumstances didn't change, my perceptions of them did. As a result, I found peace and contentment.

    Phyllis Sink, President
    Touched by Angels, Inc.

My experience with RYL has made a major difference in my life. I was able to achieve inner peace through the "magic" of unconditional love and support. I have gained the tools and insight to live a happier, more fulfilling life. I am eternally grateful.

   Joel Thompson
   Sales/Marketing Executive

Thank you for the positive, life-changing effect that the RYL course has inspired in my life and in the lives of my clients. All of us are experiencing positive life changes as a result. I recommend this course to everyone....it's a gift you will give to yourself. Thank you for making this course available.

   Debbie Cohen, Founder
   Success Coaching Institute

As a senior sales executive of over 20 years, I have been through "all the courses" from Robbins to Ziglar, to you name it. I have also done the "therapy thing" (over 3 years worth). After all this, I can truly say that I got more out of a single weekend of RYL than all those other programs combined. RYL is a life changing experience.

    Tom Elgin
    Risk Management Solutions Specialist
    D&B Corporation

RYL changed my life! It taught me that all I had to do was change my mind in order to change my life. I learned that life is a choice and I could struggle through it or embrace it, by looking at my past as a gift that got me to where I am today. I left the course on Sunday night with no shame, no guilt and love for myself that I never had experienced before.

    Peggy Gould
    Surgical Technician

I woke up this morning (the day after taking RYL) and looking into the mirror.. I looked into my eyes and for the very first time I saw my soul'and it was beautiful...I felt love for me...I felt passion for me...I knew I was in love with me..' Looking into my own eyes was a beautiful thing' I did not have to turn away or feel uncomfortable ' I am home' I am at Peace'.

    Brian Webster, May 2004

I'm 57. Why in hell did it take this long' I've just spent a weekend with 48 dear friends, and 3 of those just cleared my head of all thoughts of those nights or days spent in heaven in someone's arms, or was I dreaming' I took some flowers to the young girl who sent me to you. Thank God no one was there, trying to say 'thank you'. I couldn't hear myself talk. I handed her the flowers and called her an hour later.

I feel so damn calm, not like I'm off to war. Being vulnerable can be a great strength. (I think I heard that somewhere.) When you go into a situation with your hands open, you're not a threat, and that's where I'm at now. I now have tools to deal with whatever happens. And if it does not work, nobody is pissed and I try again. We don't want the whole world to know this great secret we discovered this past weekend, because who would we practice on'

Amy asked how my weekend went, I said just '' great''. We talked for a while and then I tried to hand Amy some of my love notes, and I got that unable to talk feeling. I want to be able to tell her about each one, so I'll show them to her later.

I wish I had written everyone a love note. All my love notes are going into one of my wooden humidors. I don't smoke, but I like the big wooden boxes. This is where I store all my best treasures. Once a month or so I get one of the boxes out and I go over everything in it. I will have these boxes till I die, and I will be reading your love notes all my life. I want to tell you I never felt more cared for in my life than I did this past weekend. And, if anyone wants to send me a bill, you can.

I know that we will never ever have that same group together again, and I would give a lot more hugs and write a lot more love notes if I could. I'd like to send Joey and Amy to you for '' Life Proofing'' and I'd love for my Angels to help them, like they helped me. You can't believe how much I trust all of you just to be able to say that. And, if they agree, you'll meet two of the neatest kids I know.

To my heart mates'..'don't slow down now. Just fill that rut up and pave over it with gold bricks, silver bars or, what I like best, some good oak flooring.

   Joe Miles, May 2004

Thank you for RYL. Taking the course has literally changed my life. Prior to my course, I was distant, not allowing others to "get close" to me, along with other self-defense mechanisms. Finding my self in a trusting, loving and "safe" atmosphere all weekend, I broke through, and saw how my previous life's experiences were used to develop a belief system that simply did not work. Mel and Cindy, thank you for your kindness, your love, and your dedication to all of us. We love you.

   Vic Pattison, May 2003

As far back as I can remember I have been a left-brained, rational, scientific, 'show me' kind of person. My January 2004 RYL weekend "showed me". Mel and Cindy have 'structured' and unstructured, comfortable, safe environment in which a person can shed the fa'ade that 'everything's peachy keen' and explore all avenues without judgment, proselytizing or mumbo jumbo psycho babble.
I came out of the course molecularly different, no longer subject to certain triggers that have haunted me for years. Rest assured I have many more triggers to deal with, yet I feel, or more importantly I know, I am capable of having the tools necessary to disarm these triggers. That in itself would have been worth the price of the course. What I wasn't ready for, and could never have paid for, was the network of honorable, trustworthy, intelligent, evolved, capable, loving humans that want to help me fill my 'tool belt'. I am honored to know them all, and know with certainty that I will be back.

   Lucretia B. Palamara, Tax Accountant

RYL taught me about my belief systems, where they came from, and how they subconsciously created the results in my life. Every area of my life is directed by what I decided about myself and others a long time ago. I learned to look at those decisions compassionately and saw that they were not only assumptions and irrational, but more importantly, that I could change them by making different decisions. Instead of holding the people and events of my past as hostage, I learned to see the gifts and lessons, releasing them, and, more importantly, myself as hostage. As soon as I made different decisions, my feelings and behaviors changed automatically. The responses from others in my life changed to what I am seeking: connectedness and intimacy. I am also using the RYL lessons in my relationship. We decided to set a vision for how we want our relationship to be. I don't know how and when lessons will show up, but with wanting love as the highest outcome, all interactions are set to maintain that vision.
Recognizing where my sensitive spots and defenses come from allows me to live an examined life where I choose to heal rather than continue destructive patterns. This means continuing to be rigorously honest with myself and the "stuff" that makes me react. RYL gave me the tools and language to explore and express myself clearly. Just as important for me with RYL was the magic created by the safety of the instructors and assistants. This sacred space allows for immediate healing and breakthroughs. The energy created by the love of the participants sets in motion a process that I have never seen duplicated anywhere else. The RYL experience cannot be recreated in therapy, support groups, self help books or other forms of self discovery. If you identify any area of your life that you want to make better, there is a money back guarantee that you will succeed in one weekend. RYL is a gift to yourself and you deserve to be happy and free of suffering. Let go and let RYL change your life!!

   Kathy Gardner (September 2003)

I am 42 years old and had been struggling with self acceptance and major issues in my life. Mel and Cindy and the rest of the group provided a safe environment to express some of my most deeply buried emotions, and a way to heal the damage that bottling up those emotions had done. I had been in therapy before and while helpful, one weekend accomplished what 3 years and $3,000+ of therapy could not. The experience was extraordinary and truly life enhancing and love affirming. It is the best time and money I have ever spent. If you are ready to change your life for the better, I highly recommend the RYL experience.

    Dale Ann Masker, Financial Advisor

I feel we helped each other in ways I don't fully understand. I found myself smiling while driving to work the week afterward - for no good reason except that maybe I let go of some of my pain and the real me is beginning to surface again. The incredible part is that it has been buried for almost 20 years and I really felt that the die was cast. It is nice to know that things can happen that I used to think were cast in stone. Maybe it was Friday night that opened my mind to the power of the mind over the body."

"Being in education, I've begun to figure out why so many of our teachers cannot do a good job. The key to a good teacher is the ability to empower students with a positive sense of their own abilities and a responsibility to never sell themselves short. So many teachers do not believe in themselves as teachers and therefore have defeated themselves before day one. I've learned that we can do anything if we free our minds to believe in ourselves. I'm working on them. Thanks again for your support and tell the people you love that you do.

   Mark Jones, Education

Hi, I was so glad to see that you have a Web page. I am writing to share about my dear friend Mel Fergenbaum. Anyone interested in taking RYL should know that you can trust Mel totally to make a profound difference in your life. Through Mel I met Cindy who also is powerful and full of compassion. I would trust Mel with my life, so needless to say I would and do recommend this course to anyone interested in making an impact in improving their lives. I did the Course with my husband John and volunteered two times (too few) to be in the loving space. This is a gift to yourself, you have nothing to lose and much to gain.

After being in and out of therapy for the last 26 years, and getting nowhere, I have to say that what I experienced in just one weekend through RYL was the most powerful experience I have ever had. The unconditional love that I felt for mankind when I left on Sunday night can never be taken away from me. Do yourself a favor and give yourself the greatest gift you'll ever receive. Redirect Your Life !!

     Dee Wishart, Florida Veterinary Specialist/receptionist

When I was a kid I felt things on a deep level and was very empathetic. At that age though I did not understand what was going on. After taking RYL and assisting in RYL I have been able to understand my gifts and utilize them to help other people. I realized that through my life I have had joyful experiences and heartaching experiences and with each experience I am able to give back to the world in some way. Meeting so many different people in RYL has been a true gift. I have found true "Soul Mates" in this community and I know they will always be a part of my life! Life for me is a huge puzzle never knowing where I will find another piece. RYL is a huge piece of my puzzle and I am forever grateful that Mel & Cindy made the commitment to the community to Make Things Happen with RYL! Thank you both!
