“Having a space and time to think, reflect, ruminate, and be in nature among a group of equally dedicated individuals is priceless... This time, I had the privilege of being at Hambidge at a crucial time where I am dealing with burnout from another intensive Spring semester and refocusing on writing the book (which has a deadline for the first draft by end of December 2023). Sitting on the porch at Taylor house, overlooking the pond, watching the turtles swim, is the perfect backdrop to be able to breathe deeply and find energy to do the hard but so meaningful work I set out to do. I do not know how I would have refocused on writing and continuing my work in publish health without my time at Hambidge."
