Former participants say:
“For me, the Personal Discovery Course was a reminder once a week for six weeks to ask myself "Why am I here?" and "What do I want?" It's hard to get to where you want without knowing what that is. The Personal Discovery Course helped me to figure out what school and life meant to me, as well as a group to connect and grow with. I can now go into second term with a clearer idea of what I want to gain, my purpose of being here, and exactly why I'm doing what I'm doing.” – Dana
Open Circle’s Personal Discovery Course was the perfect way to start my fourth year. I started the school year wanting to reflect about the person I had become over the last four years and who I hoped to become before leaving university. I have always been a reflective and spiritual individual, but this course guided me on the path to asking the right questions to finding the answers within me. I really enjoyed how we started the journey as a group of strangers, but by the end, I felt that I knew the people within the group on a deep level. - Sandra, Fourth Year Kinesiology Student
