The ways learning to give with my whole heart has impacted my career trajectory are many: I shifted out of teaching graduate social work students at the University of Denver to learning and teaching community herbology & permaculture skills; I shifted out of professional social work into work in restaurants and hospitality; and I shifted from a model of work that provided services to folks to a model that supported communities in organizing themselves.
I find the work we do at infused continues to challenge and support me in working with a stronger connection between the analytical and the human experience. We are constantly asking ourselves how we bring resources to a group, build good thinking, and also engage in supporting folks to be deeply connected to each other.
