Current special initiatives
- Honoring/Coaching Circles
We share the same intention for both Coaching and Honoring Circles: to co-create a safe and confidential circle where we practice deep listening to enhance our awareness of self, others and the universe in a resonant healing space. How we do it, differs.
Coaching circles will meet every 1st Tuesday of the month from January to April
Honoring circles will meet every 3rd Tuesday of the month from January to April.

2. Deep Nature Explorers
We each experience Nature in our own ways. While we easily know where our physical bodies are when in nature, what happens to our minds and spirits? How are our senses aroused? Do you think our interactions with nature have an impact on our day-to-day living and how we relate to ourselves, with others, and with the planet?
A group is being formed to delve into these questions using presencing and deep listening methods for sharing thoughts and emotions. By exploring in this way together, perhaps each of us will experience some level of personal transformation, and realize our potential for inspiring others simply by being who we are.

3. Integrative Health
Imagine you have all or nearly all of the information and support to live the best life you can. This attention is responding in real-time to what you need to know to make the complex simple, and actionable.
Most of us have some aspect of our well-being managed by taking a yoga class, working with a nutritionist, having a communication coach, etc. but not a person or system that supports all of our well-being concerns.
An integrative, holistic approach to health and well-being for your 24/7 lifestyle.
