"In our process of living, we can get caught up in our own self-centeredness and lose touch with who we are. This special weekend allowed me to access, appreciate, and grow my self-love and make decisions from my heart. My ability to love is much greater than I imagined, and I am grateful it's never too late to love. Everyone who attended, including the facilitators, contributed sincerely from their heart. Everything happens for a reason, and I can now feel and develop the love I seek within myself and with a romantic partner."
