Magdalene/Thistle Farms Speaker's Bureau
Magdalene/Thistle Farms speakers 'speak from the heart,' and provide passion and inspiration. Love and grace are the most powerful forces for change in the world, and we seek to carry that message wherever there is an opportunity. The universal truths of community, recovery and healing are central to our message of change, and that message is layered with inspirational stories that speak to the healing that runs deeper than the scars.
