Diego, I stand corrected! Rented or bought, the important point was the positive effect it had on the sessions, which in my mind was undeniable.

Hi Scott!

Well, I wanted to make something clear: the furniture was, in fact, rented

It was our pleasure to have you here. Now, for me, it was a fantastic learning experience, which left me with lots of personal doubts and ideas. I just hope to have enough clarity as to act on them.

Like I told you, it is surprising to realize that this risky bet made sense. It is great to see so many people learning together, but at the same time is inevitable to realize that the energy you mention appears just because we decided to unstructure the space and the activities, and to remind everyone that we are all learners.

So your presentation was perfect, because it helps people to see this as a personal process, beyond any formal training involved. Thanks for that.

I’m really glad you enjoyed your trip, and I hope to see you soon!
