YOUR FACILITATORS
WHAT OTHERS SAY
Being in circle with Ronnie is a calming and replenishing experience that I can never afford to miss. Their sensitivity, compassion and experience make them an exemplary facilitator. Their presentations are purposeful, relevant, fulfilling and cathartic, and I always look forward to sharing space with them. To pass up this opportunity is to miss out on nothing less than a transformative experience.
—Austin, Grief Circle Participant
Ruth is a heart-centered and pragmatic facilitator who walks the talk - she is inclusive, trauma-informed and connective. When I attended a 10-step meeting facilitated by Ruth, her grounded presence helped me become more present and aware of my body in the conversation. It was clear that she had taken the time to sit with the sometimes heavy topics she was holding space for, which invited me to be more vulnerable in my own participation. She also brings joy and light which is always appreciated. I am eager to attend future events with Ruth as my facilitator!
