#64: KiddDitto with Kay Newman

“ ​You know, they didn’t have a toy that that looked like them. And a couple of things that we’ve found that have made this work so rewarding is that the moms of two of the kids immediately took the toy from helping the child understand their own experience to taking this to school to help their peers understand what’s going on.”

#62: Showers For All with Jenn Kloeppel

“ And they would say, Jen, I can find food if I’m hungry. There are places I can go for food. I can find a shelter bed if I need it, but I haven’t had a shower in six months or eight months or nine months, and so the idea of having mobile trailers meant that we could go directly to people.”

#59: Huts For Vets with Erik Villaseñor

“We weren’t having like a group therapy session. We weren’t talking about this one time in Iraq or this one, you know, that’s not what the program is. We were talking about Robert Frost and two roads diverge into what all of a sudden we’re having these discussions and some of them, you know, do reflect on our past in the military and most of them do, that’s kind of the framework.

Right. But it was this like intentional, very deliberate way for us just to get talking and sharing some emotions, being vulnerable.”

#48: Keeping Hardrock with Dale Garland

“Some of the most meaningful… some of the most emotional things I’ve experienced as an RD [Hardrock Run Director] has been standing at the finish line and what kissing that rock means to people.”

#47: Healing Advocacy Fund with Sam Chapman

“When we’re able to step into the shoes of that person who’s struggling, people start to open their minds about what their willing to allow to be an ok answer to helping those people and I think psychedelic healing is really starting to jump into that lane and into the driver seat.”
