"A belated discovery is that no one persuades another to change.
Each one of us guards a gate of change that can only be unlocked from the inside.
We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or emotional appeal." - Marilyn Ferguson

Values I have around facilitating workshops & trainings:
- Trusting the wisdom in each person:
- The most powerful and lasting learning comes from inside each of us. I want to support and empower that process.
- Connection between participants:
- I value the support a learning community can provide, so I am partial towards activities where participants interact with each other.
- Compassion and belonging:
- I believe that anything which people are struggling with or reacting to can be a contribution to me and the group.
- Safety and choice:
- I value people being aware of their choice in participating in the workshop itself, and any activities that we do together. This is especially true as it relates to physical and emotional safety needs.
