Attended one of Rikke's lectures - was really inspired and got many reflections that I (still) work on. Rikke was a fantastically present lecturer who really has knowledge and not least background knowledge in place and knows how to share these without it at any time becoming lecturing, knowing better or I know more than you. Fantastic balance between self-irony, enthusiasm, narrative desire and ability as well as involvement of those of us who listened - and listened. The basic studies behind this lecture are at a very high academic level, which Rikke was able to convey at eye level, with respect and her own experiences. Gratitude is a big word - but it's also easy, try it, it works.
