​More recommendations of Peggy Simmons on LinkedIn. 

​The feedback we get from participants is highly positive, across the board. Something extraordinary happens for participants—some of whom are not comfortable with reading and writing—as they experience the creative expression activities that Peggy proposes.  Participants often find a voice they didn’t know they had, and staff members pick up on skills through Peggy’s facilitation techniques that build our capacity as an organization. I highly recommend Green Windows, and Peggy Simmons, to any group aiming to empower, connect and uplift people.
