“I journal all the time and didn’t know if I was going to learn anything new. But I loved the reflection questions that you posed to us...
- Heather, former workshop participant
And the care ideas for after the class and suggestions for transitioning out of the journaling experience were so so helpful. I landed in some really helpful new places through the session and afterwards with follow up work that I don’t think I would have gotten to without your great reflection questions.
Thank you so much!"
“Thank you for the gift of your time and guidance tonight. It was just what I needed, and I didn’t even realize that I needed it...
- Deborah, former workshop participant
When I feel anxious, I can feel it in my lungs. It’s like there’s a lion sitting on my lungs, and I can’t get a deep breath. I felt that way for a few days. And I don’t anymore, and I didn’t by about half way through our time tonight… I really really appreciated this time.
