“This was more than a learning experience, this was a sacred experience... discovering how to channel the frazzled energy of still-fresh grief into something that matters…both personally, and on a larger scale. I feel as though I am part of something very important...on the ground level of something destined to become big.”
- Laurie Ciardullo
