what’s with the white table? With the recent closure of our space in Washington, DC, I have been doing some serious introspection as to how to take Own Your Wonder forward in a way that serves our clients in a meaningful way and fulfill our mission.

Kris, I love ‘hearing’ from you in this way — I feel like I’m at the white table! My self-care goal : lots of healing. This year has given me time for self-reflection. Though I also find meditation difficult !! I look forward to your newsletters :) —Bonnie

And using this forced sabbatical to create in the present what I want for my future . And dancing to music whenever I feel down! Wish I could sit at the White Table with you!
Kristina, This is a fabulous resource and way to bring us together at a time so much escalation exists! I'm an advocate for calming influences and you are part of that. I'm here to help and contribute in any way I can!
Hey Kristina - I appreciated your reminder to stop and reflect and take care of self. One of my favorite memories with friends was a makeup session we had at Own Your Wonder. It was a glorious afternoon of laughter, fellowship, beauty and joy. Thankful to you for this newsletter and your willingness to always cultivate an environment where those things thrive.
