"Wow. To complete a training of this magnitude and depth has been a real inspiration to my life. I don't know how one could dive into the teachings without being in residency and fully committed. The day-to-day schedule has been rigorous, yet incredibly uplifting. I didn't know such confidence and lightness existed within myself. With immense gratitude to 'Niwas and the space this place holds.
