Retreat Specialties

My retreats have a way of supporting people to clear away the crap that too easily gets in the way of enjoying and getting the most from a retreat. Getting out of our heads, into our bodies and breath and connecting with what is our highest and best at any moment in time. People come with layers... holding a space for these layers to soften and for personas true self to feel safe enough to come out and play is heart opening to witness and makes memories that last a lifetime.

Teaching Specialties

I believe each of us requires something different. I appreciate holding the space for these differences. For some, it is safety and gentleness. For others, it is solidity and firmness. And, for a few, heat and ferocity are what are needed to forge their precious metals. As a teacher, I am encouraging, playful, unpredictable, honest, perfectly imperfect and passionate.
