BACKGROUND: I was born in Melbourne, lived in 9 countries, and then landed in the US five years ago (NorCal then Santa Monica). I saw Sonki’s congregation a few times on a morning walk and thought “they’re my people.” So I begged Sonki to join his boot camp. I’ve enjoyed the group atmosphere and camaraderie. My stamina is improving, and I feel stronger. It’s been the one constant recently in these uncertain times. I am very grateful for the experience.
