If you had to speak to people your age that had not had this kind of experience, What language would you use? Like if you were to tell two or three friends that hadn't come into Brosys or hadn't had this experience in nature, what would you actually say to them in terms of why this is worth their while?
12:39
First, I think it depends on the person.
12:42
Like if I really want to get them interested and hooked on to Brosys, I got to know what their, you know, their likes, their desires.
12:51
So if I were to tell them about Brosys, I would just say it's all about community.
12:56
and finding your identity and purpose, which really helped me find a great direction in life.
13:04
And when I say community, I say like, Oh, you could just always come to roses, come visit.
13:09
And people are so overly nice here to the point that you'll just be saying hi to people you don't know sometimes.

I don't know if Elias and Camila want to share some experiences in these core groups, because I think it'd be valuable for you guys there.
