TESTIMONIALS
Masterful Teacher
"Over the past five years, I've been regularly inspired and moved by Larry's wisdom, humility and sense of humor. He is a masterful teacher of practical spirituality. His intellect, extensive knowledge of metaphysics and self-awareness make his heartfelt lessons both illuminating and relatable. I'm deeply grateful for his leadership and inspiring wisdom. He is a courageous, creative and compassionate teacher, mentor and guide.

Transformative
I can say without exaggeration that I attribute much of my wisdom to Larry and his transformative, role model-like influence on me. Larry is one of the select few who exceeds my unfairly high standards for “influential.” First, his individual character is stellar: he is compassionate, caring, relatable, practical, and purpose-driven. Unlike many spiritual leaders and coaches, Larry is open about his own mistakes and does not talk down to the “less enlightened.” His character is a significant part of what makes him such a transformative presence, but that alone is not his whole impact on the world. He is also an effective leader and coach because his modus operandi is a unique symbiosis of the spiritual and practical. Like many others whose lives he has touched, I am wiser, more present, more spiritually grounded, and more joyous in no small part because of Larry.

Larry played an important role in my life during a time of great change and difficult transition. He listened with compassion and understanding, always offering insight into how my journey was for me, offering ways to see something that needed to be healed and to inspire personal growth. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to have Larry coach me as I voyaged through the dark and came through to the light.

Compassionate Guide
As a coach and counselor myself of nearly forty years, I can attest to Larry’s outstanding capacity to inspire, motivate, and help people grow to their full potential. As an authentic life traveler, who has met his own challenges with grace and grit equips him to guide others to move heroically through grief and loss, find their creative calling and improve their relationships,. Larry will be a great compassionate guide giving both wise guidance and practical tools for anyone seeking to find more inner peace and passion in their life.

Inspiring & Encouraging
I first met Rev. Larry at Unity Church in Santa Barbara and was thrilled by the undertones of non-duality in his sermon. Rev. Larry was always inspiring and encouraging the community not just with the weekly sermons he gave but the newsletter articles he wrote, the workshops he held and the personal counseling he offered. He is an extremely genuine and authentic teacher as he shares his personal, human experience alongside the profound spiritual philosophies he teaches. I’m grateful for Rev. Larry and I know his messages are needed and will be received by many in this lifetime. May you be the next lucky one to be uplifted and inspired by Rev. Larry

Inspirational, relevant, supportive
Reverend Larry is a very inspirational speaker and I enjoyed his Sunday service messages very much. His topics were always relevant to me, which made it a joy to go to Sunday services.
More personally, Larry was very supportive of me after my stroke. He showed kindness and empathy towards me always. Larry inspired me to share my stroke experience with others, with the hopes of making a difference in their lives. Larry also inspired me to use more of my talent and treasure for the good of others, helping me the best version of myself.
