" A part of me didn't want it to finish. It was such great experience and it really helped me to explore the different area of my brain."

" Really so grateful that I hopped in - the learning has been great and this has been some much needed joy, silliness and connection with new pals."

"I have never felt safer to express myself, and every workshop, every class, has built my confidence to show up unapologetically."
