Choose Again

The Choose Again Society was founded in 1998 by a group of caring counselors, including Program Director Diederik Wolsak.
After a lifetime of self-abuse Diederik realized that there had to be a better way. He began applying universally recognized spiritual teachings and principles to his life and uncovered the inner peace that had been available to him all the while.
From the age of 20 Diederik (that was in 1962, it took another 44 years to become reality, yes, he is a little slow) had a vision of creating a place where people could gather to reflect on themselves and their lives and experience an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance, a place where the Self could be reborn in safety and in peace. That vision never wavered and in 2005 the dream took form when a number of past clients came forward with funding to support the realization of the centre. Three months later the center in Costa Rica became a reality.
With a team of dedicated and talented staff and volunteers serving a small number of clients at any given time, roughly a one –to – one ratio, the center runs year round.
In Vancouver, the home base for Choose Again, this effective methodology thrives with several weekly circles, one-on-one sessions and workshops throughout the year.
As Choose Again continues to grow, Diederik and other staff travel occasionally to offer Attitudinal Healing workshops and events internationally. 
The program has become a great success.
