What People Are Saying *

"It was so thoughtfully planned and facilitated. I appreciated your intentional transparency and your modeling of responsive, flexible leadership. I came away feeling energized and enriched. The training has left me thinking hard about how I can make my classroom a smooth counterspace – about what both of those words mean in a classroom, about where/how my classroom sits inside an institutional (and social) structure, and about all of the emotional history students bring into any classroom."

"I am so happy that I attended the training! Cheyenne is very knowledgeable about the topics we discussed and very welcoming of other people’s thoughts as we learn new terminology and ideas."

— Jen, Boston University

"This training was intimate and intense but I felt like people were bringing their best selves. Conversation was nuanced, careful and honest. I would say it was more challenging, in good ways, than many of these types of trainings that I have been to in the past. Thanks Cheyenne for offering this truly valuable resource to the world. I appreciate all the work you are doing!!"
