It was the coming together of well-experienced initiates. I laughed and cried and walked away with riches that changed my direction. [GL, PhD, Waldorf Educator and School Developer]

It was like being in deep dark rich soil. Growth taking place of who knows what? Joy, laughter, gentleness; inquiring minds and spirits. The young will dream dreams and the old will have visions. [MB, OSF, Lactation Consultant]

The aTLC conference is "food for the Soul" to nourish ME to share with others the rich meals I have experienced. [LL, CMT, Avon Chiropractic]

I came to learn more about attachment. What I got was the pleasure of experiencing the attachment process. [KB, Child and Family Counselor]

The meetings in Santa Barbara exceeded anything I could have expected. They were wonderful.

I have never seen so many beautiful people in the same place as I did here. Thank you! [GD, MD, Doctors Opposing Circumcision]

In 40 years work as child advocate, I never dreamed I'd ever see a so loving and dedicated group as this. [NL, Desert Hermit]
