Past Events in 2025
January 19
I’m offering a FREE monthly workshop series on the third Sunday of the month called Embodying Stories. This month is about HOPE, and it will take place January 19 from 3-4:30 PM Pacific time on Zoom.
As we begin a new year, the holiday celebrations wind down, and the gray winter sets in, hope can be something that is harder to find. In this workshop, we’ll be exploring mindset shifts with intention. I’ll guide you in creating your own inner compass to carry you forward. We’ll also be re-looking at our values and beliefs to begin embodying more wholeness, fullness and hopefulness for the coming year.
Stories are interwoven into our experience of life: they are how we come to know ourselves and to know others, and they are also how others come to know us in turn. Joan Didion said: “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”
We also tell ourselves stories in order to express what needs to be shared. Rather than suppressing, bypassing or turning away from what is real and present, our emotions, thoughts and values are a part of what it means to be human. Only in allowing ourselves to hold all of these and connect them in our bodies can we become free to express all of ourselves with new stories that move us into a future we want to belong to.
April 12-19
I’m participating in Dr. Amba Tobin’s FREE week-long event focusing on WORLD PEACE beginning from INNER PEACE on Zoom, in the private women-only FaceBook community for Women Saving the World, and in person at Golden Gate Park on the final day.
This event features 10 min talks on how to ground to find inner peace from wise women around the world.
My Zoom talk will be on Friday, April 18th between 12-1 PM, and I will be participating at the live event in San Francisco on Saturday, April 19th in Golden Gate Park at 11:30 AM.
April 20
I’m offering a FREE monthly workshop series on the third Sunday of the month called Embodying Stories. This month is about PEACE, and it will take place April 20 from 3-4:30 PM Pacific time on Zoom.
If you don’t observe Easter Sunday, or want a creative way to celebrate it, join me for my Easter Sunday exploration of inner and outer PEACE. In this workshop, I’ll guide you inwards to allow your inner sanctuary to reveal its shapes, size and colors to you. We’ll bring this inner sanctuary into expression through visualization, drawing and writing and give time to just be with what arises silently and in circle together. This will be time to slow down and connect with your inner self.

July 8
I’ll be giving a talk called “Transformational Stories: How to Speak with Innovation and Impact” on July 8 for the Networking Entrepreneurial Women of Marin dinner from 6-8:30 PM at the Left Bank in downtown Larkspur.
What is your transformational story? I will share some tips for speaking with vulnerability, compassion and impact using current trauma-informed strategies for deeper connection with your audience and greater authenticity in your messaging. I will help you understand how to include your transformational story in your speaking and messaging to create more compelling, thought-provoking and trustworthy content for your audiences and ideal clients.
September 3
The regular Marin County monthly in-person networking events are back on at the Serenity Lower Clubhouse in Larkspur this week on Wednesday from 11:30 AM - 1 PM.
Join a wonderful and fun group of business professionals who are part of the Alignable Alliance of the North Bay this Wednesday for some open networking, a more focused getting to know each other prompt, and our featured spotlight on myself, as it was a quick turnaround and some folks have been requesting I lead our group in a somatic exercise. Come learn more about me and my work at our FREE Alignable in-person event.
I’m a published author, Certified Transformational Coach, Expressive Arts Practitioner and Registered Somatic Movement Educator who works along the edges of the mythic self and creative expression.
November 22
“Bringing Metaphor to Life in Community: How Clean Language & the Life/Art Process Create Active Witnessing,” Block 3, Session 3, Room 1.
Embodying the metaphor landscape through expressive arts and arts-based practices helps individuals to integrate, release and complete the stories held in their bodies.
Clean Language brings metaphors to life in ways that go deeper than other forms of trauma therapy by truly allowing the system to find its own way of integrating, completing, releasing or bringing about what needs to happen.
When paired with Anna and Daria Halprin’s Life/Art Process, artistic representations of individual self-metaphors take on a communal role that goes beyond active listening to active witnessing and form new dialogues.
This interactive and emergent space will showcase the power of embodying metaphors with active witnessing in order to form new ways of communicating with each other.
