This training was a constellation of riches.

Your teaching space is always considered, full of care and curiosity. It is joyful and infectious; you hold the tendrils of exploration and learning with robust insight and humour, Sophie. Your learning space is permissive, a place to investigate and invest in courageous collaborative learning.

This training was a constellation of riches, resources that were both bite-size and deep dives, discussions, practices and safe investigations to unpick and understand the delicate aspects of this practice.

The care you bring to every aspect, the simple structure of the online learning platform to access materials with ease, the courageous practice space, and how you championed each of us and our peer relationships helped us co-create a robust, hearty, and honest learning space.

What I value is how you model the Thinking Environment with clarity. We are all invited to ground every practice with our own self-care so insights are experiential, felt, and grounded—they matter. The ways in which you embody and teach the Thinking Environment feel intrinsically aligned with my values; it is grounded in moral courage.

This process helped me to stretch into my learning edge developing my practice at my pace with ease and a sense of joyful discovery that I’ve never experienced in any other learning or training environment.

What I appreciate more than anything is the grace of space (in your patience) to discover and integrate aspects of myself that serve the Thinking Environment in a way that is deeply meaningful to me and how I bring it into the world.
