Wendy Palmer, you’re the kind of person I’d love to visit once in a while, have a cup of tea and a nice stroll in some beautiful garden while we continue our interesting conversation… Thank you for such a delightful and inspiring session.

Thank you so much for this! The lightness of Wendy’s presentation, and the soft and interested listening of Peter Weng, made this talk a delight to listen to and very accessible. The content is so down to earth and I can and will ‘use it’ straightaway. 🙂

Dear Wendy,
thank you so much!
Ahat a surprise that coincidentally I read in your book “The intuitive body” 10 days before (I received it from a friend 2011!
thinking “how may Wendy Palmer being now and what is she doing right now?”
Not knowing you would appear here in the summit!
Since 25 years I am practicing zen and Aikido, and went to Japan 2009 (still here)
to explore deeply in practices with the goal to make the fundamentals accessible to people who cannot do the practices in a common Dojo.
The more I am practicing the more I am sensing it is necessary. And as well working with archetypes and so on I am very familiar with and it is so nice, as if being your younger sister. The basics are somehow neglected in Japanese Dojo (patriarchal and male hormone guided which lead to what you are describing due to (tightness and less compassion in the hierarchical) it is rare that the outcomes of neurosciences or other scientific updates are applied as I already do in my education context teaching at university young students. So I feel confirmed and supported in my perspective concerning the future. I tried to access your homepage to contact you personally but there is shown: “error page”. Would you be so kind to set a Link that works out in the answers of the comment page here? ps my mother tongue is German, please excuse if I do not express perfectly..Wendy, sending blessing to you and again, what a coincidence.

Oh Wendy! Thank you! Uplifting! I am centered on “We are connected and in this together!” I think about Mother Theresa, Dorothy Day and Sister Alicia when I am thinking of “What would ____ do?”
Esperanza Suarez March 22, 2020 at 6:55 pm
