Leave the Grind
Want more out of life but don't know where to start? Whether you're contemplating leaving a job, have already left, or are just curious, we'll journey together as a group to discover and support each other to find a meaningful existence outside the box.
A deeper life awaits you, ripe with possibility, aliveness, and adventure. Come join us for an evening of possibilities, as we explore alternative options through storytelling, prompts and practices, writing, music, group work, and Q&A. We'll go through the practical, soulful, emotional, and logistical steps of life off the beaten path, while honing in on your dreams and visions to become your authentic, connected, creative and FREE self.
Topics explored may include, but not be limited to: pushing edges, spending and saving, family and friend relationships, finding guides and supportive practices, health insurance, determining your right amount of structure, therapy, play, relationship with money, emotional literacy and healing, loneliness, planning, and what finding your way can look like.

Clarity Coaching and Emotional Healing
Spaceholding for individuals and two people in relationship (partners, in the broadest possible sense) to discover Clarity, Authenticity, Connection, Possibility.
Clarity Coaching is driven by your authentic necessity to take the step in front of you, even if you don’t know what it is yet. In this space, you may feel sadness, anger, fear, and joy (and mixtures of these), as taking your next step necessarily involves feeling and healing.
I hold space for individuals and two people in relationship. For individuals, the process is emotional healing and becoming more intimate with all of the parts of you, completing incomplete emotions, becoming clear on what you are feeling and what others are feeling. For two people, the process is about clear communication, clarifying what work is for each person in the relationship, what work can be done together, what are your feelings and what are the Other’s feelings. Doing these things brings Clarity, Authenticity, Connection, Possibility and brings you closer to putting into action what you came to Earth for.View more details...TESTIMONIALS
