Gabriel Halpern was an amazing success! We
feel very grateful that he was able to be
with us for a full day of learning.
We know that those of you who had the
opportunity to experience him will agree that
it was a lot of fun, and full of great
information. We know that those of you who
wanted to be with us and couldn't were
disappointed.
The great news is that Gabriel is planning on
being back here with us in the end of January
'08! So everyone who wants to experience his
teachings will be able to!
