Comments from past participants:
“It reminded me that experiential connection with Immanuel always helps and that HE is always speaking.”
“It totally changed the way I see disagreements with others. Instead of letting the hurt tell me that I need to be aggressive to be heard, I can value the relationship more than the issue and move to resolution more effectively.”
“It grew my capacity to connect in a more meaningful way with the people in my life I care most about.”
