For zAmya: Selected comments from participants: "[These workshops honestly saved me from myself. I was an isolator, a fatalist, and close to real self-destruction. zAmya brought me out and the staff and participants made me a new person. I'm a year sober. I'm no longer depressed, I don't isolate. I have friends and its opened so many doors for me. There's not a better program because this one truly saved my life. The Monday workshop was a need outlet for me, therapy. I didn't miss one since Feb, keep it going. [The] Monday workshop was very educating [sic]. Fun and interesting for the brain?[I got] to know about different lifestyles and how to get along with each and every one. I love coming here to participate?It's a great way to start my week, creating happy moments for me.
