What They're Saying About
Aaron's Seminars and Consultations...

Thanks for your unique presentation at the World Alzheimer Day Conference (2007). Your talk inspired, was helpful and full of hope!
~ Donna Durand - Red Deer Chapter, Alzheimer Society

You are very interesting, fun, and also really bring from the heart the real meaning of life. This was very powerful, hopefully I can use this to make life a better place.
~ Della Thiemann - Saskatoon Health Region

Having taken Aaron's Next Step Life Path Workshop, It's obvious he has a wealth of knowledge of the many levels and intricacies of the human condition. This alone is valuable. However, from this knowledge and working in a manner similar to that of a sculptor, Aaron has fashioned a practical understanding of the human condition that is not only valuable, but personally inspiring. His knowledge is his art and his art is his life. Who better to lead us than a man who lives his Truth?
~ Susan Ware B. ED. - Educator, Chinooks Edge

Interestingly enough, it was easy to pay attention to this presentation (that focused on the topic of paying attention) because Mr. McNaught paid attention to his audience! ~ Joanne Hurley - R.N., R.P.N., B.Sc.P.N. and Instructional Associate - Psychiatric Nursing, University of Brandon, Manitoba

Aaron and I have been exploring the applications and benefits of Attention Training for many months now, and it truly is bottomless. As a nurse I can see that it is a skill that is beyond equal, and should be made part of basic training for nurses and all care providers.
~ Derrick Whyte - Registered Psychiatric Nurse - Sun Country Health Region

Aaron McNaught speaks with a passion and understanding that captivates you. An afternoon at one of his seminars is like stepping onto the road you always knew would lead you home. His teachings are profound and will cause you to look at everything in your life - including the very core of who you are - in a whole new way. Time spent with Aaron is time well invested in your Life. His book, Waking Up to Life!, is a must read - over and over and over.
~ Judy Andrekson - Educator, Elk Island Public Schools

Aaron shares his insight, honesty and compassion straight from the heart. Anyone exposed to his work will come away feeling his passion for what he is teaching.

Today's presentation was the eye-opener I needed in the fact that I do need to WAKE UP! This is definitely words to live by and your presentation sealed the deal for me. Honesty and energy! Just excellent. ~ Wanda Raison, RPN - Manitoba

A morning of self-exploration and immediate tools that allow me to use in my life is extremely welcomed! I am in a wonderful position in my life, and learning 'Awakened Attention' allowed me to feel tender, real, and welcomed emotions.
~ Leona Stewart - Regina Qu'Appelle Health District

Aaron's approach to waking up is amazing. He has both a firm theoretical grasp about the work and the presence and insight to deliver a service that is truly integral. His teaching has impacted my life in a positive way and has me in awe of what can be achieved when one finally wakes up to life.

~ Cathy Fenwick - Author of Healing With Humour www.healingwithhumor.com

Like so many people today, I am trying to find my way through the seemingly endless self-help literature and seminars out there. I have found the real deal in Aaron McNaught. Aaron's books and seminars are detailed and practical. Best of all they are genuinely helpful. Aaron's teachings are a mixture of East and West that hit me right between the eyes. I highly recommend all of his work, especially the very heart of his message -- Awakened Attention. Awakened Attention, as taught by Aaron, is simple, challenging, powerful and freeing.
~ Scott Lewis - Educator, Wolf Creek School Division

Aaron speaks with a clarity and depth that is as precious as it is rare. Pulling words from awareness and sharing them with the willing, an encounter with Aaron can be life changing. My highest recommendations.

Aaron's words have affected my Life in ways I couldn't have imagined. The experience of Aaron's Seminar was one of instant contentment, stillness and awareness. His words can change you too.

Aaron speaks with a presence and passion that inspires. Having experienced the 'Waking Up To Life' seminar I can sum it up in one word: Wow! Listen to Aaron's words and the message for Life contained with openness and a willingness to hear, and you will be transformed.

Aaron book goes beyond the usual topics of self esteem, effectiveness and success. Aaron's views provide a much more colorful map to guide us toward a life of deep self exploration.
~ Kathleen D. Mailer, self-publishing guru/coach/multi-author

Aaron helped me to return to a path of knowingness, to a knowledge from deep within and a reminder that we are all here in this together on our journeys, moment ... to moment.... to moment...
~ Lynn Langshaw - Family Services of Central Alberta

Attending Aaron's day seminar was an excellent experience. His teachings have directly contributed to the course my life is heading in, be it business, personal life and general daily focus. I highly recommend Mr. McNaught's services and teachings for anyone looking to improve any area of their life. One of my best investments, thanks Aaron.
~ Andrew B. Christiansen - Lucidic Capital Inc.

I came to the workshop with no expectations but left with a self-awareness that I have never experienced before. Thank you so much for the ‘Wake Up Call’.
~ Marianne Brand - Community Savings, AB

I have come to realize that everyone is capable of 'Waking Up'. As a Workshop provider, Aaron is a tough act to follow.
~ Particia Fairbrother - R.P.N. - Workshop Facilitator - David Thompson Health Region

I thank you from the bottom of my heart Aaron, for making my Life once again shine. 'Waking Up to Life' made me truly believe that for the first time in months I could and would 'Wake Up' again.
~ Frankie O'Hagan - Alberta

Aaron has an easy way of teaching, enlightening and empowering, that is like no other. It's all so simple that a person should figure it out themselves, and yet, once it's pointed out, one will probably never live life quite the same again! I am a better person for the knowledge given to me and am truly blessed to have come across his teachings.
~ Sheri Brons - Alberta

Aaron's approach to life is one of constant wonder. No matter what the circumstances, the wonder of it all is foremost. His approach is one of de-mystifying mysticism, distilling the ancient wisdoms, stripping them of dogma and making them applicable to everyday life. He will guide you to a place where you can experience the wonder for yourself.
~ Patrick Molloy - Consultant

I was recently at a seminar for Awakened Attention and I left the seminar with a new found inspiration.... I have used some of Aarons tools in my day to day hustle and bustle of life....and found how we truly do spend alot of our awakened life really "asleep"
~ Hollie Wick Alberta Seminar Participant

Aaron has a knack for helping diverse groups of people understand present moment awareness.  I have seen him conduct workshops with people struggling with mental health and addictions, inmates within the correctional system dedicated to improve their lives, and with children learning more about meditation and prayer.  Angry young men in particular seem to relate to Aaron's approach and through it seem more open to investigating spiritual truths.
~ Tania Nordli M.D.

Thanks again for the Waking Up From Anger book. I have used your model in dealing with my own anger issues. This creative response to situations, over which I have no control, gives me greater peace of mind. With practice I've become very good at it.
~ Cathy Fenwick, Canada www.healingwithhumor.com

With all the 'self help nonsense' available today, I found it refreshing to encounter a workable, step-by-step program that I could apply to my day-to-day life and situations. My husband and I came away with a way to work with the life we have, instead of the idea that we should create a new one. With my background in therapeutic consultation, I found the direction and quality of this approach to be better than anything I have encountered. To anyone wanting to feel confidence and success, self-empowerment and instant control and direction in their life, I recommend Aaron's Anger Management ebook. ~ Leigh Feddema, Canada
