Embedded Files
Our founder, Christine English, brings three decades of interdisciplinary practice — spanning law, education, recovery, and contemplative science — to organizations and institutions seeking more than a talk: a framework their audience can actually use. She has spoken in university, legal, and community settings on trauma-informed and restorative approaches to boundaries, systemic change, and healing.
