"The Nature in the Workplace workshop you developed for ATRA in 2020 would be wonderful to promote self-care during Recreation Therapy Month here in Alberta for February, 2022. Would you be willing to share this workshop with our agency of 15 staff?.... I am thrilled to be able to share your amazing work!"
