At the start I wasn't sure what to expect given
the way my life was at the time. I'm leaving with a great sense of
satisfaction with the inner peace that the experience has given me.
It was great to discover that we're all the same and all part of a
greater whole, and to find new ways of sharing. The inner peace
that Ken imparts brought out the best in all of us. I will be
recommending this programme to my colleagues.
