What would you say/give to our world if you KNEW you wouldn’t be judged? We ARE one, separated physically in such a way, that we all get to find out a littleabout what it is to be a human BEING. By pooling all this information, we get to see the bigger picture.
 
Every single one of us counts – our every view and idea. We seek to provide a safe environment to express what’s really on your mind and in your heart – a place to experiment with who you ARE. Come and Dare to Share and show you Care at this unifying event in the Inspiration hall at 5am.
