The Alta Mira staff sent me back into the world with a state of awareness, and a bag of tricks to fight off the inevitable urges that might come my way. I wish I had been exposed to all of the things I learned at Alta Mira many years ago. I can’t thank the staff enough for teaching me how to do it the Alta Mira Way, not my way.
