Season 4 Episode 318
Never before have I taken time after the spring workshop to get away from the internet, from people, and from modern life. And it did just what I said it would do - allowed me to take the time to process. Change is coming. Change is always coming, but this year, we have taken a special path and I want to share one lesson with you today.

The benchmark for every lftn spring workshop is that at least 1 or 2 people figure things out. They find that it they have been missing.
