Reviews
Some of the topics/themes seemed repetitive.
I always leave room for improvement, but the feedback from the participants was good. Everyone felt they learned something and thought deeply about the subject.
People reflected on their own growth in doing this work. Participants felt more confident and brave at the thought of hosting a difficult discussion.
