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.
It has to be said that without the inspiration, clear sightedness and brilliance of mentors such as Bob Proctor, Larry Wilson, Mark Victor Hansen and Michael Beckwith who came into our lives recently, we would probably be still stumbling around the rich pastures that make up the seeker's path to awareness, with far less of a rudder and the tattered sails of stormy experience to guide us toward the horizon lands of our true heritage.
It is with eternal thanks and gratitude that we acknowledge all our mentors and teachers as the dynamite that propelled our progress towards success and infinite abundance.
