General

Thank you so much for your feedback and all the advice and encouragement you have provided along the way!  This course has been very inspiring and so worthwhile.  Again thank you for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm.

Thank you so much Javan, all suggestions and feedback I highly appreciate.  Every idea is GOLD!

I have been actively engaged in my personal growth for most of my adult life and though there have been so many things that have facilitated that growth for me throughout the years, I don’t know if I can say anything has been as effective so quickly as working with Javan on Holistic Life Design.

Many authors, speakers and ‘gurus’ offer broad concepts, and many offer very specific structures.

The Holistic Life Design Process is so effective because it takes a very broad view of something, namely yourself, and applies a framework. It isn’t a rigid thing that says do this or that different practice, in fact it works on an order of magnitude higher than that because it helps you make certain that this or that practice, or decision is a sound one.

After going through this process I am now equipped with a tool-kit that I can apply to any decision I make, and all of life is really a sequence of decisions. As novice to the process I can see how my continued use of this tool increases its potency as it is constantly refined and sharpened. What’s more, just as in life, this work does not seem to be just about the destination.

I am excited for to have the Holistic Life Design framework to apply to my decision making, but I was excited each week when I opened up the next module and got a chance to do some seriously deep looking inward, in some cases to places I had been very much avoiding even if subconsciously.

The process was set at a pace and in a sequence that kept me engaged and inspired to do more. At the end of the hard work, and it isn’t easy by any means, there is the reward of a tool you can carry with you for the rest of your life, and through the use of this tool you can enrich your life and the lives of those around you by showing up in your power and authenticity.

Don’t take up this work if you’re just looking for some easy means of making problems go away, that isn’t really realistic. However if you are ready to commit to yourself, and go through a process of discovery, transformation and integration of a powerful new way of making decisions, then get in touch with Javan Bernakavitch and prepare to do some homework.

We accomplished in hours what I’ve spent years unable to heal or change with cognitive therapy – it was an invaluable process! Javan’s a stellar teacher and insightful guide who is committed to seeing you succeed. He provided me with a number of excellent tools to help create key changes in my life.

Javan’s impact on my professional life has been critical to my success. He has a unique ability to perceive opportunities and to provide sound feedback. It’s a pleasure working with such a down-to-earth mentor and friend.

The Life Design component of our PDC, taught by Javan of All Points Life Design, changed the way our students proceed after the course. It equipped our students with the ability to identify their passions and talents and create a livelihood that fulfills them personally, socially, financially and ecologically. I watched as several students accepted the challenge to start a new business based on what Javan taught and I am proud to say they created an organic home food delivery business called Farm Bound, which has been recognized as New Business of the Year in Vernon 2017! As a permaculture designer, practitioner and instructor I have not come across a more useful, universally applicable tool than the process that Javan teaches.

Personally, having watched Javan’s process several times, I applied it to my own life which has led me to adapt my career path to follow my passion and pursue avenues in regenerate development that I had been suppressing. Equipped with Holistic Context and Life Design principles I am better prepared to make decisions, plan for the future and live my life to my highest potential.

Javan provides an immeasurably useful service; he helps find value. We found and prioritized value through dealing with Javan. The context allowed us to determine what was the most important to us. Javan strengthened our resolve to focus on those facets of our life and business through his ability to cut through the noise to discover what drives us. He brings with him a wealth of information and assortment of techniques, centred in holistic management, on how to achieve direction in your context. We found our time with Javan to be a catalyst on our way to achieving, or attempting to achieve, our goals. His incredible value comes in us finding our value. It helps that he is a wonderful being who we loved working with. Thank you Javan!

Hey Javan, I’ve rediscovered Permaculture Voices and I’ve been on a podcast marathon, and just listened to your 3rd and 4th editions. Also watched your recent video… I want to express my enormous gratitude for the value you bring into this world, and continue to bring into my life. In particular your story about “taking two sunsets and calling in the morning”, as well as your story about the children and their recognition of regenerative activities and relationships (the activities/relationships that yield 2 units for every 1 input.) Profound insights resulting from applying this… You are a gift to this world Javan, thank you for your commitment to helping others uncover theirs. Take care Javan!

This is amazing. It’s like a manual for our land and what to do for the next decade. Thank you. We both received clarity, insight and some very useful tools as a result of working with Javan. We both felt the Holistic Context work really helped us to get very clear about a lot of our farm vision. We would recommend it to anyone starting an agrarian project.

Holy moly, this has been worth every second. I realize now how funny and arbitrary my decision-making has been — just having general ideas and thinking I can wing something.

This process forced me to really evaluate my decisions holistically and I found once I actually did the ground work (researching, calculating, re-doing my budget) the decisions I initially desired totally shifted.

It felt so good to have a compass and destination. I feel like things are easier to let go of and the things that have the most potent return are re-energizing! It was a lot of work but I don’t feel torn anymore… I feel like I actually know how to make a decision for the first time in my life!

Where was this when I was 20?!?!

Thanks for bringing me through this process, I feel so fantastic, like scaling a peak and being like, “Damn! the view is good up here!”
