Season 12, Episode 8: Andy Milberg

Trained directly by Bob Hoffman, Andy has been teaching the Process since 1991 — and remains one of its most thoughtful voices on the core teaching of Negative Love.

In this episode, Andy and Drew explore how the Negative Love Syndrome quietly shapes our lives — and why it can be so difficult to change. Even after decades of teaching, Andy shares he’s still discovering new, subtle ways it shows up.

You’ll also hear reflections on Hoffman’s early origins — including the essential question that led to Bob’s core discovery: why is it so hard to change?

For Andy, the Process revealed something simple, but life-altering — who he had been wasn’t who he had to remain.
This is the kind of change Hoffman points to. Not becoming someone new, but reclaiming what’s always been there.

Dear Graduates,

At Hoffman, we believe this work should remain within reach for all who feel called.

Today, we’re introducing a tiered pricing model — created with care, to honor both accessibility and sustainability:

• Sustainer Rate — This is our standard rate, which covers basic program costs.

• Sponsor Rate — Our standard rate with an added U.S. tax-deductible donation for those who are able to support. This option is not available for the Canadian residential retreats.

• Supported Rate —This rate is supported by donations, allowing us to offer inclusive access to our programming.

All options are shared transparently at checkout, so you can choose what feels aligned.

Raz Ingrasci and Liza Ingrasci established the Hoffman Institute Foundation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 1994, with a vision of expanding access to this work. Today, scholarships support 20% of participants — a reflection of that ongoing care.

If you feel moved to give, you can support the scholarship fund via the donate link in our bio.

With love and light 🤍

Feeling something? Share it in the comments — and swipe for the full ‘feelings’ list. Today’s word: PEACEFUL

To be peaceful is to experience a sense of inner calm — even when life around you feels uncertain or in motion. It’s the absence of inner conflict, a quiet steadiness that comes from feeling grounded, present, and at ease within yourself. Peacefulness isn’t about perfection or escape, but a gentle return to stillness, where acceptance softens resistance and you can simply be.

Season 12, Episode 7: Carrie Levine

Certified nurse midwife and functional medicine practitioner Carrie Levine has long been drawn to deep exploration — of self, nature, and healing. After discovering Bob Hoffman’s teachings years earlier through No One Is to Blame, she completed the Hoffman Process in 2024, where that idea fully came to life.

From guiding women through outdoor expeditions to supporting them in the labor room, Carrie’s work has always centered on presence, empowerment, and trust. Today, she integrates that same awareness into her practice — helping women understand that true health begins with alignment of mind, body, and spirit.

As Carrie says:

“That was two years ago that I went…and I still refer people almost every week when there’s clearly a deep pattern that women return to, that they have yet to shake themselves from…I think someone will benefit from getting pulled out of their life so they can have time to think about themselves…because that’s one of the challenges for women who work and are parents — where is there even a moment to think?”
