What blossomed from the fertile grounds of their dream fields into a reality was their vision of empowering thousands and tens of thousands around the globe into self-empowerment and fulfillment on a scale that previously had been seen as "just a dream".
A message from Virve and Jonathan:
Jonathan's intro:
My name is Jonathan Louis Trapman and I have been a student of life since 1950. I have graduated and succeeded through many incarnations of experience to have arrived today at a point where I am so happy and grateful as to be able to realise the dream I have nurtured since I was a small boy growing up on a large farm in West Sussex in the U.K.
That dream was to help others recognise their true nature and power, to own it and use it for the betterment of theirs and all life - animate and inanimate. By so doing enabling themselves to become masters of their own lives and stewards of the paradise and gift that we call Earth.
My family and friends never shrank from reminding me that I was, in both ideas and actuality, larger than life, even though my self-image and understanding were at times to limit that awareness. I am deeply grateful to all those I have been gifted to walk with for sustaining that belief when at times I became blind or deaf to it.
It is thus with the greatest of pleasure and a thrill deeper than I can truly express that when our paths crossed and life led me to the beautiful being that is my life partner Virve Viigand, I became certain of the ability and definitiveness of fulfilling my life's destiny.
The Academy of Abundance was thus formulated and begins to be grafted into the Tree of Life and Knowledge from which it had been seeded.
Virve's intro:

My name is Virve Viigand and I have always known and am eternally grateful for the fact that I have been privilged to know my life's purpose of being able to empower people to find their own purpose through questioning themselves, seeking their greatest assets hidden within and setting their own personal compass on their ship of self that it might sail toward the direction of purpose and meaning that goes beyond the mere survival of the vessel.
My birthplace in Russia in 1967 as much as my genetic inheritance of spiritual and cultural riches and the upbringing drawn from my mother's side gave me essential tools to understand the profound process of Natural Law. From my father's side the ability to order and contain, to discriminate and discover, sealed a rounded experiential set of tools that brought learning and wisdom into my experience and teachings.
Teaching and enabling others to voyage and discover the riches from the fertile lands of the Undiscovered and then to return with these riches to share with others yet to embark on such adventures and journeys is possibly the most fulfilling and rewarding gift that I have been endowed with.
The Academy of Abundance is a self-fulfilling Institute. It is an Education into Excellence that becomes the inheritance of each and everyone of us.
