Testimonials

"I have definitely seen growth and change as a result of this program.  I have been really leaning into what this shift means to me regarding my spirituality and starting to truly evolve.  The work of Dare to Lead, being in the module with the cohorts and led by Frances in real time, experiencing the tension and how we navigate the tension of raw vulnerability, was extremely helpful.  I feel like after about 6 months of releasing that systematic, institutionalized way of thinking and trusting the process, I became so transformed internally."

"Our work together made visible to me past hurts that I had so exiled that I didn’t know they were there.

I am actually using these skills in my work as an educator as well as in service in movement and faith communities. "

"I am SO satisfied with my growth in The Order of Hildegard. I have enjoyed being challenged, finding new ways to express the purpose and passions I feel for a chaplaincy ministry, and I have healed so much through the friendships that I gained through the cohort and greening group."

"I’ve grown in awareness and empathy, but mostly through relationship and real conversation—not theory or debate. My daily work as a midwife already brings me into connection with people from a wide range of backgrounds and beliefs, and this program helped me trust that showing up with love, humility, and presence is what truly bridges divides."
