"Rarely do you come across an opportunity to fundamentally change the course of your life. You go from living your life to watching yourself live your life. You go from waiting to talk to actually listening to people. You go from thinking about what others think to examining how you think....You become more positive, you become more compassionate, you question everything and you start to solidify what you have always heard but never understood."

- Sonia Sahney, Study group member, Toronto
