"The Experience Transforms Practice series has been such a rich and rewarding journey - I feel empowered connected and better informed through all of the wealth of sharing of everyone's hearts and minds."
"I loved how the presenters moved in between structural and individual applications! I learned some tools as a supporter on an individual level but also some food for thought on ways I can contribute to broader changes in the system, or outside of it."
