Review of WIngate Wilderness Therapy

Wingate and the wilderness experience has impacted...

Wingate and the wilderness experience has impacted me so much. It has changed my life. It has helped give me a push in the right direction again. The philosophy in the Anatomy of Peace is astonishing and mind blowing. Lots of times I treated my parents great, but I ve now realized that even though the action was good the motive behind the action was bad. I ve learned that you can do ANY action in a good or bad way... with a heart at peace or at war. I ve learned that when I do good actions while my heart is at war, it invites others to have a heart of war towards me because they can sense that I don t have clean of healthy motives in the action. I have picked up on many collusion cycles that I have had in my family. Now, I am aware and can fix those cycles. I have been made aware of my attachment disruptions and can now tell when I am doing these unhealthy habits and I am able to fix them before they go to far. When my parents were going through a divorce, my mom got cancer, and I got sent to Wingate... I saw my family and life crashing before me, but with the help of Wingate and everyone (including the students at Wingate) my family and I are back on our feet and you could say we planted a seed, on new ground, and now that tree is growing. I have no clue what that tree is yet, but I know it will be beautiful. Wingate has changed my life. And I thank Wingate and of course the staff, therapists, and even students for the impact they have made on my family and I. Thank You
