“Thank you, Andrea for your care, challenges, and support in our learning. It felt very equitable, very "wayfinding," as though you were the navigator, but you needed the rest of your ship to make it to our destination.”
— Workshop evaluation
“She kept us safe and encouraged us to access emotional appreciation for each other. She did so in a way that was such an amazing experience and led to vulnerability and connection among the group. She brings a perspective on power and hierarchy that gave depth to the content.”
— Workshop evaluation
“The way that Andrea developed a story arc and narrative throughout the course was outstanding and really helped inspire and ground the learnings… The circle of awareness, acknowledgments, and appreciation that we did to close out the class really cemented our learnings and our growth in personal/community awareness and the practice of giving and receiving feedback, thank you for that opportunity!!!”
