    What Our Students Say

    I found a safe space to be myself, I feel comfortable with my classmates and tutor, this is my third year and I don’t remember one day that I wouldn’t have wanted to come to the class. The environment, classmates, tutor, study and exercises (all together) facilitated (and still are facilitating) my personal growth, a better understanding of myself and acceptance. This journey made me flourish. It is helping me to fulfill my purpose, keeping my life balanced, connected with reality and people.
