[PLEASE NOTE: I shared two different sets of content this month, so I recorded both sessions and published them as "Part 1" and "Part 2". They have DIFFERENT pebbles, DIFFERENT boulders, and DIFFERENT ponders, I promise!]
Enjoy this replay of our Monthly Zoom with the Team Ripples Patreon Community We followed our usual format:
pebble (a resource that I've found useful in my work or life)
boulder (and activity I'm using personally or professionally)
ponder (a collection of information and ideas I've been pondering)
The notes and links from the session are pasted below.
