“Every component of the class had an impact on me”

Had high hopes and expectations and CPM easily exceeded them…every component of the class had an impact on me and several truly stood out…retreat was an experience like no other and a permanent mental screensaver for me…so powerful to realize that all the stress and pressure I felt were brought on by myself…this is not the end but the beginning of a new life journey…people around me can tell that I’m different…don’t ever want to go back to my old way of life.
