"The OutoftheBox course provided a safe and trusting environment to experiment through play and story-telling with some big life questions. It gave me the skills and confidence to take OutoftheBox into the different contexts in which I work, with an optimistic expectation that people will engage in a positive and life-enhancing manner. The humility, grace and professionalism of people running the course made it a joy to take part. I met some interesting people from different geographic locations and situations. What a great experience this has been!" Helen Kirkup, Neighbourhood Project
"My time with the OutoftheBox team on the course was life changing and life enhancing. I had an idea that OutoftheBox would be a really beneficial thing for a whole host of people and situations but I was thinking too small. My eyes have been opened by the tutors and those on the course with whom I shared the journey. Excellent experience and I thoroughly recommend it to others." Jenny Peeler
