  7. Jeanne – MARION CITY (verified owner)

    I attended a workshop with Carolyn Coil 20+ years ago and got so many fantastic ideas from her way back then, so when I saw that one of my available course options was with her, I was absolutely excited. She is as powerful and amazing today as she was back then. I appreciate how she lets us experience what we would have students experience to gain a better understanding of these tools. Then, reflecting on what we’ve done right afterward is so helpful.
