it shifts how we relate to them.”

“When you meet Theresa it is easy to see that she practices what she teaches. I witnessed her insight and thoughtfulness as a classmate. Her passion and compassion as a teacher and her wisdom, courage, and strength as a retreat guide. Your life will be enriched for having known her.”
