All of my work involves listening – to self, others, and the collective. This can be a challenge in these current times that feel chaotic, unpredictable, and there is such polarization and reactivity in the air. Even the more reason to sit in circle, quiet the chatter, and be present. Courage work brings me a settling into myself and in community with others during these times of great joy and devastating changes. A time for us to listen more deeply to our own inner teacher and to glean our collective wisdom.
Here is an overview of my work:
Circle of Trust® retreats: Cross professional retreats, Congregational and Clergy Retreats, Nonprofit organizations retreats, and Seasonal Retreat Reflection series.
Leading Together: building capacity in Courage & Renewal principles and practices in various settings, including congregations, nonprofits, human services organizations and community groups
Healing the Heart of Democracy with a Side of Empathy – retreats and series for congregations, community groups, nonprofits and college campus groups. Nonviolent Communication is integrated into the series. Engaging and Healing Differences is an extension of Healing the Heart of Democracy work for youth, college students, congregations.
Soul of Aging series
Diversity and Social Justice: The Highest Calling of Your Heart Retreat, based on the vision of John Lewis. This CR circle invites rest, reflection, and cross-racial presence and dialogue. Holding questions in racial and social justice work is challenging.
Walking with Grief and Loss: Circle of Trust® retreats, series, and reflection circles that help support moving through grief and loss in both personal and collective grief.
Women’s retreats: for growth and building community
Coaching for leadership development, grief and loss, circle work, etc.

A shift in consciousness to “heal all of life, not just those who are ill. [This] affirmed Kabbalah’s deeply optimistic view that however broken and fragmented things may seem, all of life is in fact evolving toward a state of wholeness and that we humans have an active role and responsibility in furthering this evolutionary healing process. We do this with acts of tikkun olam - healing & fixing the planet and tikkun ha’nefesh healing and perfecting our own individual soul.”
