That mountain is a special place. I was told so beforehand, but I didn't believe it until I set my eyes on it. It is the most beautiful natural environment I have ever seen. My feeling is that since it's so high and relatively untouched, you are still able to feel God's fingerprints in everything that is up there. My personal experience was that by sitting there quietly beside the waterfalls after sunset, I felt something that I have not felt before. Looking back now, it seemed that what happened on that mountain was a fuse was lit inside me, and it led to a complete spiritual awakening with the understanding and presence of God in my life. It's been a beautiful journey ever since.
Now I'm not saying you will have this level of experience on this mountain. I'm just saying that if you go up there with an open mind and an open heart, that mountain is a very special place.

Thank you so much for an amazing couple of days, it is a beautiful place. Very inspiring and I am so grateful for your generosity in sharing it with us. The caves and rappelling were great fun, and I shall definately never forget the experience. Thanks again.

OH MY GOD!
What an amazing experience and value. I did so many things I've never done before and things that were a better experience this time. The horseback riding, the hikes, the food, the waterfall swim, rappelling, the attentive guides and other people. I will always remember this amazing adventure.

Wow! This was one of the best experiences I have had. Warner and Jon are wonderful guides. It was well worth the hike. It is a beautiful place. I would definitely like to come back again and stay the night! Good luck.

An adventure of a lifetime that will last forever in my memories. Great friends make the trip worthwhile. The whole adventure is so exciting, and it is indescribable and unbelievable. With Jon guiding the whole trip though, I felt very safe and comfortable. Anthony, Warner, Jesse, Daniel, Danny and others really made the adventure the best of all. Please keep it going with the mission.

Thank you so much! Everything on this hike was so beautiful. Rappelling down the cliff was a totally new experience. Everyone was so nice and lunch was great also. Thanks again!
Anika Lijerwall

Thank you very much for this wonderful experience. I feel like I have been up the mountain for a long time, doing the rappelling, hiking, swimming and reflexing. It was very refreshing and definately broadened my horizons both literally (beautiful views of the mountains) and symbolically (the spiritual experience). Thank you very much!

Thank you all for an amazing trip. The waterfalls and the cave were incredible! Best wishes!

Thank you for showing me some of the most beautiful natural habitats I have ever layed my eyes on. That day will forever be impressed upon my memory. Not only did I get to repel the waterfall (one of the most exhilarating experiences in my life), but I also got to gallop on a horse (Buttercup) through the rainforest. It was great spending time with all of you and the rest of the group.

Amazing experience, and I will leave it at that. Many need the same or similar experience. Feel as if I can not thank you enough for the value of what I experienced on the mountain. Made me realize how complicated I have made my life. It is OK to obligate to less, and loved ones will deal with it if they truly love me for me.

I had the most wonderful time ­ it was truly amazing ­ just what I needed to focus myself and get ready to get down to business! Jon and Andrew ­ you are two of the most loving, gifted, selfless people I have ever met. I have been with a lot of negative people lately and it was refreshing to be with such beautiful people. Both of you taught me a lot and I am grateful to you both for all the time and effort you spent on us. THANK YOU!!!
Kendra Cecil

Everything was wonderful. I had a beautiful time at the caves. The place is more amazing than I could imagine. I was mesmerized the whole weekend. Thank you for sharing the experience with me.
Stephanie Little

I had a wonderful time that can not be expressed with words, just advice for others to share this experience. It is the perfect environment to challenge the body and soul, to learn and to grow.
Matt Kumpunen

This is an amazing place, with equally amazing facilitators/guides. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience! The morning meditations were wonderful, as were the daily adventures and the night time reflections. I am amazed at the geology as well as human interventions. What a unique opportunity. I would love to return someday with my family and friends, to feel the love this place deserves to share. Thank you for sharing this place with me and 'my' students. I believe it helped us to gain insights into our own past and futures, and gave us motivation to learn and move forward.

The hike in was spectacular, especially as you arrive at the falls. What I found was an unexpected bonus was the cave entrance ­ the fact that it had been washed out was a plus in my opinion. It was a "little challenge" which looked worse than it was, and which induced teamwork/cooperation, as well as a sense of even greater gratitude upon "overcoming" the obstacle. I also very much enjoyed the morning meditation/discussion and view at the other cave, as well as the fun times swimming and jumping in the water!! Overall impression: WOW! (Thank you)!
Natalie Fey

I found the experience very relaxing for my mind. It was an excellent opportunity to further bond with our group, and as well as get to know and exchange thoughts with you guys. It would have been nice to try projections in a group setting, but I had an equally good time just watching the rain and waterfalls circling water through the forest that last morning. I think I may have been the only one to not bring books and, while I understand the thought behind the request, several times I wished I had brought a few of the readings I had to share and hopefully inspire others.
Janella Slage

However, the highlight of the trip, and an experience not to be found anywhere that I know of, is the time spent behind the falls, under the lip of the cliff. It is difficult to express what it's like to eat, relax, converse, and even play checkers with the sound of the falls and their translucent, ever-changing forms as your constant companions. And lastly, I wish I could describe adequately how it feels to fall asleep 20 feet from these impressive falls, but I can't. In sum, I can highly recommend Tree of Life tours for many reasons which, taken all together, provided me with a unique feeling of privilege and accomplishment. There are innumerable reasons for wanting to make this trip. Do it, and I can't see how you'd be disappointed.

I found nature's freshness. I found the stars and the moon singing on a dark night. I found that if every person was willing to put in a little effort, we would have a world of love. Without kids starving, without wars, without differences. We would live, as in the beginning, in paradise again. Up on the mountain I found myself in perfect harmony with God and creation. Where each and every movement, word, smell or taste made me born again, made me wake up from a dream I thought was reality. That dream was full of pain, worries and necessities. I am grateful. I am truly blessed by God in having the opportunity to come back from where I was and start a new life in God's love. Living under his commandment of loving others as he loves me.
God bless you all.
