Early this year, I decided to work on myself. I was tired of feeling tired and empty inside. I wanted to make sense out of my life. I had a very negative outlook towards life and my life was mainly driven by fear. All the decisions and actions I took were driven by all kinds of fear. I had read so many self-help books on how to transform one's life but I never felt the impact they had in my life. I knew something was amiss but I did not know what it was and how to address it.

I had heard of Alabastron some years back through ‘My unspoken’ a TV program which aired on one of the local TV stations in 2013. I never really got to follow the production but it got me curious. I then started my search on Google about Alabastron and read any article I could lay my hands on regarding the program. I did not want to waste my time and I had always been skeptical about transformational programs.
I thought Alabastron was just one of those feel good, self-help women group meetings. But something kept on urging me to do their program. Despite my skepticism, I enquired from the team and enrolled but at the back of my mind I was telling myself I would drop out if it turned out to be what I suspected. [...]

ELIZABETH: was able to pick herself up again after a bad break up that had serious consequences.

ANNE: has finally calmed down, after having to balance between bringing up kids, a relationship that was headed to the dogs, club hopping and basically hurting herself.

Q: How did you learn about Alabastron?

  First from the Media, then a girlfriend posted in our group.

  First from a bridal shower then I decided to look through the website and find out more about it.

Q: What had other people told you about Alabastron?

  Most said it was an experience and they cannot explain it. It’s one of those experiences that one has to take to get it.

  Most of them had good things to say about Alabastron and highly recommended it to be done whether you had issues in your life or not. Some said it’s something you should do before you die, it should be on a woman's bucket list. Some of them said it was just a bunch of church women who had nothing else to do and that it never worked.

I learnt about Alabastron for the first time a couple of years back but never really bothered to know the details. Fast forward to last year, my friend, who has been a strong advocate of the program in our group of friends, finally convinced me. I attended the open day and I knew I had to sign up there and then.

My friend had said it will help me rediscover myself, bounce back, deal with issues and situations I have been avoiding but needed to address.

At first I thought it was a place for counseling women with a-trailer-load of issues. I knew I needed help but I did not think my issues were at Alabastron level. LOL.

In the past two years I had been jumping from ‘relationship’ to ‘relationship’. I had had about 8 short relationships in two years. [...]

How / when did you learn / hear about Alabastron?

I first heard about Alabastron from a friend of mine in June 2016. I had never heard of it through the television or online like most. I believe it was not my time, but when l was told about it, at that point in my life, l was ready to try anything to get unstuck.

How (who) many people had told you by the time you made up your mind to enroll?

I heard about Alabastron from my friend Faith (who has not done the program). I mentioned it to my mother who had been told so much about [...]

Alabastron was always on my to do list. I got to learn of the Alabastron 2 Weeks Marathon from the website though I had known about Alabastron for quite some time.
