It’s been said that grief is love with no place to go. All of us have experienced loss of some kind, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a significant relationship, fertility struggles, the closing of a business, health challenges, or a dream deferred.
In this workshop, we’ll explore: how we can honor and acknowledge our loss without it preventing us from moving forward in generative ways. How can we bear the grief of the present and the past, without sacrificing our future? How does who and what we love influence what we do with our days, and ultimately our lives?
We want the thing so badly, but we also kinda don’t want the thing. We may not understand why attaining a desired goal seems so elusive. Or why once we attain a hard-won goal, we so quickly dismiss our success and move on to the next project. It may be that we don’t believe we can actually have success and keep it, or perhaps we fear that there is a huge price to pay for having what we want.
The seesaw manifests in various ways; overworking, overachieving, hypervigilance, procrastination, perfectionism, poor time-management, and eventually burnout.
In this workshop, we’ll explore the ways in which we reach for something new and desirable, yet simultaneously take actions that prevent us from having it. Why do we make choices that prevent us from traveling where we want to go? When did we learn that there is a cost to everything good?
How can we get out of our own way, and begin to take actions that allow for goodness to come to us and stay with us?
Creativity is the wellspring of all our ideas, our future offerings, and our forward movement. It is akin to life-force energy; our creativity infuses life into all we do. When creative blocks arise, it can feel almost impossible to break through. When we’re “stuck”, it’s essential to find new ways to connect to our creativity. By accessing our creativity, the path forward becomes more clear.
In this workshop, we’ll explore questions like: How do we overcome creative blocks? What is the connection between rest and creativity? What resources can we tap into in order to support and nourish our own creativity? What’s possible when we allow space for our creativity to flourish?
We developed this skill at such a young age, we may have even been born with it. For some, this sensitivity was discouraged as children, and then re-emerged as adults.
Family Constellations has taught me a good deal about my own intuition, and how it fits into the larger sphere of the human family. This process taps into the universal consciousness in ways that are rather practical, instead of esoteric or abstract. Through this philosophy, we learn that there is no need for energetic shielding, and we have the opportunity to deepen our understanding of how intuition functions in the collective.
In this workshop we’ll explore the questions: Where is the line between being highly intuitive and being hypervigilant? Is our sensitivity a trauma response? How does this “gift” protect us? How does it make us feel more vulnerable? How does it make us feel more valuable?
According to Family Constellations philosophy, our mothers give us life, and our fathers show us the way. Ideally, fathers support us as we go out into the world, showing us how to navigate challenges as they arise, and showing us that it is safe to leave the nest of home.
In this workshop, we’ll explore: How have our relationships with our fathers shaped our sense of capability in meeting the outside world? For those of us who have lost fathers, or whose fathers have been in some way absent, how has this impacted our careers and our livelihoods? How can we take strength from our fathers so that we can move forward with a greater sense of ease and capability?

It’s been said that grief is love with no place to go. All of us have experienced loss of some kind, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a significant relationship, fertility struggles, the closing of a business, health challenges, or a dream deferred.
We may be grieving the loss of something or someone we loved, or perhaps mourning something that could have been but never will be.
In this workshop, we’ll explore: how can we honor and acknowledge our loss without it preventing us from moving forward in generative ways? How can we bear the grief of the present and the past, without sacrificing our future? How does who and what we love influence what we do with our days, and ultimately our lives? How can we give our love someplace generative to grow?

We will do some Family Constellations in this workshop, and we will also create artwork.
I’ll walk you through the process of creating collage “self portraits.” These portraits will serve as talismans; symbols of your creativity and all the resources that support it.
