Testimonials

"Sacred Playshop"

"I wasn’t sure what to expect. Gaby takes you on a magnificent celebratory spiritual journey - unlike any other - with song, poetry, and movement. The power of this work is that it is not information to be remembered, but experiential, so that it becomes a part of you. The effect was profound, providing me with ways to access being in the moment - being present, and ultimately even experiencing the meaning of the oneness of God. And… if that wasn’t enough, it was a joyful, playful experience. Gaby is a gift, he has a remarkable ability to allow for the essential being to emerge. This is not a one-shot experience. It will stay with you. I have never felt more present and it is the result, not of meditation, but of this extraordinary playshop." Nick Levitin - Photographer, NYC, USA.

India - Ajmer Sufi school presentation 2012

"Looking to connect with yourself, others & beyond? I highly recommend you check out Gabriel. Back in the day, I was intrigued to see him transform into a whirling dervish while expressing what looked like a kinetic cosmic fu of the world. His charismatic movements matched his poetry and song and after we met, I learned it was also in harmony with who he was as a person. Time to 'Elevate in the Play shop."
