"We were really in need of a safe space to examine our feelings and discuss the details of why we left (our organization). Simply put, we came with a mix of pain and sadness. It was a tremendous amount to unwrap, discuss, examine and process. Both Mark and Jennifer were professional, kind, caring and very understanding ... We both felt heard and very supported. An added plus is that High Meadow is lovely accommodation, very comfortable!”Â

"I came to High Meadow after a couple years of stress and confusion caused by team conflict and organizational challenges. In a season of uncertainty, it provided a peaceful environment to rest, spend time in nature, process relational dynamics, and start taking steps towards the future. Working with Jennifer and Mark, I felt understood and cared for, and I was able to wrestle with hurts and hard questions in a safe environment. In addition, they were very helpful with any practical needs or questions, such as figuring out transportation when I didn’t have my own car. I came out of the debrief and coaching time with some concrete steps for the future. The option for follow-up coaching has also been helpful, giving me confidence that as I navigate change, I can continue to find support."
