A Four Session Peer Support Series

Some of us are just beginning the arts facilitation journey, and some are more practiced. To support you to prepare for your peer connection session I ask you to take notes and reflect honestly upon where you are now in your practice. As part of the peer sharing circle, I will also share in our circle if there is time. I look forward to connecting with you in a deeper way, and supporting your arts facilitation journey!
