When it comes to sem training there’s an abudance of seminars and conferences available today. Elite Retreat however sets itself apart by the number of instructors (or “leaders” as they are called) to student ratio. They also “screen” the applicants to make sure they are a good fit for the program. I have an idea [...]

Many bloggers looked back at 2007 with “best of” posts or are looking forward to the new year of 2008 with predictions and resolutions. No predictions or resolutions for me.
