From the High Hill was made possible through the generosity of the Unitarian Universalist Funding Program, the Unitarian Sunday School Society, and the Unitarian Congregation of Taos. I am especially grateful to the first group of High Hill participants for their commitment and enthusiasm, and especially to Shaddon Ross, who, as co-facilitator and colleague in the development of the curriculum, contributed her time, expertise, and spirited presence. And finally, I am grateful to those who read the book and generously shared their thoughtful comments and kind words.
