This program has been the most amazing ever, the best way to start the year! I honestly have been brought back to life, and I have made such amazing friends and met so many awesome people who were all here for the same reasons. I would honestly do it again if I could. I have cried a million buckets of tears as I went through this and ended it with tears of joy for how far I've come just from doing this program. I do not regret a moment of it. It's so beautiful and amazing to feel like I can just shamelessly be myself, and I haven't been my complete self since so long ago. I hope more people like me do this program, it is beyond worth it. I came in wanting to improve myself and my mental health and I have been revived.

This program changed my life. I was extremely stuck, lonely and lacking self-esteem. I found this program through social media and it caught my attention. I attended the information night and knew straight away that I wanted to join. I was scared going into the first weekend, what if I didn’t connect with anyone? I am so happy I faced my fears and did it anyway. There are countless opportunities to connect with amazing like-minded people. All of the activities are super fun and get you out of your comfort zone. Everyone makes you feel so welcome and loved. The leaders are so amazing. I have been vulnerable and completely myself. This program has done more for me than sitting in a therapist’s office talking about feeling lonely.
