Sometimes it takes a repeated journey into your desire, to get from the place of discovering what you truly want, to having a vision and finally having the tools to achieve it.
Through an experiential personal journey to SELF - you'll take the 'blur' off what's getting in the way of achieving your truest aspirations. Whether you are entering retirement, building your business, seeking deeper more meaningful relationships or purely enriching your sense of identity - this journey begins with taking a vital step back and asking what am I missing? What do I long for? Who do I most want to be?
From this visceral clarity, you'll shift your beliefs, uncover your deepest
foundation and recreate how you are spending your energy to act on behalf
of what truly inspires you.
When you leave you will set into motion specific, tangible ways to achieve
your most fully embodied life.
Live It, BE it, Do it and then live it again!
For intelligent, capable people who are ready to live the life they love or take it a step further!
Embodied Living Meditation
60 minutes
Embodiment is a moment of new personification, representation or understanding of a familiar idea or way of being. Emodiment is the way in which we connect our physical and emotional selves for greater understanding and sense of peace and comfort with daily living. So much of life is spent in motion moving from one activity to the next, yet even if it's something supportive like dance, yoga, or sports very often this moment is missed.
In this session you will have the opportunity to explore the concept and tools of embodiment through discussion, exercise and guided meditation. Specific attention will be given to the practice of emotional and physical integration and you will be given the opportunity to recapture those missed moments of life for a fuller more engaged experience of yourself through Embodied Living. Designed for anyone who is ready to begin or deepen a process of physical and emotional intertwinment for healthier and more vibrant living and continue the practice in their daily lives.

Windows to the Soul:
Eye Gazing
1-3 hours
In casual interactions eye contact is a balancing act: too much and someone might think you are staring, too little and others might think you're avoiding them or lying. Yet this connection and sharing can also be very rewarding because only through eye contact can we experience the full truth of any other person.
This workshop begins with a discussion on intimacy and its relationship to eye gazing. With further discussion we'll explore the concepts of why eye contact can be so intense, emotional, and intimate and seek to overcome the fear.
The activities will start with the process of self-exploration and connection to build comfort and understanding and then move into eye gazing with others with the intention of finding deeper and more powerful connection. The workshop will conclude with an open discussion about our experiences and ways to take the learning back into our everyday lives.
Finding Intimacy
3 hours
This workshop begins with discussion on the concepts, spectrum, and components of intimacy and its place as an essential part of the human experience. Discussion will focus not only on the ideas and forms of intimacy but around our fears, blocks, and emotional connection. Following the discussion participants will participate in several exercises designed to identify and overcome their fears of intimacy. Often in the process of examining and getting in touch with our own fears we create a sense of vulnerability – which is an important component of reaching deeper intimacy with ourselves and others.
While many people fear this sense of vulnerability embracing the shift simultaneously can enable us to hold a stronger position and understanding of self, so as participants enter this place of space they will practice new ways of holding onto themselves and creating a sense of safety.
The workshop concludes with an open discussion around ways to initiate intimate connections and the various levels at which intimacy can be experienced.
