Here is a snapshot of some of the most valuable tools I’ve developed over hundreds and hundreds of rituals and workshops:
This very important article is almost like a glossary of 5 different Teaching Modes that are each vital components of a transformational retreat or workshop.
In my nearly 20 years of experience as a facilitator, and in over 50 retreats that I’ve led and 100s upon 100s of classes I’ve taught, I’ve learned that having a healthy balance of these 5 modes creates a learning environment that nurtures true growth and transformation for participants. READ MORE
Folks who experience my retreats, workshops and talks often ask me how I am able to create and lead events where participants feel so present, so vulnerable, so connected to me and each other, and so deeply transformed.
