This analogy becomes the "living language" during and after the program. Next, participants are challenged as they suspend their judgment of others to see what others see versus what they may see. Finally, participants test their insights and knowledge against old habits and approaches thereby providing further insights into what they know versus what they do.

The experiences in Tu Casa, Mi Casa are engaging and fast moving. They include dialogue, experiential exercises, debriefs, and brainstorming
