Meet Rui: The Butler
Rui is our Butler (and Digital Janitor). Our cheerful and simple smile at the door before you walk in. So grateful for his presence to weave us together in non-complicate ways and to remind us all to stop and truly and simply be with one another. From a technical standpoint, Rui is the one who will be keeping track of all of us (facilitators, members, staff, collaborators) and reminding us that we exist in a beautiful ecosystem together and that we belong here, that we are valued, no matter what we do.
