Northern Star College of Mystical Studies
13155 156 St NW T5V 1V2 Edmonton, AB, Canada

I find it both inspiring and hopeful to know that within the city of Edmonton there are people like Kim Armstong creating programs that support a positive, inclusive approach to work. The ripple effect goes beyond the work environment finding it's way into home, heart and relationships.
