“Brittney helped co-organize and co-facilitate two ~20 person work parties at my ranch.  These multi-day extravaganzas included organizing people around several carpentry and natural building projects, coordinating meals and snacks, and setting up the lodging and hospitality components. Brittney was instrumental in organizing and executing the events.  In particular, as the host of these events, I felt that I could fully count on Brittney, that she was a partner in making the event a success.  In addition to the more tangible ways she contributed, i also greatly appreciate the space she held for me, other leaders, and the group as a whole – helping us step into each day with clarity and communication.”
