"The conference was more than I expected. Everyone was very welcoming and kind. It was full of very supportive individuals willing to share and who had a genuine interest in hearing one another, celebrating one another and encouraging one another. I was impressed with how approachable everyone was and how much was openly shared. I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for everyone that I met at the conference. Can you imagine the things that can be accomplished as a supportive united force? Very empowering. I was just so honored and humbled to be able to attend. I left inspired and balanced to return home. I feel refreshed and reconnected with my martial arts vision and myself. I literally cannot say enough great things about my conference experience."
