Testimonials

"[My favorite] session was to be a discussion about Creative Life/The Business of life balance. There were only three people, including myself. We only discussed the original topic for about 15 minutes then ended up moving into a very in depth discussion about character development. I love that we allowed the topic to flow with where ever the conversation took us. Of course that was probably due in part to the small size of the group."

"I loved it. The environment was friendly, it was free, and I learned a lot. I definitely plan on attending next year."

-- Emlyn

"Great job guys -- it totally rocked. Next year I will make sure I have nothing else planned that day and most likely I will volunteer now that I know what it's all about. Thanks for the great experience!"
