“This past week, I had an amazing experience attending BRI. I met the most authentic, kind, brilliant people who I now get to claim as my family of choice. I found a place I can return to for years to come to refresh and renew, learn with colleagues, and foster friendships. This week gave me the energy and perspective I needed to deepen my soul. #grateful”
