The course gave me a much a deeper understanding of myself, forced me to challenge myself in multiple ways, and genuinely, taught me things I didn’t even know existed.
Otto is an excellent teacher and master at what he does. In addition to bringing in his knowledge of sound, he teaches how to use intuition.
