Testimonials
“I cannot adequately express the extent of change I have undergone as a result of attending this recent workshop. I have been transformed. All three facets of self-improvement have been touched and elevated… acceptance, knowledge and compassion. More specifically I have refocused attention to my wife and children and less to the mercenary transactions that I felt were so vitally important… I marveled at attendees transform from unwilling visitors to heartfelt participants. I salute you, Derek. Thank you!”
