December 15
I’ll be offering a FREE monthly workshop series on the third Sunday of the month called Embodying Stories. The next one is all about ANGER, and it will take place December 15 from 3-4:30 PM Pacific time on Zoom.
We’ll be exploring anger in a brave container that shares our experiences of this strong emotion. I will offer some tools to help you hold and express your anger, so that you can become more clear and heartfelt in the way you relate to your anger. We will focus on how anger shows up in our hearts and our hands, as well as how our stories of anger can be enlivening and create solidarity, show us when to move in other directions, or when to tear down or deconstruct what’s no longer serving us.
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 in healthy ways. Anger, like other emotions, is a part of what it means to be human. Only in allowing ourselves to hold our stories, feelings and connect them in our bodies can we become free to express all of ourselves.
December 11
As part of Dr. Amba Drygg-Tobin’s Women Saving the World 2024 festival event on World Peace from Self-Love and Inner Peace, I gave a talk sharing more about my own journey through the healing arts and learning to embody my own stories, so that I could become myself fully and be a healing guide and mirror for others on their healing paths. As a Korean adoptee, lesbian and survivor of sexual abuse, being able to embody my stories has been powerful and helped me to integrate, complete and release my traumas.
Called “Embodying Stories with Dialogical Persona,” I went live on Wednesday, December 11th in the 4-6 PM Pacific time window and am sharing the recording here. My personal journey has allowed me to offer expressive arts, integrative somatics and trauma healing to others. I focus on inner healing, personal empowerment and identity using persona and mythic aspects of the self for trauma resolution and compassionate change. You can view the recording of my talk here!

November 17
I’ll be offering a FREE monthly workshop series to begin on November 17th from 3 - 4:30 PM PDT called Embodying Stories.
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 grieve. Grief, like other emotions, is a part of what it means to be human. Only in allowing ourselves to hold our stories, feelings and connect them in our bodies can we become free to express all of ourselves with ferocity.
The first workshop in Embodying Stories will be focused on giving shapes to grief. If you are experiencing the loss of a loved one, precious animal companion, or grief over the current state of our world, this workshop is for you.
I will offer some tools to help you hold and express your grief, so that you can become more fierce in who you are and what you stand for in the world.

I was so excited to celebrate being one of Marin Living’s Visionaries on a sunset cruise around Tiburon and Angel Island. It was a beautiful way to celebrate the end of summer, being outdoors and how to live our best life with mythic self symbols like my snow leopard power emblem I wore on the ship.
Dialogical Persona is a sacred space I often consider a portal because I allow each client to enter an alternate world and become a mythic version of themselves. Often, it is the first time they are allowed to be any and all things they choose.
I consider it visionary because I give them a place to try on all of these aspects with me as a witness, guide and mirror for their highest visions, and both of us become visionaries through the embodiment of these dialogues. In focusing on inner healing and personal wellness using the mythic self, I help my clients to actually become their future visions in the present.
And thanks to Marin Living this past week, I also get to experience these things for myself as well!

What a fabulous night at the Pacific Sun “Best of Marin 2024” Ceremony at Marin Art & Garden Center. I got a chance to wear my new mini-sequined bowler hat gift out on the town, and it’s a small emblem of how I express myself and my work in dialogical persona. And check out the full party photos article here!
