"The in-person experience was truly invaluable for me. I knew I needed to be in the room to fully engage and get the most out of the experience. Beyond that, I really value relationships, connection, and camaraderie, and the program created so much space for that.
Being physically present allowed for real conversations, deeper understanding, and a level of engagement that would be hard to replicate over a screen. It also created a rhythm and energy that made classes something I genuinely looked forward to each week."
