What others are saying was most impactful

"Being able to be myself, surrounding myself with good people (I've always had a hard time getting along with other women, so this was a very positive impact for me!!)

"We were encouraged to honour OUR personal needs and invited to participate as little or as much as we preferred. CHOICE was a key component and I am grateful Valina reminded us of this frequently."
