The Kiloby Center was my first experience of mindfulness, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. It changed my life and I practice the living inquiries and listen to the guided meditations daily. They have caused me to realize the personality and the self is a construct and I am not stuck in my stories

Age 70, I chose to come to the Kiloby Center to work through childhood and developmental trauma. It was the right time and place to do both. The staff helped me do a trauma inventory and facilitated me in such a caring way that I began to change my perspectives on this life. Multi modalities including mindfulness, yoga, 5 rhythms, trauma release exercises, individual facilitation and group sharing helped me come alive to my feelings. After decades in Twelve Step programs, I was finally able to release guilt, shame, blame and fear. It was the best 3 months of my life and I recommend it to those of you who seriously want to change. It is not the place for the faint hearted or folks looking for an easy fix. Thanks so much to all the staff and courageous fellow travelers!

I've been in some form of therapy almost all of my adult life and this was by far the deepest and most integrative work i've ever experienced. the combination of mindfulness, somatic work and trauma release was very powerful. the staff are so skilled, loving and supportive...they are great at helping you identify events in your life that you never would have realized were traumatic and then to begin the healing process. i say "begin" because while there you are taught very practical and user-friendly tools to help you continue to transform your suffering after you've left the center. one of the central precepts in Buddhism is "do no harm"...i am finding as a result of this work that i am doing "less harm"... to myself and others. so grateful for these people and this revolutionary approach to recovery!

I went to Kiloby for 6 months. the work they do at the center is very rewarding and changed my life. With that being said, it is a smaller treatment center with a small number of staff which results in a disorganized feeling to the program and a LOT of repeat groups which got very boring. Plus a lot of time is spent sitting around doing 'self support' because they don't have enough staff to run groups and do one on one sessions at the same time. And don't be fooled when you hear them say this is not a 12 step program; 12 step meetings are MANDATORY. and one last thing: I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEIR SOBER LIVING... unless you like sleeping in very cheap bunk beds and tight quarters with upwards of 8-9 people at a time. I am not saying I don't think this is a good program, because it is and I got a lot out of it but I think there is a lot of room for improvement from Kiloby. Give it a try if you want to try something different that really gets to the core of your issues.

If you are seriously ready to heal and make a lasting change in your life, I would recommend this place. You are going to heal on a deep level and also learn to continue this healing on your own whenever needed..which is rare. I am forever grateful. All I can say, is if you stick with it, you may not ever look back!

Life-changing for me. The work that's being done here goes beyond anything I've encountered before. It helped me release lifelong-held trauma and beliefs about myself, others and the world. Read and check out Scott's books; or even better, schedule an inquiry session with one of the Kiloby facilitators and see for yourself. Very literally mind-blowing. Thank you and love to all on staff!
