Workshops/Playshops

Over the years, I have created workshops and playshops that help deepen our most important relationship – the one with ourself. Tapping into the extraordinary wisdom of our body, it is always inspiring to see what emerges when I offer the invitation inward. Our first breath, the expression of “I am here” welcomes us into the world. And until our last breath, we have the opportunity to experience standing in our truth and shining our light. Learning new ways to work with our thoughts, we support our growth and break patterns that no longer serve us. With mindfulness, we sense a stronger emotional center, a wonderfully grounded sensation that is undeniable.

 

Workshop/Playshop Offerings

“Finding Sanctuary, Transforming Grief”

Everyone’s grief has a place. So much of grief is about something lost and something changing. And so many of the twists and turns of life leave us feeling lost: divorce, switching jobs, moving, birth, death, transitioning into a new stage of life, aging. Change and loss also bring opportunities for growth. Healing is so much deeper than learning how to grieve. It is about having and managing a full range of feelings. As we find our way through the darkness, we find the light. “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”

emotion in motion retreat

“Emotion-In-Motion”

Every emotion is experienced as energy. Through the power of music and connection to sensation, we learn to tune in and slip into the felt sense of each emotion. Feeling stuck in and with certain emotions may prevent us from feeling fully alive. Through breath and sound, we physicalize that which has been shut down or cut off and we trust that emotions will flow. We stand in our truth, allowing authentic expression to come to life with the healing power of Emotion-In-Motion.
