Join us for a conversation with three teachers certified in both techniques: Julie Foh, Petrina Kow, and Michael Shipley. We will discuss how the contributions of this international community continue to enrich and evolve the two techniques, as well as the challenges of endeavoring to create a truly global pedagogy.
