“I really feel like SCP is doing "the thing." we were able to create such an electric love as a group.” … “It was incredible to see the people I've cultivated a great friendship with on the discord satsang. I can't really put into words how meaningful and powerful it is to be able to sit in a room of 30 plus people and ugly cry because of my gratitude. Being held up by community is medicine.”
