“If you have the opportunity to go to the Florida Nature and Culture Center, don't waste it! I have been four times in seven years of practice, and each time I was able to take my practice to another level. If you are stagnant, go. If you are suffering, go. If you're a new member, go. If you're a leader, go. The FNCC is for everyone. You will return renewed, refreshed, and redetermined to fight and absolutely WIN in every aspect of your life. Buddhism is win or lose. Going to FNCC is a definite WIN.”
-Nicole D. Collier, Southeastern Region
