"As a new facilitator I found the Gathering to be energising and uplifting. The community has a generous approach to sharing knowledge and experience. I feel like I’ve found my tribe, thank you Kirsty!"

"I love the SOF gatherings. They give me a chance to reflect, learn and share with other people who are in a similar position to me (business owner in learning). I enjoy re-connecting with people I've met before (or only online) and getting the opportunity to meet new people too. Everyone is welcoming, generous with their thoughts and it leaves me feeling refreshed."
