Continuing Education

— Keith Russell

"The Playshop was an incredible happening, and regardless of the experience  level we came with we were all embraced equally and encouraged to develop to the next level. During the Playshop we observed people at all levels "modeling" facilitation behaviors, and practiced our own style and techniques--all in a very supportive environment."
