I have known Marc and have been his student for going on 5 years. When I first heard Marc speak, I was on a “quest” to find and connect with someone who would help me with my important mission—the mission of seeing to it that Thomas Hanna’s healing work would be practiced by more and more people. I felt strongly that God had called me to ensure that this would happen. I KNEW the power of this work because it had “saved” my life on several occasions.
I had been on this quest for a number years and had tried a number of different avenues that all led to dead ends.
However, the minute I heard Marc speak–I KNEW he was the one who would help me. Every word he said struck a spiritual chord with me. One thing he said was that “we are stuck in old paradigms.”
That was exactly what I was looking for because Hanna Somatics is a new powerful healing paradigm that will lead mankind into a dramatically more healthful future.
After attending a couple more of his workshops, I really learned even more about what he is all about–LOVE, UNDERSTANDING, RESPECT and spiritual genius. I genuinely respect him as a teacher and leader because he doesn’t place himself above his students. In fact, I felt as though he lifted me up and saw the best in me so that I could share my gifts. I am sure that he does that with his other students as well. What a wonderful feeling not to be a SOLO anymore but to be a member of this wonderful, marvelous SYMPHONY that is the leading edge of revolutionary/evolutionary positive change.
