Love it! I have been involved with Balanced View for over 12 years now. It has supported me to live a happy, healthy life and to know how to be kind and compassionate in ALL relationships. The support is incredible and invaluable. I enjoy the daily practice as it is so simple and easy to use whilst I work and am busy with everyday life.
I've been involved in Balanced View as a participant for over 11 years now. Over that time, I've taken up all the suggestions and advice that I've received as an active student of the teachings and trainings on offer, and due to that openness to be supported I've benefited immensely in multiple areas of my life, and in ways that were simply not available to me before.
My capacity to contribute to the world with my unique strengths, gifts and talents is now thriving. I have mental and emotional stability as as daily and ongoing, increasing reality. I have a depth of human feeling and emotion that was once numb, and is now vital, alive and rich with compassion. I feel completely held by the support on offer in Balanced View, which demonstrates a level of care and attention that is unparalleled.
For example, I have a trainer who is available 24/7 via email and often via video conference too, to support me in my own thriving in life and with any challenges I may have. He is someone who's demonstrated repeatedly and consistently through his actions that he's completely committed to my own well being and nothing else. He always replies withwithin 24 hours, and often within an hour! And when I feel I need some immediate support for some reason, like a family crisis or death, which has happened to me a few times over these past 11 years, Balanced View offers 24/7 livechat support online. This is completely amazing and a rich example of the level of care and love that Candice, the Founder and Director, has poured into every detail of the organisation.
One of the most enriching aspects of Balanced View for me is the global community. I've been to many of the centres worldwide and met countless people from all walks of life, all ages, all different statuses, careers, genders and backgrounds and due to the teaching we've all received there's a simplicity of connection and relating that is very real and rewarding. There are online trainings and meetings on offer every day, many face to face meetings all over the world, and literally tens of thousands of hours of free audio and video available online.
I'd always invite anyone to check it out for themselves, as it's of great benefit to so many people round the world and is a complete treasure.
Love

Review from Guidestar
I have been involved with this organization for over 7 years as a volunteer.
Although they claim to be a non profit grassroot movement, I have noticed in the years an increasing emphasis on devotion to the person of the founder who is currently worshiped as "unerring guru".
In my opinion, in the latest years, the organization has developed concerning cult-like characteristics. However, what is most relevant for my review is the way the organization manages the funds collected from its supporters. There are reasonable doubts that a significant part of the collected donations are given to the founder to increase the value of her private assets. The leadership does not provide the volunteers with a transparent view on how money are managed and decisions are made.
Nevertheless an analysis of the financial data available on line (forms 990 for non profit in section 501) has been submitted and published on my blog. This shows clues of possible financial anomalies for a non profit organization aspiring to be grassroot: https://abalancedviewofbalancedview.wordpress.com/2018/02/27/the-secret-of-balanced-view-finances-anthony/
I hope this can be help any prospect donor to make informed decisions.
Thank you.
