"The course was incredibly valuable for me, and I would definitely recommend it. It was valuable both in training on how to apply the method in the field that could not be gained simply by reading a manual, and for eliminating naive notions that one can show up in the third world and successfully apply the method without some practice or reliance on others with greater experience." 

 

"The ranch setting was perfect. The close proximity to the well working area and workshop was ideal and allowed us to most efficiently use the time available. The facilities were very comfortable and the layout was very conducive to group interaction."

 

"The icing on the cake was the music and the jam sessions!"
