“When the student is ready the teacher will appear…― Tao Te Ching
The 9 weeks spent with Sarah and the other MBR participants were more than I could have hoped for or imagined. I had no idea who, or what I was and so I allowed the world to dictate, prod and tell me what they thought. This meant I hid away, as many times it was just too difficult or painful to try and stand up for something as ethereal as my identity. Imagine a guide who shows you the path to choices you have and have always had and wants you to go and get the ones that fit you. A cheerleader who wants you to decide what the best version of you looks like and then gives you permission to go and get it. Someone who understands your experience, and through theirs you see power, beauty and light. A person who equips you with tools to move forward freely. My head and heart are so full of positivity, a new way forward and a deeper understanding of who I am and who I get to be. Sarah creates such a safe space for people of mixed heritage to be fully who they are, explore aspects of themselves further and choose new possibilities for their lives going forward. The individual sessions were powerful, the group sessions so affirming and the workshops blew my mind in so many ways. People who understood the challenges and privilege we hold and how to help self-awareness, confidence and compassion grow in the world we live in, both within and around us. If you want to truly invest in yourself and give yourself one of the greatest gifts ever, your name should be on the list for this course. I didn’t know I wanted to be the student, but my teacher appeared and I am truly grateful. Thank you Sarah.
