An Introduction
"Coming back to the program five years after graduating was a gift to myself. I wanted to have a refresher and connection with other DMTs since I don't get that [at home]. I came for professional reasons, but was touched very deeply on a personal level. Each of the instructors brought in their own style and personalities which showed many different approaches to DMT. FANTASTIC WORKSHOP!! Thank you!!" —Susan Tutino, MA, CADC, CSAT, CMAT, R-DMT
