A trained Core Communication® and Couple Communication® instructor, Reni Bumpas was first exposed to the information in this course while her husband studied for his Master of Divinity at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS.
Reni particularly grabbed hold of the Awareness Wheel®, and used it for the next three decades, applying what she recalled in her personal life and with her family and in her professional life.
She was thrilled when both she and her husband had the opportunity to be trained as facilitators of this course in 2016. They are excited about offering this course to their community and beyond.
