About Ben
I started with Human.Kind in early 2018, and my place as Studio Manager in this community has grown and been shaped by the diverse humans who walk through the door each day.
If I had to prioritise my core values as a teacher and general human being, I would say that acknowledging my privilege, empowering students, being a mirror for growth, and creating safe spaces for all (genders, races, sexualities, religions and abilities) would be the things that rate most highly.
In the space you can expect my attention, warmth, confidentiality, fabulous outfits, fun flow based practices, and always my deep respect.
I am a proud member of the LGBTQI+ community and acknowledge my work occurs ancient unceded Kaurna land.
