"As soon as I found out about Teal, I wanted to find a community, where this language was spoken, and I could discover more. By being part of Teal Village, I feel that I have found a spiritual home, I have found my tribe, and I have a place where I can be who I am and learn who I am from people who speak a language that is more than words. It means I have support and accountability and everything I need to grow, to discover and contribute more appropriately in my environment. Since joining, so many things have changed and it is difficult to put my finger on them. I have grown in maturity and understanding. I have settled into a place of deeper peace. I view the world through a different lens, and interact with it with more compassion. My work has taken on a new edge, my relationships in general are more satisfying. I see more."
