"It is a rare and precious discovery to find form with substance, entertainment with education, incisive conceptualization with pragmatic application--and two captivating people sharing an infectious chemistry without competition. Julie and David--individually dynamic but together nothing short of combustible--bring such a unique experience as a matter of course to a breadth of topics, from diversity and social justice to the passionate nuts and bolts of everyday work with kids, couples, and families."

"Julie Tilsen and David Nylund bring a unique and fresh perspective to the topic of gender. They straddle high and low culture, theory and practice, cultural studies and psychology. It is a true pleasure to be in the presence of such gifted and witty minds who know just how to create the perfect blend of content, form, critical thinking and humor into a most practical workshop."

"Julie and Dave are a kick to watch. They bring such energy to their workshops you find yourself both challenged and entertained. There is never a dull moment as you are immersed in so much important information--thinking and reflecting-- yet finding it all goes down so easy."

"When it comes to inviting international presenters to our Therapeutic Conversations conference I'm fortunate to have the 'pick of the litter'- and each year these cats find themselves at the top of the presenter invite list. Dave Nylund and Julie Tilsen's workshops can be described as rebelliously smart and intoxicating and prove that together they are far greater than the sum of their parts - in more ways than one. Do yourself a large long favor and invite them to queerly train you in your own hometown."
