What is a Life Circle? - Life Circles are insightful, experiential and motivational opportunities to come together with friends, family or colleagues, and view your life with a fresh perspective. I thoroughly enjoy facilitating Life Circles! There are many topics to choose from and always new ones being added. Carve out some time and host a Life Circles workshop for a circle in your life. The only life you can change is yours.
The Rewards of Letting Go
Letting go is a form of releasing attachment to situations, things, memories, people and even parts of ourselves. As we let go we create opportunity to write a new script for ourselves that aligns more powerfully with our vision. Identify what your excuses are for holding on and create space to welcome and explore your life, career, environments, relationships and unique self.
Deep Listening
Life is different when you slow down and listen more deeply to your inner self. Your life is less stressed, your relationships more fulfilling, your play time more frequent, your career is less demanding and more productive. Let us capture the moments of our lives, casting our net to gather in our ability to listen deeply, to live with ease.
Shifting From Yes to No
Overcommitted? Overwhelmed? Out of control? Take time to focus and examine the busyness of your life. Stop, and think about when and where you need to say “No." There is a high price we all pay when we say “Yes” to more than we have time and energy for. Be responsible to you! Gain clarity on what drains you and what sustains you.
Life Dreams
What is the dream you have for your life, your career, and your relationships? Overtime you may have let go of your dream or sabotaged its' success. Be Bold! Create a dream vision and take steps to live your wildest dream?!
It's Always Springtime
Just like your closets, your life sometimes needs a good cleaning.?? What negative ideas or behaviors need to get thrown out? What doesn’t “fit” you anymore? Where do you long for refreshing energy, insights and action? When you make space in your life, you attract energy to you what you truly desire.
Daily Practice
We all benefit from a strong foundation in our day to day life that supports our well-being and that of our family. There is plenty of time to create new practices in our life, that support our core essence, our core values. Create a daily practice that encourages mindful living and loving.
The Silver Lining
It may appear that there are so many obstacles, challenges, roadblocks that keep you from living your best life. Shift your perspective! Take heart, and make a choice to live joyfully, embracing life’s challenges as opportunities to grow and experience grace.
Visionary Moms
Make parenting a wholistic experience by intentionally nurturing the whole of who you are and the gifts you bring to the parenting experience. Compare the vision you have for mothering with cultural perceptions and expectations. Bring balance, mindfulness and awareness to this incredible experience.
Creating an Authentic, Spacious, Fearless Exploration into Dating
We will explore through safe dialogue and fun interactive experience, roadblocks to dating. Open yourself to a more enlightened relationship to self and partnering. Trust your intuition, honor your integrity while looking for a love mate.
Trusting Life Process
Cultivating an attitude of trust stimulates and directs our lives with hope and opportunity. Excessive fear, wears you out and depletes your motivation. If you believed that all relationships, both personal and professional would benefit from trust, how would yours change? Open new doors and welcome new experiences by trusting life process.
Workplace Wellness
Come together with a group of workplace colleagues to discover opportunities for balance and clarity in the often chaotic and stress filled workplace environment. Wake up to possibilities that exist for you by shifting your perspective from fast paced multitasking to alert, open and directed engagement.
Are You An Investor?
As our lives become busier and more demanding, personal wellness becomes a higher priority. Examine the circle of your life, gaining important insights into life balance and stress reduction. Where do you need to “invest” your time and energy to live a more authentic, enjoyable, productive life?
The Adrenaline Rush
