Welcome from the Bridges team

Top Center - Bridges Peru teacher Jeanne bonds with workshop participants (Jace, left and Susan, right) at the September Seattle workshop in 2007. Jennifer geist, bottom center, will be helping lead the workshop this June/July in Cusco.
Hello all,

We hope you have read through your pre-departure materials and are starting to get excited for the Bridges to Understanding Workshop in Cusco, Peru, which will start in just over 2 weeks. We have started this blog in order for participants to introduce themselves and share their expectations/excitement/hopes and dreams before the trip. Then, once we're on the ground, we will assign a "blogger" role to a participant who will be responsible for keeping your friends, family, and anyone else interested in these workshops up to speed on what's going on! After the workshop, we hope it will help sustain the community we will build over the workshop and serve as a way to keep everyone connected to each other and Bridges' work. We encourage you to check out the blog from 2007's Guatemala trip to get an idea of how informative and important the blog can be.

We're looking forward to our adventure! To get to know your Bridges instructors Tania Westby, Greg Tuke and Jennifer Geist, please check out Bridges' About Us page. To learn more about Crooked Trails, who is helping facilitate the trip, please see their website here.
