There aren't enough words for me to describe to you what Kumekucha has done for me, if I attempted to, I'd take all week telling you and I still wouldn't be done. There aren't enough adjectives for me to paint a picture of the kind of impact that Kumekucha has had on my life - there is simply no way for me to adequately and satisfactorily share the kind of difference Kumekucha has made in my life. For me, attending Kumekucha was a rebirth, a relaunch of my life. I felt as if all my life I had been walking in pain, limping actually, but never knowing what was ailing me. But at Kumekucha, I was shown that I had in fact been walking around with a giant thorn in my heel. At Kumekucha, I was not only shown the thorn, but I was shown how to safely remove it, dispose the thorn and clean up the wound. Now I walk around pain-free - that's what Kumekucha did for me. The training was heaven sent; all the topics covered felt tailor made just for me. I learnt that I had been acting out the cycle of violence all my life, I learnt about the trauma I had experienced and how it had impacted me, I learnt about how to boost my resilience and take care of my wellbeing, I learnt so much I'd need to write a book just to share it all. I arrived at Kumekucha wounded, bleeding, limping and I left whole.
