What participants are saying about this course

“Oh, là là! What a wonderful experience this voyage and this course both were. Currently, my most prominent feeling is how badly I want to return to Québec! What a gift to be able to travel to such marvelous places as part of my job, and to have been able to reflect upon it in a professional and organized way made it all the more worthwhile... I find it so hard to make time to really sit down, write, and reflect on my practice, and this trip and subsequent coursework have given me a very fun and worthwhile opportunity to do so.”
