"I am grateful for Lisa's teaching, and for the work I have done through this course. Lisa is a gifted teacher. Her thinking is well-organized and grounded in interdisciplinary research and theory, which she has clearly integrated into her thinking and into her own life. She brings an ability to communicate to a diverse group of others, using direct, concise language. She communicates with grace and compassion, that grace and compassion for self & others are the foundations of our work!"
