I would like to share with others the enthusiasm that we have a chance for humanity to take education to that level where it will be a source of trust, creativity and health. I see myself transforming into a functional skill everything I learned in this course on a theoretical and practical level.

I highly reccomend, the teacher was amazing, the program was well thought through; amazing learning spaces and guests. I will take many things from this experience, many things: starting from very practical group coaching methods, ending with everyday mindfulness experience to attarct attention, to be in the moment, to let the learnign happen.

It was the best and most precious week of my life. How will I use something from the course one year from now.....I have to make eye contact to motivate students. I should listen to my students and not belittle their problems.
Tanju ÇAMCI
School Principal, Turkey
I would like to say that my experience from the course has helped open my eyes and ears and has changed my philosophy and the way I treat students, my colleagues and the learning process in general. I realize day by day that I find every day in front of me what I saw I heard and felt in this course and all this creates the need for me to act experimenting and following my instinct.
