"Just wanted to say that this week was the most profoundly meaningful experience of my life. As I was driving back to the hotel on Wed evening, I thought of 3 phrases to express how I was feeling:
Life changing; life affirming; life giving.
I will be forever grateful to everyone who shared their experiences, knowledge and stories; both teachers (animal and human) and participants, but mostly to the bears and the other wildlife who gave us the privilege of "being" with them in such a gentle and spiritual way; in such a beautiful, peaceful and welcoming space.
Saying thanks just isn't enough to express the heartfelt gratitude and joy of this adventure."
