Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for outlining those statistics. We appreciate thoughtful contributions like this. 💛
1️⃣ To clarify, Ray’s reference in the workshop was aligned with widely discussed data showing that the majority of breast cancer cases are not linked to inherited gene mutations. Whether expressed as 7 in 10 or more commonly 9 in 10, the core point remains the same — genetics alone do not account for most cases.
2️⃣ The intention of sharing this perspective, including references to thinkers such as Dr Gabor Maté, is not to present a definitive medical conclusion, but to encourage broader awareness and discussion around the many factors that may influence health, including lifestyle, environment, and stress.
3️⃣ Ray’s work is not presented as medical advice or diagnosis, and this is clearly stated in our disclaimers. The workshop focuses on helping people understand the connection between mind, body, and emotional patterns so they can take greater personal responsibility for their wellbeing alongside professional medical care.
4️⃣ In relation to your question regarding other conditions, the workshop covers a range of examples across different areas of health and human behaviour. The purpose of any example used is to illustrate a principle, not to exclude or prioritise one group over another.
5️⃣ We respect that individuals will interpret information differently, and we encourage anyone engaging with this work to explore multiple perspectives, including mainstream medical guidance, and form their own informed view.
Thank you again for contributing to the conversation. Very much appreciated💛

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We genuinely appreciate you raising this, especially around participant wellbeing. Your comment allows us to further explain to readers the magnitude of this workshop and the uplifting effect it has had on tens of thousands of guests in over a decade.💛

1️⃣ We want to address the moment you’ve described. At no point is any participant asked to share personal experiences without clear consent, from that participant. During the workshop, Ray invites a volunteer from the audience, and only those who willingly and openly choose to participate are engaged in any discussion with Ray. If Ray does not receive their permission, then no discussions take place. Participation is always optional.

2️⃣ In the specific moment you are referring to, the participant had clearly volunteered to speak and was comfortable continuing the conversation. From our perspective, and from the participant’s own feedback, the experience was supportive and meaningful. The individual (Ian) remained at the end of the workshop with his sister and expressed genuine gratitude for the process, sharing that it helped him identify and move through long-held emotional challenges he had been carrying for many years. He was genuinely grateful and supportive.

3️⃣ The intention of this part of the workshop is to demonstrate, in a real and human way, how emotional patterns can be explored and understood, alongside meditation. It is always approached with care, respect, and an emphasis on personal choice and autonomy.

4️⃣ For clarity, the workshop is designed to go beyond surface level meditation and into understanding and working with deeper emotional patterns. These demonstrations form part of that learning, and are always conducted with voluntary participation and mindful facilitation.

5️⃣ The integration of meditation with long-held emotional patterns is a core part of the workshop’s intention. It is designed to help participants understand how meditation can support them in working through deeper emotional challenges. The consistency of this approach is reflected in the many testimonials we have received over more than a decade from participants who have applied these principles in their own lives.

Thank you again for sharing your perspective. Feedback like this is important, and we remain committed to delivering this work in a way that is respectful, considered, and supportive for all involved. 💛

Hi Lesley, thank you for sharing your perspective. We take feedback seriously, especially when it relates to people’s wellbeing. 💛
1️⃣ We want to respond clearly to your statement that the workshop “preys on broken people.” We do not accept that characterisation at all. This work is designed to support individuals in building awareness, understanding emotional patterns, and learning practical self-regulation tools. Attendees are never positioned as “broken,” and the environment is structured to be respectful, educational, and empowering. We take that responsibility very seriously. (Ray would never refer to anyone in the audience as “broken”, so anyone reading this who has attended our workshops, "you are not broken" in spite of Lesley’s miss characterisation of you).
2️⃣ In relation to meditation, the advertising for this workshop clearly explains that this is not a workshop only about meditation. It is a workshop about the science behind meditation. This is important, because Ray teaches people what is happening neurologically and biologically in the body, so they can understand the process and apply it effectively in their daily lives. This is also reinforced at the beginning of the workshop in a video we play for the audience, you included, that laid out the workshop before it started.
3️⃣ The content is intentionally educational. Concepts are explained in different ways to support understanding and integration across a wide range of attendees. What may feel repetitive to one person is often what allows another to fully grasp and apply the material. That’s why this workshop mis now into its second decade with tens of thousands having attended.
4️⃣ Regarding your comment about “upselling,” there is a short segment at the end of the workshop where attendees are offered the option to go deeper into the work. This is entirely optional. Ray is deeply passionate about the work he teaches and equally passionate about the programs he has developed for those who wish to continue.
For clarity, the course you are referring to is the Solfeggio Frequency and Energy Center Meditation Course. This is a comprehensive program developed from decades of study and application. Importantly, this is presented at the very end of the workshop so that attendees can fully experience the content without any obligation to continue further, at all, if they so choose.

Anyone who does not wish to explore additional programs is free to leave at that point. The course is simply offered as an opportunity for those who want to go deeper. Where other organisations offer highly expensive courses, we have always acted with generosity and in an authentic way offering our flagship course at $387. It is structured to be a highly accessible and generous offering relative to the depth of content and ongoing support provided. It includes a full video training series, lifetime access with no ongoing fees, guided solfeggio meditations produced with a professional music team, a detailed manual, access to a consultant for support, with no ongoing fees, and ongoing live training every six weeks for life with no ongoing fees where students can integrate and build relationships with a global community of participants. This course is offered to allow as many as possible learn these concepts.

5️⃣ Finally, Ray’s work has also been supported and endorsed by experienced professionals within the broader health and education space, and there are many publicly available testimonials from individuals who have applied these principles in their lives and experienced meaningful personal change.
We appreciate that your experience did not align with the many thousands of guests who have found immense value in this workshop. For those reading, we encourage you to explore the full body of available content and testimonials and make your own informed decision.

With respect, passion, heartfulness and meaning Lesley💛

Hi there Shannon, thank you so much for your words. I truly appreciate it. 💛 Sincerely.
A lot of heart, time, and effort goes into every workshop we deliver.

What we share is built from complex ideas and research that we work hard to break down into simple, practical processes that people can actually understand and apply in their everyday lives.

For me personally, what continues to inspire me is witnessing the transformations that unfold when people not only learn the material, practice the meditations, but begin to implement the concepts they learn at these workshops.

Seeing those shifts, sometimes in such a short space of time, is what drives me to keep doing this work.

I’m really grateful you were part of the experience and that you took something meaningful from it. Wishing you continued growth as you apply what you’ve learned. 🙏💛

Hi Lisa and wow back to you… thank you. Truly. 💛 What an inspiring emotional moment I had just then, as I read your comment.

Reading this means so much, because this is exactly why we do what we do. The willingness you brought into the room is what allows those moments of realisation and breakthrough to happen.

A lot of care and intention goes into creating these experiences, taking complex ideas and breaking them down into something simple, practical, and deeply felt….. so that people don’t just understand it, but actually experience it.

What you described, that moment that hit you in your soul, that’s the moment where everything begins to shift. And witnessing that happen for people, again and again, is what inspires me to keep delivering this work.

I’m really grateful you were part of it, and even more grateful that you allowed yourself to receive it. Wishing you continued growth as you integrate what you discovered. 🙏💛

Hi Pamela.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It really means a lot to hear how the experience landed for you. Moments like the one you describe are often the beginning of a deeper reflection, and it’s completely natural to still be processing what came up for you yesterday. 🌿

Sometimes the things we believe we have already worked through can reveal deeper layers when we pause and look again with fresh awareness. That is often where the real shift begins. The fact that you are reflecting so honestly on your experience shows a great deal of courage and openness. ✨

We are very grateful that you were part of the workshop and that the conversation had meaning for you. Take your time with the process, continue to be gentle with yourself, and allow the practices around meditation and self-reflection to guide you forward step by step. 🧘‍♂️

Thank you for your kind words and for being part of this journey with us. We are always moved when people like you Pamela, acknowledge the efforts we put in, to change the world. Our work is groundbreaking, so of course not everyone is ready for it, so not everyone supports our non-traditional approach to wellness, health and life. Your words mean a lot.

The Think and Grow Education Team 🙏

Janice.
You began your comment by stating this was “false advertising as a meditation mindset workshop,” so it’s important to address that clearly.

The workshop runs for approximately ten hours across the two days. During that time we present a large body of content around meditation, emotional regulation, and the science supporting these practices.

This includes research showing how meditation can influence the nervous system, stress responses, cardiovascular health, and overall wellbeing. This information is clearly displayed on via multiple slides on both days, and much of it before we guide participants through meaningful meditation experiences during the event.

The advert for the workshop is very clear "this is not just a meditation workshop, it is also about the science behind the power of meditation", and that is why we deliver so much important and impacting evidence at the workshop.

You mentioned the workshop starting late. On those particular days we had an unusually large number of people arriving right at the start time, which created a line outside the room.

Because the opening segment sets the framework for the entire two days, we made the decision to briefly hold the start so that people already seated and those still entering the room could experience the beginning together. This is very important for all participants, and we agree with you that it is not ideal, but we did make that decision.

You also described the workshop as a “sales pitch.” The workshop itself runs for ten hours, and at the end of each day we spend approximately thirty minutes explaining further programs and workshops for those who wish to explore our work more deeply. This is intentionally placed at the end of the day so that anyone who simply wishes to attend the workshop content, can leave at that point with no obligation to stay, and head home. There is no obligation to stay, and this is clearly mentioned before we explain other workshops, which many people stay to hear about.

You mentioned the testimonials. Throughout the event we do present testimonials and expert commentary to help people understand the real world impact meditation can have on their lives, their health, their self-wroth and their relationships. Testimonails help the audience listen to real people, who had their own problems and issues, and used this form of meditation to overcome thier own difficulties, so the testimonials are by real people openly sharing thier tramiua stories with you, to encourage you to make meditation a daily practice.

One of the pieces shared is a video from a respected psychiatric lecturer who teaches psychiatry internationally and who describes this work we teach at this workshop as “nothing short of astounding.”
So a genuine question for you, Janice. Did you miss that section of the workshop, or the scientific material presented throughout the day? Because many people in the room clearly saw and engaged with that information.

For many years now tens of thousands of people have attended these workshops across different continents and have spoken very highly about the experience and what they learned from it, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of followers who support Rays teachings on Facebook.

We are sorry that this particular experience did not land the same way for you as it has done for so many, but we stand by the integrity and intention of the workshop, its delivery and how we present it.

The Think and Grow Education Team.

(P.S. Janice, if after reflecting on the workshop you feel that some of the material may have landed differently than it did in the moment, you are welcome to return and attend the workshop again as our guest. Sometimes hearing the concepts a second time allows people to experience them in a much deeper way. Our door is open if you ever wish to revisit the experience. Just respond here, and we'll assist you)

Connor, thank you for such a thoughtful comment. It means a lot that you took the time to share that. 🙏
The work we explore in the workshop does step beyond many conventional conversations around psychology, wellbeing, and meditation. It brings together ideas from different fields, different traditions, and different areas of research, and sometimes that challenges the way people have previously thought about these subjects.
That kind of exploration does not always sit comfortably with everyone, and that is completely understandable. When ideas move beyond familiar territory, they naturally invite questions, debate, and sometimes even criticism. But meaningful learning often begins exactly at that point, where curiosity opens the door to new ways of understanding ourselves and our emotions.
What keeps us going is knowing that many people, like yourself, come with an open mind and are willing to explore these ideas and practices for themselves.
We are very grateful for that openness and for your support of the work.
The Think and Grow Team 🙏

Thank you Diana for sharing this, it truly means a lot to me to be able to read and understand your story.
What you described is exactly why this work exists. So many people reach moments in life where they begin to question their direction, their confidence, and their belief in themselves. That's no them attacking our doubting themselves Diana, its actually thier own conditioning, Sometimes a single idea or challenge can spark a completely different path forward.

Reading that you stepped outside your comfort zone, to rebuild your confidence, and eventually go on to create and grow your own company is incredibly inspiring, not just to me, but to anyone who reads this. Stories like yours remind us why encouraging people to challenge their own limitations can be so powerful. And that's the work I do, and my work is not for everyone, and that's ok. It's for those ready to shift and integrate new concepts. New concepts can challenge peoples beliefs, and when challenged, they can attack, and some do so in whatever way they feel it will hurt most. So when I get attacked, it's not personal, it's thier conditioning, same goes for you Diana, if you get attacked, don't take it personal. Growth comes with a price, success attracts darkness.

I’m very grateful that you took the time to share your experience here, and it’s wonderful to hear that the message has stayed with you and is now something you pass on to others.
Wishing you continued success with your business and everything you are building.
Ray Behan

Hi Zara,
I will respond directly and clearly.
1️⃣ You stated that you left the workshop early. That is your right. However, it is important for readers to understand that you are commenting on a segment of a structured, sequential workshop. The workshop builds across the entire 2 days. Assessing it without experiencing it in full does not provide complete context, at all.
2️⃣ Later in the workshop, documented references, detailed explanations, and a recorded video endorsement, played to the audience, from a highly respected Australian psychiatric lecturer with decades of global teaching experience are presented. That material forms part of the evidentiary framework supporting the strategies I teach.
3️⃣ You are correct that I am not a medical professional. This is clearly stated in our disclaimer. The work is not positioned as medical treatment. It is positioned as emotional awareness and self regulation education. Participants are encouraged to continue working with their healthcare providers.
4️⃣ I take this work very seriously. It is built from lived experience, extensive refinement, and years of delivery. I do not present it casually, and I stand by its integrity. When commentary is made after partial attendance, as you have admitted, it is important to clarify that it does not reflect the full scope of what is delivered.
5️⃣ There are hundreds of publicly available testimonials from individuals who have completed the entire experience and implemented what they learned. I encourage readers to review the full body of available material before forming conclusions.
What we teach are impactful yet simple implementable steps designed to support personal responsibility and emotional wellbeing.
Ray Behan. Dedicated and serious about my work.

Hello Darren. Ray here and thank you for taking the time to share this. I genuinely appreciate you speaking up. 💛

1. You are absolutely right about one thing. Confronting our suppressed emotions can be extremely difficult. When someone begins to face patterns and feelings they may have carried for years, it can feel confronting, unsettling, and even lonely at times. If at any point you felt unsupported in that process, that truly matters to me.

2. The workshop is designed as the beginning of a deeper journey, not the end of one. It teaches practical skills and facilitates emotional breakthroughs, but the real work happens in the integration afterwards. Growth unfolds in real life, not just in the room. The workshop guest, must integrate the processes ongoing. Growth is a journey.

3. Because of that, we never intend this to be a one stop experience. Transformation is a ride. It is layered. It is ongoing. And it requires practice, reflection, and courage long after the workshop concludes.

4. No one is meant to be left behind. We stay connected with our community through live online engagement every six weeks for life. Please join in...forever. There is always a place to ask questions, raise concerns, reconnect, and continue learning. Support does not end when the event ends.
5. This work is about relationship, not transaction. We are committed to walking with people as they grow and integrate what they have discovered about themselves.

Thank you again for sharing your perspective Darren. Conversations like this matter deeply, because people matter deeply. 💛
Ray

Hello Aga.Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience.
I’m always deeply humbled by the number of people who choose to show up to these presentations. People give their time, their attention, and their openness, and that’s never something I take for granted.
The experience works because people are willing to think differently, ask deeper questions, and look at their own lives with honesty. When that happens, real and meaningful change can occur.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. Your feedback means more to me than you may realise.
Warm regards,
Ray

Thank you, Nicola, for your beautiful words and for your continued trust in the work.
It means a great deal knowing you’ve been part of multiple workshops and that the education, support, and community have made a real difference for you. The work is never just about listening Nicola, it’s about understanding yourself more clearly and having practical tools you can use in everyday life.
Hearing that EVOLVE helped shift your outlook and break old patterns is exactly why we do what we do. Your openness, commitment, and willingness to apply what you’ve learned are what create lasting change.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience Nicola and for encouraging others who may be feeling stuck. I’m truly grateful.
Warm regards,
Ray

Thank you, Maxine. Your words truly mean a lot to me.
Having you attend Evolve retreats across different countries, and walk alongside this journey for so many years, has been a real privilege. Your presence, support, and openness have added so much to the experience, not only for yourself, but for others as well, me included Maxine.
I’m deeply moved by how many lives are changed through this work. To see people from all walks of life come together, gain new awareness, and leave with practical tools they can use long after the workshops end is something I never take for granted. To now be sharing these teachings across the globe is both humbling and incredibly meaningful.
Thank you for your trust, your continued support, and for being such an important part of the Think & Grow family.
With sincere gratitude,
Ray

Hey there Jo. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Reading your words genuinely moved me. I just love hearing how our efforts really do shift peoples lives.
Your journey from the 2 Day Workshop, through UNTHINKABLE, and then on to EVOLVE reflects exactly how this work is designed to unfold, step by step, in a way that feels safe, supportive, and grounded. The "UNTHINKABLE" 4 day workshop in particular is a space where people slow down enough to really understand themselves, their patterns, and the deeper drivers behind their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. The shifts that happen there are often profound because people finally give themselves the time and structure to look honestly and compassionately at their lives.
I love what you shared about coming for the conversation rather than the meditation. So many people arrive believing meditation “isn’t for them,” only to discover that once they understand the science behind it, how it works with the body and nervous system, everything changes. Awareness replaces effort, and practice becomes natural.
It also means a great deal to see you volunteer and continue to show up. People like you help create the heart-centred culture that others feel the moment they walk into the room. That sense of safety, education, and genuine support is something we protect deeply, especially in UNTHINKABLE and EVOLVE.
I’m incredibly grateful for your trust, your commitment to your own growth, and your ongoing contribution to the Think & Grow community. Seeing lives change, perspectives shift, and people take responsibility for themselves , and then carry that into the world around them , is something I never take lightly.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for walking it with such openness and generosity.
With sincere gratitude,
Ray

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Reading your experience really means a lot to all of us.
EVOLVE is created with great care, from how each day is structured, to the balance between education, reflection, connection, and time in the environment. I’m really glad you felt supported, informed, and also surprised along the way. Those moments of space and stillness are often where the deepest changes begin.

We also genuinely love bringing together world-class thinkers and teachers. People such as Vishen Lakhiani, Dr John Demartini, Kodhi Rayne and many others have shared their wisdom at retreats I’ve been involved in, including experiences where Dr Joe Dispenza was a guest speaker. These voices help expand perspective, while always keeping the work practical and human.

EVOLVE is now intentionally held in Blue Zones..... places where people naturally live longer, healthier, and more connected lives. These regions show us what happens when environment, food, rhythm, community, and mindset are in balance. Next year, EVOLVE will be held in the Blue Zone of Sardinia, a place that beautifully reflects the values this work is built on. Being immersed in these environments allows people to experience wellbeing as something lived, not just talked about.

I’m grateful you felt safe to share, reflect, and work through your experiences without judgment. The connections formed, the laughter and tears shared, and the friendships that continue long after the retreat ends are at the very heart of EVOLVE.

Thank you for trusting the journey, the team, and yourself. It’s incredibly moving to witness the changes that unfold when people give themselves permission to slow down and truly listen.

From me to you Jan,
Ray

Thank you, Shoney. I am truly humbled by your words and by the story you have wrote of here.
To be trusted during such a difficult time in your life means more to me than I can properly express.

What you walked through took courage, honesty, and a willingness to keep going even when life felt heavy. The work simply offers guidance and support, the real healing comes from the choice you made to care for yourself again. How cool.

Seeing how you have grown over the years, through workshops and retreats, and how that growth continues, is moving. It’s a powerful reminder that growth is never finished, and that each layer of awareness opens the door to more peace, calm, and self-acceptance.
What you shared about learning to see yourself differently, to soften instead of fight, and to recognise the beauty in who you are, really touched me. That quiet inner shift often creates change far beyond ourselves, and it’s beautiful to hear Shonay, how that has flowed into the lives of others around you.
Thank you for your trust, your openness, and for being part of the Think and Grow community. I am genuinely grateful to walk this path alongside you.
From me to you......
Ray........and on we go

Amie. Thank you both for sharing your story with me.
What you’ve been through, and the questions you chose to ask afterward, take real courage. The workshops don’t “fix” people, they simply create a space where people can slow down, reflect, and see things more clearly for themselves, and then apply the processes that result in the significant changes that guests go through.
To walk this journey through the two-day workshop, the four-day UNTHINKABLE experience, and EVOLVE in Umbria shows a real commitment to personal growth. WOW.
I’m also glad you felt the connection with the people you met along the way. Being around others who are asking the same deeper questions can be very powerful.
Thank you for trusting the process and for encouraging others to take that step. Sometimes one choice really can change the direction of a life, right.
From my heart.......
Ray

Hey there Rachel. Thanks a million for sharing your experience so openly.
One of the core intentions of the Mindset and Meditation Workshop is to create awareness around how unprocessed emotional experiences can influence the way we perceive, respond to, and navigate life, including how we engage with our own wellbeing and the systems around us.
It’s powerful to hear that, through reflection and inner work (QAC PROCESS), you were able to approach your circumstances with greater clarity and self-awareness, and that this almost influenced or kinda coincided with a more supportive experience in the medical system.
Your willingness to look inward and take responsibility for your own growth is what makes meaningful change possible. I appreciate you trusting the process and sharing your journey with others.
Thank you soooooo much,
Ray
