Feedback from participants:

"Everything you shared in the session resonated with me, from working at the edges to actively managing and living ambivalence. I feel most overwhelmed when contemplating the size and strength of institutional force, as you described. But feel less alone after listening to you and reading through some of the material provided - it has helped me understand my position and challenges a little better"

“I've just finished listening to you speak... I felt so much resonance in my body and heart that I felt I had to reach out and say thank you.”

"This was excellent! Thank you. The facilitation was really good.
The presentation at the beginning really powerful and really made me take time to think more deeply. The opportunity to come together with so many interesting people and have conversations was much needed
– interesting topics and engaged discussion."
