Thank You Volunteers

We didn’t want to wait a whole year to thank those of you who volunteered for The International Focusing Institute during the first half of 2023!  So, for those of you who led a workshop, managed Zoom, wrote an article, translated, or did so many other tasks small and large – we really couldn’t possibly do all that we do without your generosity.
