This workshop opened my eyes to parts of myself I didn’t even know existed. It gave me tools to see and heal the hidden sides of me, challenging my old patterns and expanding what I thought was possible for personal growth. By blending mindfulness with insights from neuroscience, Sun and Liya helped me connect deeply with myself. I’ve gained so much from this experience that I’m taking it again—there’s always more to discover.

If you're ready to transform from the inside out, I highly recommend this journey. It’s an incredible opportunity to learn from accessible and supportive teachers, making deep personal growth attainable for anyone.

For anyone interested in exploring the world within alongside a community of courageous learners, you're in good hands with Sun and Liya at the helm. The intention and care with which they've built this learning experience is apparent, and while they both bring substantial experience and credentials, it was their commitment to supporting what emerged in the group that stood out to me. It is clear they are both committed inner practitioners who walk their talk, and genuinely desire to share what they've learned to help others become more of who they already are.

First and foremost, you could feel the good vibe from the start. Sun and Liya are resplendent and highly resonant and skilled souls that hold the candle for a path of self discovery. Despite I know a thing or two about IFS, they facilitate a sincere space where you feel appreciated and listened. They share their own stories and provide the tools to open the key to further self knowledge. As I just read from Brianna Wiest, "When we can only process half of our emotions, we ultimately only live half of the life we really want to." This is the place to start the path towards knowing your full self. And paraphrasing The Mandalorian, This is the Way.

It's hard to put into words how great and valuable an experience DSD was for me. In my travels I have tried many, many things in service of my own healing and an authentic approach to life. At this point in my journey, this is definitely the most valuable learning experience I have had, both in terms of the quality of the experience and also what I have taken away from it. If you feel called to the DSD method, there is no need for hesitation - you will find everything you need there. In just two days, I have new mental models, more compassion for myself and others, and easy-to-use practices that I am already applying when I feel anxious or triggered. This approach feels very human and do-able for me, and I am deeply grateful for this work, thank you!

In the DSD workshop I participated in, we experienced both open discussion and fun, radical exercises that probed manifestations of our Inner Self, or what is often referred to in my Buddhist practice as Big Mind. Often, sensations and visualizations were as important as words, and everything we experienced exuded compassion for self and others and brave curiosity. I realized how simple objectives can and do have enormous impact on one's personal potential and understanding of the world…

Sun and Liya's seemingly effortless facilitation and the joyful interplay between the two of them and the participants created a feeling of boundless possibility.

As I continue my lifelong journey to understand (or dare to design) self, I've delved into understanding ADHD, Internal Family Systems, Hypnosis, EMDR, talk counseling, and other approaches. The Deep Self Design program is a wonderful blending of these and other frameworks into a simple, manageable format, providing tools and accelerators I can use immediately.

Liya and Sunny are enlightened individuals who have developed highly relevant content about the Inner World and made it accessible to everyone. The workshop deeply impacted me; it was as if another part of myself was revealed, and now I can flow more easily in my life.
