“What didn’t I enjoy about the conference? I had been feeling very drained this past week. But after being at the conference yesterday, I felt my cup was full again. I was surrounded by like-minded people. I loved how we were openly talking about how we could help our students, regardless of age, from the little ones up to our adult students, to become liberated and to heal.

“I loved the vibe of the room. Humans are humans, and we need to love each other and treat each other as such. [After attending the conference] I feel I can encourage, lift and help teachers meet the needs of their students in love. And help them develop skills and break the cycle of trauma and hurt and harm and violence and turn that into love and acceptance and tolerance. There is a lot I am taking from the conference.”
