Testimonials
Hi Lawrence, A note to say I appreciate you so much. Thank you for your sensitive, generous and creative facilitation. You have a very special presence.
— 2020 Spring workshop participant
I just wanted to thank you for being such a dynamic and thoughtful leader for us this week. As you know, I had deep anxiety and I am not only relieved but excited about what is to come. You created a safe space that I was unsure was possible – one where we could all connect and be honest and display vulnerability and learn from each other. Thank you.

Don’t hesitate to ask.
