I'm so glad that you lead this experience for the group - it was masterful. I will harken back and be inspired by you when I try to facilitate MBM someday. You started perfectly by stating that you were nervous about us enjoying the experience - that vulnerability set the tone and allowed everyone to join with a similar openness.
I'm grateful to have known you these past 5 (6?) years - your transformation into someone who is really thriving in their life and work is my primary inspiration on this path. You've added so many brilliant suggestions to meetings and conversations. It is a true strength of yours. I'm also grateful for your forgiving spirit since I have not always been at my best.

Thank you for inspiring me to be a better person! I appreciate your compassion and openness. Thanks for bringing this program to IUSM! I am certain students are and will continue to benefit from it!

I have lots of appreciation for the cornucopia of things you are doing, from supporting the students, to diversity training, to actually understanding radiation and its effects on the body. And in particular I appreciate your working to bring these practices to the med school. I really wish someone had made these available early in my training—it would have saved a lot of self-induced misery. And the benefits of student doctors learning how to be present with their patients is incalculable. You are also a great facilitator, with a serene and welcoming presence that invites both intimacy and connection. (Are you sure you didn’t spend a couple of decades in Tibetan caves after growing up in LA?) And you do it all while juggling a clear commitment to being the best dad and husband you can be. So there are a lot of exponentially expanding waves of positivity emanating from you, sez me, and I am very grateful to have learned from you.

Thank you for being vulnerable and thoughtful throughout this class and helping to create a safe where we can do the same. I've learned a lot about ways to ground myself and to self-reflect, and hope to continue to work on those skills beyond this class!

Thank you for being a wonderful role model in the world of personal wellness and celebrating the wins! I have learned so much from you about vulnerability and taking the guilt out of self-care activities. I strive to be as centered as you some day! I feel so lucky to have been guided through this experience by you and Kristen, and I hope to share what you’ve taught me with others! I'm excited to continue working with you this summer and learn EVEN MORE about the importance of wellness!

You always bring such a positive energy to each meeting and provide such meaningful insight into each thing that is shared in the group. I hope I keep practicing many of the tools that I have learned from MBM.

Thank you!

Having the opportunity to learn from an MBM master as yourself has opened up my future in ways I did not anticipate. Your humanism shines through in each interaction. I look forward to learning more from you in the future.

Thank you for creating a beautiful safe space in which we all had the opportunity to be curious about our human experience and find our authentic voice. I greatly appreciate your guidance and friendship, and look forward to working on creating more wellness in our world!

Antwione, in an otherwise dark year, your friendship is light. I wondered who you were -not knowing your age, humor months ago when I learned you were returning to teaching. (I secretly pictured a wise, old man-your name is sophisticated sounding!) How lucky IUSM is to have you-wise but not old ;)
I appreciate your passion for your work and your 'can-do' spirit. Thanks for taking on this adventure with us!

# data[].attributes.body
So grateful to know you and learn from this class. You are a bright light, a leader, someone that lifts others up. Thankful for your friendship!

Antwione, You are definitely a role model for balance and leadership. I want to be like you when I grow up. I have looked forward to this class every week!
