Making magic is a metaphor I use for the transformation that occurs when people in a group become more interconnected and authentic with each other. We created a group of peers, the magical group, which began as researchers and participants, and coalesced into co-researchers. On the peak of our magic together, I juggled multiple roles. In Stage Three, I immersed myself in following the energy of the stories and themes. I called my thesis a magical quilt of stories. These impacts allowed me to have faith that magic will happen. I create spaces where human spirits can interact.
