aThe number of individuals who did complete the course evaluation is given in parentheses.

bTable cells report the count of individuals who expressed a comment that is aligned with one or more of the themes (columns) we extracted from an informal analysis of the narrative responses to the feedback questionnaire we administered at the end of each TtT workshop (see Supplementary Materials).

cThe version of this evaluation for Pilot 4 did not capture open-ended comments.

dThe evaluation in this pilot workshop included the explicit question: ‘I was inspired to new ways of thinking’. In total, 6/6 people answered: ‘Agree completely’.
