“The most effective help my daughter has ever had was working intensively with Alaric. The daily counseling of peace teachings took a wild-eyed, high anxiety teenager with rage and turned her into a calm young woman who can smile again. For the first time in 5 years she is making plans for a future. I can’t thank Alaric Hutchinson enough for the counseling, peace, and compassion that he bestowed on my daughter.”…[continue reading]

“As an office manager in a business with 100 employees, including 3 owners and 12 managers—a day does not go by without some type of incident little or large. Before working with Alaric I always brought work home with me. I drank or made other poor choices to cope with the stress, had terrible anger issues, and critically high blood pressure to boot! After several weeks of attending classes, reading Living Peace, and practicing the philosophy, I noticed a change at work.” …[continue reading]

"I am a 37 year old married man and the proud father of two beautiful and smart children. My daughter is in a wheelchair and will never walk due to a rare congenital muscular myopathy. This has been a struggle for everyone involved. I am a Registered Nurse and the Director of Operations for a national healthcare system and I can not say enough about Alaric and the positive changes he has brought to me and my family. He was honestly a life changing event for me." …[continue reading]

Alaric's life coaching and Inner Peace Boot Camp has changed my life in so many wonderful ways. I am open to talking to anyone about my experience and answering any questions..." …[continue reading]

"I was born in England, lived in Sweden and Singapore as an adult, and in 2010 found my way to Arizona in the United States where I found a spiritual teacher and spiritual tradition that was perfect for me. It’s quite humorous really, having traveled around the world to find that a young “Zen Cowboy” in AZ was who I most got on with!" ...[continue reading]

"Coming from a Christian background I have certain views and beliefs that I've been taught. Keeping an open mind I am learning many different viewpoints that allow me to enhance those Christian values and even see things in more colors. It’s like my Crayola Box of 54 has now been expanded to a box of 108." …[continue reading]

"One thing I’d like pass on to all new students is the importance of doing the work and meditating. If you follow Alaric’s teachings, do the homework, and take to heart the personal feedback he gives you, you will see results quickly. I speak from experience, and I now wake up with joy in my heart and soul every day." …[continue reading]

“After my son was born it was no longer easy for me to feel joy in my life. As a stay at home mother of one, I experienced postpartum depression and became someone whom I did not recognize. Alaric’s Zen program gave me the tools to change my life. Healing is not linear—life always has its ups and downs, yet I have re-found my peace and alignment as a mother, a wife, and most of all—as a person.” …[continue reading]
