Vrindy is wise beyond her years and gives compassionate and thorough advice. Her understanding of how different yet strikingly similar individuals are allows her to direct her advice and compassion to the individual while being able to understand the outside social factors of the situation. When you have a conversation with Vrindy it is almost as if she knows you better than you know yourself because of her ability to connect with people on such a deep level. Vrindy is an outstanding individual who I believe will make a positive impact on every person she encounters in, what I am sure will be, her incredible and successful life.
This group gave me a deep knowledge of how to create belonging - When total vulnerability (in this case brought about by intense self-reflection and group reflection) meets love and total acceptance; (this came from the hearts of the people in the group). I love how we are continuously asked by each other to share authentically, to put our guards down, and to just be. |
I felt the greatest sense of belonging at the turning point of feeling most isolated, unseen, and unloved, and being met there by love and support from the group. I was affirmed and held with open acceptance for my choices and my truth. From this group, I gained a new sense of trust in people and willingness to listen without judgment or taking on the weight of other people’s emotions |
One thing stands out in my memory specifically about the group development. While we were forming a community everyone felt seen, and was able to grow personally because of the group. While we all focusing our energy on the group, the individual was not dissolved in the process. On the contrary, we grew on a personal level, each in their own way, because we grew as a group, something I had never expected.
Vrindy approached her role with a humble preparedness and an abundance of enthusiasm. In our interactions, she has proved to be genuine, keen to challenge herself, and emotionally intelligent. She is unquestionably a community builder and a role model. Without any hesitation, I give her my highest recommendation.
When I think of emotional intelligence, I think of Vrindy. Not only is she very organized, intelligent, and well respected, she always makes time for the individual. She has a lot of experience, knowledge, and skill in building community and creating healthy, safe relationships both with people and among groups of people. Vrindy's interpersonal skills, her intellect, and creative thinking would be an asset to any team. I am so grateful to have had her as a mentor and I highly recommend her. |
I've had the pleasure of getting to know Vrindy both as a facilitator within the Authentic Reflections group, and in a personal relation outside the group. It is amazing to see how well she adjusts her role to what the group needs in a moment. Whereas in personal contact she very present in her role as facilitator she managed to take distance and let the community develop, despite her love for engaging in group dynamics. Because she knows she needs to let a group figure it out for themselves. |
