Testimonials

We hired Lerato and Anya to facilitate a workshop centring solidarity and justice in the food system and it was an absolute joy to work with them,. From planning to delivery, the process was smooth and they paid careful attention to the brief, crafting a workshop that directly aligned with our objectives and needs while incorporating their own creative approach. The event was an absolute success and I would highly recommend working with them as a facilitators!

Lerato is deeply thoughtful. She is mindful about creating inclusive spaces and working relationships. Lerato asks meaningful questions that open spaces of reflection and possibility, guided by genuine curiosity and what feels like a profound desire to create beauty, meaning, learning and connection, and also to co-create ideas and experiences that are authentic and powerful.
