Congrats also to session co-creators @Mitzi_Bolton and @seonacandy for opening up this space of care. Pandemic or not, every conference should have a wild card session

Such a great blog post from @julialeventon, (although the photo of Merri Corner garden in my old hood did make me a little homesick!).
Please let us know if you want to be a part of this so we can get this session up and running!
