I am deeply thankful to Mariana for the way she is able to guide us into tapping into all the knowledge we already have and building on it to bring an offering of meaning-making into our communities. I feel I wanted more of everything, but I wouldn’t have wanted less of anything, so I guess this means Mariana found a way to balance all the different practices that inform narrative bibliotherapy: theoretically informed, grounded in lived experiences and constantly dancing between literary texts and our own ideas.
