Feel the fire . . .

“We all suffer from burnout at some point in our lives. We start to wonder if our inner flame for what we do has been extinguished. The Eden Alternative makes you feel that fire again! It reminds you why you started in this field. It’s an ongoing process that not only reignites that fire, but supplies the fuel to spread that fire.”
