(What to Expect)What to Expect
Starting with enrollment, participants will be consistently invited to reflect, imagine, and share openly in a group setting. Though this experience is designed as an entry-point into our work, we ask you to prepare to explore your own boundaries in speaking openly and claiming leadership roles for yourself. We’re excited to work together.
