You like Collaborative Practice but struggle with the question… Can I make a living doing this?
Woody and carl Michael talk about their combined 25+ years as full time peacemakers. What does it take? What are the ‘risks’? What are the ‘rewards’?
Woody offers an entire 2-day workshop on this topic, so this 30 minutes is just a start. To find when and where you can experience this workshop, click here.
With your questions and comments, we see this being a very lively as well as practical discussion which we’ll be continuing soon.
