Rick Phillips [was] superb! An enlightening, charming, engaging experience all around. I learned so much from him, as did we all. Rick’s knowledge is legion, his delivery awesome, and his classroom management skills second to none. Being able to actually see and hear the performances [at the Toronto Summer Music Festival concert] transported us all.

“This [Morocco] was an excellent trip with wonderful accommodation, great meals and interesting sight
seeing. We loved the night in the desert and meeting a family of nomads. Both Laurielle and
Abdellah were helpful, kind and key to the success of the trip.”

John’s enthusiasm is contagious and encouraged all participants in a thoughtful discussion about relevant ideas and issues. He could not have been better prepared or more effective at pressing for meaning and honest responses. The entire week was energized — John’s ability to create real discussion about critical issues is rare.
