“Thanks again for the workshop yesterday, I really valued the time and space to share and reflect on the importance of sharing stories, what “lights our fires” and listening to your music. I liked the rhythm of the workshop – having three parts, and each part repeated 3 times. Music is such a powerful tool and I’m excited to think about all the hearts you will touch when you go on tour!”  Helen Tulett, Passion People Planet participant, 2013.

“Charlotte is truly amazing in providing support and reassurance to stick to your dreams: “One step at a time”, “Follow your heart” and “Trust the process”. After the course I feel I have made the first steps to rediscover myself and over time realise my big green dream for transforming urban transport: “Move slowly and you get there!”  —Willemijn Vermaat, Green Dreams course participant, 2011.

“It was just what I needed and I got so much out of it, far more than I had imagined beforehand. The strong positive encouragement and emphasis on self belief really helped …” —Rebecca Toon, New Zealand, course participant, 2010.
