What excites you about your work as a facilitator?I am interested in interacting with people from all walks of life, all cultures and all walks of society.

Workshops and groups give me the opportunity to work with this context of people’s lives.

The Quote Jehanzeb Baldiwala Resonates With
Is it our role to be unwitting accomplices of modern power, or is it our role to sponsor diversity in everyday life? Is it our role to promote single-storied conceptions of life – or to bring forth complexity in the sense of alternative stories of life? Is the therapy room context for the confirmation of the known and familiar, or is it a context for arriving at what it might be possible to know? Is it a context for domesticating the exotic, or is it a context for “exoticizing” the domestic?
