A few words from Duncan on learning with Selah...
"Learning with Selah Rose on these topics for the past 10 years has been life-changing for me on so many levels: deepening friendships, reducing how many conflicts I accidently initiate, being more aware of how much space I'm taking up and holding space for others, checking in with my own needs as well as supporting others, understanding the roots of conflict differently, ensuring people are heard and seen in conversation, and SO much more." - Duncan
