Crossing the threshold
Taking part in HEDS is more than signing up for a course – it means stepping into a shared container for learning. This requires presence, openness, and a willingness to stay with the process rather than focusing only on the product. By crossing this threshold, you commit to a journey of reflection, experimentation, and co-creation.
