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 where ever there is an opportunity. The universal truths of community, recovery and healing are central to the message and that message is layered with inspirational stories that speak to the healing that runs deeper than the scars.
