Hi Margaret,
I don't really know how to answer this, other than the fact that I have had very positive experiences, and usually at least one, deeper, meaningful moment that happened because I was there. Something personal to put in my pocket, to take out later and look at, or something to remember and revisit outside of the abc's of the course. Also, the spiritual and healing energy at these clinics, can get so thick you can cut it with a knife..
