“Fantastic experience, I was not sure what to expect and was nervous coming so far alone. MARS far exceeded my expectations and offered WAY more value than any conference or workshop I have attended. The extra activities were a wonderful surprise and the whole even was very well thought out…GREAT instructions, long class blocks, extra surprises, great caring board members, all inclusive, diverse instructors.”
