Just want to say, you should totally do this course.. is called 'Living Wisdom' a mixture of Psyco-thearapy and councelling (I think). I've been doing it for the last few months and have personally got allot out of it! It's great to get some tools to keep your self safe with self-awareness, personal development, gaining relational and spiritual insight, and general practical tools for life.
The full fee of $750 covers tuition, texts, and one professional counselling session
- which works out as $40 a session for 2.5hrs.. so cheap..
The peps that take it are quality;)
