Check out Micki's 2007 Video
Our thanks to filmmaker and editor Micki Manheimer for the following MYL 6-minute short she created from footage from the January 2007 pancake breakfast at the Red Cross Blood Drive in Portland. Our thanks too for the participants in the film helping to explain the unexplainable... what really is the MYL experience?

MYL Slide Show from 2007 Seminar
Thank you for your enthusiastic involvement in our 4-day seminar. We hope you've had some time to catch up on your sleep and tell your friends and family about your MYL experience. Many of you are experiencing the withdrawal symptoms post-seminar usually brings, but we hope you are reaching out to your groups and new found friends through e-mail and the alumni blog (see below). For a little reminiscing, check out the seminar slideshow that was shown at graduation below...
