Joan Walker, NC 108 b:
From the Legacy trainings I created a new understanding and experience of myself and my place in the world. I got to accept the parts of myself that I had hated, feared, marginalized and ignored for most of my life; trying to avoid pain but the whole time I was just creating more pain and disconnection in my life and relationships. I created a healthier body, a deeper connection with my power to make change in the world, a relationship with my mom and my marriage. I'm able to be the mom to my daughter I couldn't have been before and hopefully am able to instill in her that she is just right the way she is and is a powerful force of good in the world. None of these things is perfect and the Legacy trainings didn't "fix" me, but now I at least understand that I'm not broken and have a lot of tools to move through challenges in life with love and acceptance of myself and others.
