"Through this event, it allows me to understand myself better. Every person has different perspectives and different emotions, happy or not happy, or anger, hear different perspectives will help us to learn and see a bigger picture. I would like to get myself better at listening because I believe listening is an important skill for me to connect with myself and others. Everyone is very kind and open up to share their emotions, and allows me to understand all the people better.”

“There are a lot of things I have gotten out of this and that was unexpected. I really like how everyone in this group is different. What I think that brings us all together, despite of everyone is different, there’s a trust layer. So I can be honest, and I don’t need to say everything is great. I felt really good, I felt heard, everyone was actually listening. Also the benefit of listening to other people, heard similar experiences from other people.“

"I have been really challenged to live in the present these two weeks. What I found through the session today is my body is more relaxed through our session, and I feel more present to my physical body, and this is very helpful for me, because I feel more balanced. I probably make better decisions when I feel more balanced.”
