Earlier this week I had a wonderful time at the @accessnetwork.bsky.social Annual Retreat. We reflected on hopes and fears for the project, its impact, and what it’s meant for us personally. A highlight was trying Lego serious play for the first time and of course spending time with lovely people 💚
