Program Resources & Links
On this page you'll find a selection of resources to help you apply, and gain deeper understanding of the concepts covered in your group program.
The resources are separated by medium, and you'll find relevant organisations, podcasts (online radio shows), videos (YouTube and TED talks), books, blog articles, clothing retailers, and social media accounts to follow.
If you find anything confusing or challenging, or if there's a resource you think I should add, please feel free to reach out to me via email at any time in the future. Enjoy!
