I met Arvick Baghramian in 1997, while researching Conscious Breathing techniques for a series of articles I was writing for the Magazine "Haim Aherim". I experienced a 7 day Conscious Breathing workshop as well as individual sessions with her, I also assisted on several workshops led by Arvick and participated on several advanced Shamanism courses.

My encounter with Arvick has truly been a life changing experience for me. She helped me to undergo incredible transformations, emotionally, professionally, mentally and spiritually, and has become a true life teacher for me. Throughout the years I have maintained regular contact with her and have been referring many of my own clients to her, due to the great trust I have in her abilities.

Arvick combines in her work great academic knowledge with fascinating esoteric and spiritual knowledge. She is a renaissance woman who is herself in a never- ending process of leaning. This allows her to enrich her students with new and exciting knowledge every time. She has great life experience as well as vast professional experience, which makes it easy for her to work with a large variety of problems and difficulties, with great confidence, and yet with the modesty that is so characteristic of her, allowing each person to come in touch with their own power, rather than make her into their guru.

Arvick is a colorful, fascinating and versatile person, so that all of her professional knowledge is spiced with a lot of humor and lightness, transforming the most difficult encounters into an empowering and energizing experience. In addition, she has extraordinary sensitivity and intuition – her own natural gifts – which allow her to easily connect with any person and bring about true metamorphosis in both group and individual encounters.
- Michal Gazit, leader of personal growth workshops, personal consultant, journalist and writer.

Participating in Arvick's workshops is first and foremost an experience of knowing a woman, a therapist, that followed her heart and whose journey has taken her both far and near. Far beyond the oceans and beyond this daily reality and near, close to each person she works with. In her own special way and with her open heart she guides and facilitates learning, healing and empowerment. Each and every workshop with Arvick has been for me an opportunity for further listening and getting to know myself, a wonderful opportunity not to be missed.

"The story begins on an afternoon when Edmund and Lucy were stealing a few precious minutes alone together. And of course they were talking about Narnia, which was the name of their own private and secret country… Their country was real. They had already visited it twice; not in a game but in reality." The voyage of the Dawn Treader, C.S. Lewis.

I used to read these books when I was young and that sentence always made me feel so jealous. I remember how I would imagine myself in place of the heroes. I knew it was impossible and still, every once in a while I used to go into the closet. Because I just might find Narnia there. A few years ago I took the shamanism course with Arvick. It was an intensive course and I learned meaningful things about myself. I discovered that I had power I wasn't aware of and that I could start healing the pain I had in me for so many years. I found my Narnia even without the closet. I found the magic, the healing and the wisdom that accompany me in life and allow me to live more fully. From my spirit teachers I learned how to live life to the fullest. I also learned that the magic that as I child I thought existed only in the magical realms of books existed here too. Right here in my home, or outside the window or in the bus station. The sun once told me that there is light in everything. Ever since then, I can see it.

The shamanic workshop opened for me a door into an experiential world of magical journeys and enchanted encounters. They were fascinating journeys in terms of the connection between the imagination, the thought and the emotion. I received messages and had realizations which helped me to understand complex questions I had about myself, my family, my work and every other thing that was present in my life. In these journeys I went through a moving process of healing, while looking inside and understanding where my difficulties were stemming from. The course leader, Arvick Baghramian, taught me how to distill my real issues and reach the essence of my true needs, here and now. The shamanic journey is a unique tool which allowed me to connect to my source of power and strength, to go on a spectacular journey in an alternative reality, until the drums would call me to come back home.

Before I started practicing Reiki I was a skeptic guy that only believed things he saw with his own two eyes. Energies, auras and that sort of stuff was a joke for me, at best. A few years ago I was diagnosed as suffering from Krohn's disease – an autoimmune disease where the body attacks and severely damages the intestines. Krohn's, according to the doctors, cannot be cured. My condition was so bad that I could not sleep at night with the pain and had to be rushed to the emergency room on several occasions. A friend recommended Reiki to me and after experiencing a short treatment I decided to learn the method. Following the Reiki initiations I gave myself Reiki on a daily basis. Within six months all symptoms of my illness disappeared completely. My doctor could not understand how that was possible and classified my case as that of an extremely rare "spontaneous healing". Reiki continues to accompany me in my daily life every since.

I arrived to the workshop with Arvick with great excitement, and there I met a teacher, a guide, a woman, a great soul, a woman filled with great light and unconditional love - Arvick. The conscious breathing technique brought self awareness to my daily life and into every aspect of my life. Today I am a conscious breathing practitioner. Working with others using this method excites me time and again as I witness incredible results with clients. I warmly recommend it!!
     - Galila Adelstein, holistic healer and teacher, Master Reiki.

The very first time I met Arvick, I extended out my hand to shake hers. She, however, opened her arms widely & hugged me, a true long, motherly hug.

I came to the Conscious Breathing workshop with a lot on my mind. The workshop maintained a balance between artistic creativity, breath work & talking. I experienced both spiritual and physical healing without having to share my problems and issues with everyone else. The activities were very practical, funny, fun and to the point. The integrated breathing exercises trigger a process of cleansing and heal the body as well as the soul.

This course was one of the best presents that I could ever have given myself, and I will use the tools I learned on this workshop every day for the rest of my life. I highly recommend it.

I used to strongly dislike my body. I used to think that femininity and anything that has to do with the female body was disgusting and dangerous. I worked with this issue during the conscious breathing course as well as during a few individual breathing sessions. Today, things are not perfect, but I find myself enjoying wearing nice clothes, putting energy into looking good and wearing jewelry…. That doesn't mean I am only feminine but I have come to love that side of me as well. Sometimes I even look at myself in the mirror and think that I am really beautiful.

I played the game several times with children and with parents and every time I played it, very deep and beautiful feelings and revelations come up. We worked further with these finds and the results in therapy are amazing. I can recommend this wonderful game for any therapists and families.
     - Etty Rosenthal, Intermodal expressive therapist.

Your "REVELATIONS" is a big revelation!!! This game is a huge gift for many people. My friends are delighted and my daughter likes to play with me, too. She prefers telling stories, and it has given me deeper insight into her inner life and into mine as well! The game has brought me closer to a few people and brought me closer to myself. Thank you.
     - Greg Pawlowski, personal growth teacher and parent, Poland.

I have been a kindergarten teacher for the past 16 years. Communicating with children and parents is the very base of my work. During the years of my work I have acquired different tools and methods to enhance/perfect my ability to communicate with children and touch their fascinating and rich world.

The game REVELATIONS which I have been using for the past year is an incredible tool which allows flowing communication and respectful access into the child's world in a very exciting and fun manner.

I find that children are happy to tell stories, reveal and discover things about themselves. All they need is a safe environment and a person to listen to them with respect and empathy. This game creates the optimal conditions for this sort of discourse. I warmly recommend this game to be in any home or environment where children grow.
     - Vered Brinboim, Kindergarten teacher in the Democratic School in Modi'in, Israel.

I really like playing with REVELATIONS because you bring out feelings that you are really scared of and suddenly you discover that it's really nothing. Nothing bad happens to you because of these feelings.
     - Dror Ziv, 7 years old.

I love to play REVELATIONS because it develops your emotions and "words cannot describe how I feel when I play the game!"
