Testimonial:
“… Just a quick note to say thank you so much for holding such a powerful, pragmatic, insightful and healing space for those who came… I have to say I am quite moved by the skillful way you combine your lived experience of disaster response across countries, years and settings, bringing an understanding of the very real needs and threats to safety, rescue, communications, food, water and energy security, while holding the deeper work of meeting the grief and overwhelm we face with scale of the environmental catastrophe we are living with.
I have worked with despair and empowerment practices, and I found the simple and clear way you introduced this work really allowed people to go quite deeply, quite quickly without it being a huge and exhausting process. I found it really democratic and accessible.
I was happily surprised and impressed with how you gently yet firmly redirected the patterns of trauma some people were carrying, and the replaying of details of events, to self enquiry and radical acceptance, without making it a spiritual practice - simply people’s direct experience.
You give the men in the room, particularly, a way through, and I really want to thank you for being that person for them. Someone who knows, someone who sees and honours the reality of being a first responder, and someone who can say, it’s time to accept and allow yourself some rest and peace." - Jo, Blue Mountains
