It is like we have been lost the entire time and now we have the life skill for 100 years. It is great and its really inspiring. This 3- day conference was reassuring and gave us actual things for us to do. It wasn’t all talk and was practical. It wasn’t self-indulgent.

Feeling inspired! I came to this event with an open mind and heart and left with a completely different outlook on life. For the first time am excited about the journey instead of focussing on the result. Thank you again!!

I personally got a lot out of the event which has made me re-evaluate everything. I have a direction and purpose thanks to you and your event. I’m now starting to write the next chapter in my life.

You all need to be congratulated on such a huge success. You all have put so much effort into the format and offering an amazing experience for everyone that came along.

So glad that I was able to attend the first conference of many to come and now to be part of your community.

Great event and thank you for having the courage to step out. Your framework around ‘conscious living’ really clicked for me especially around the concept of blending. The event was real and authentic unlike many I have been to.

What an inspirational event. Still feeling the buzz of amazing energy from the last three days, created by every single speaker, participant and the A Higher Branch team. We learnt so much including the importance of family and friendship, and we feel part of whole new circle of friends, if not family. Thank you

Thanks Sam for creating such an inspiring, valuable and life changing wholistic formula for living your most, healthy, loving, giving and productive conscious life! It’s a TOTAL game changer! I cannot wait to implement the amazing knowledge from such profoundly inspiring, intelligent experts in their field, you definitely found the best of the best.

It was absolutely fantastic and just what I needed honestly!! I am excited to start processing all the principles and applying them and formatting my journal. It gave me so much energy.

Upgrade Your Life 2019 gave me a renewed perspective, a practical and pragmatic way to approach goals; it was insightful and expansive in wisdom; it was a sense of belonging amongst a community of likeminded people who made you feel valued; it was a safe space that was kind, caring and nurturing but uplifting, invigorating and exciting all at once.

It wasn’t a conference that was out to sell, it was out to share and spread love and happiness.

Sam

Upgrade8

This richness of the experience is quite indescribable; the power of the speakers you’ve chosen is off the charts. Wow!! The most wonderful things is that both myself and Rhiannon are sharing this; and it has already changed who we are.

Upgrade17

Feeling amazing. Loved every moment. Filled with gratitude and inspiration and enriched by wonderful new friendships. Thank you A Higher Branch for so thoughtfully curating such a magnificent event, and for inviting me to be a part of it.

We were not disappointed. We were provoked, entertained, enthralled, educated, inspired, amazed, a little sore! Humbled, strengthened, shaped, surprised, gratified, at times a little weary, uplifted, loved, reconnected… and upgraded!

And then there was Sam. Never heard of you before this event, now feel like I’ve known you for ever!

Thank you, Sam, for a smile that could stop a charging lion, for your knowledge – and willingness to share it, for your courage in pushing through the incredible challenge of putting the event together, for the love that obviously drives you, for the fun we had and for setting the perfect pace.

Martin

I love your system, your idea of conscious rituals, your passion for energy and all that creates it, your honour of health, your conviction for transcending ‘average’ in all key areas of life as a personal obligation, and for your heart, in bringing this life changing education to us so we can all find our wings.

Michelle

Upgrade20

Thank you for allowing myself and Matthew the opportunity to connect and grow with so many people. I have learnt over the past 3 days that we are more than enough, we possess the skills, love, wealth, charity and health to succeed. Knowledge is key, you and your speakers have provided that knowledge. Thank you for believing in us and in your own skills to do this.

Rose

Upgrade4

We are at a juncture in history where we have lost a lot of traditions and we don’t quite know how to live. So Sam has given us important tips that I think are going to be effective. It is a system that we all need. This is a movement. What I like about it – it is not airy fairy nor hard.

This is science that you have given us. It is practical. It is very well rounded.

Nick & Helen

Upgrade24

Thank you all for invigorating my soul. Swimming at the beach and dancing the nights away brought me closer to myself and drew me to the people that attended. I love hyour energy and warm chakra. Hopefully these 8 areas of life can lead me to have a soul as kind as yours.

Zac

Upgrade23

Thank you for entering my life as an angel at a time when the outer world saw success and achievements, when in truth I was running myself to the ground. I needed help. Sam, you are a very genuine and generous human being. I am fortunate that we got to meet.

Bernard

Rhiannon

Thank you to you and your team for organising this beautiful event which has inspired me to implement your framework and the information I learnt into new habits and routines. I cannot wait for 2020!
