“I am grateful for Rebecca Bender’s brilliant ideas to create Elevate Academy and to offer free access to survivors to this Academy. It’s astounding to me how wide and far her reach is around the world; connecting survivors in an intimate spiritually meaningful way...and connecting survivors with resources that are also changing the world in ways I cannot yet describe.”
