"For me, each of the experiences went beyond anything I could have done on my own. I'm someone who does connect with the outside and the wilderness in ways that renew me and feed me and energize me. But the combination of the spiritual, physical, mental and emotional experiences really forced me to look at things in an entirely different way. I could stay [out here in the wilderness] another week because I still have a lot of work to do! (laughing) It was life-altering for me."
~ Susan Turner
