Workshops & Groups
Together with my colleagues I produce and lead workshops and groups to help people adapt, build safety, deepen our resilience skills, and build community together. Below are two events:
Heart of Resilience
A monthly gathering where we cultivate inner strength and presence.
As our outside world becomes increasingly unpredictable, we are inspired to cultivate deeper inner strength to ride this winding, sometimes rough river with grace & ease. As things move faster & faster out there, within us we have the capacity to ground & orient, listen to the wisdom of our bodies, reset our nervous system, reach out to each other, & feel the beauty of the natural world. We can nurture that innate resilience inside ourselves & in each other.
In these monthly gatherings, held on the second Monday night each month, 7-9 PM at the community room of St. Stephen’s church, 500 Robinson Road in Sebastopol, we practice tools designed to foster our ability to respond rather than react, learning to stay present in the face of difficulty. We offer a safe place to express feelings, settle & share in community. Using guided somatic exercises, spoken word, & live music, we deepen our sense of confidence, choice & presence, preparing us to engage with whatever the future brings. To view the flyer go here.

Crash Course Video Viewings
My colleague, Suzie Gruber, and I host regular 3 night series of community video viewings of the three-hour version of Chris Martenson’s Crash Course. In this incredible video Chris details how the interaction of challenges with energy, environment and economy will likely lead to significant changes in how we live. For more information, call (707) 888-9646 or email suzie at suziegruber.com.
I also work extensively through Transition Sebastopol and the Sebastopol Grange to promote community resilience.
