Gatherings & Experiences to cultivate connection, creativity, and vitality
Process & Therapy Groups to foster brave, support spaces for communal grow
Workshops & Trainings to raise awareness and deepen learning
Rituals & Retreats to protect sacred space to integrate mind, body, and spirit

Embodied Wisdom | Building the Capacity for Difference: The Journey from Constriction to Individuation

HYBRID

Embodied Wisdom is our seasonal rhythm of communal, holistic learning. The belief that our need for human connection is enduring shapes these gatherings. Our intent is to create intention space for inspiration, connection, deepening, and activation in service of collective healing. 

Our spring gathering, facilitated by Audrey Jensen, will focus on Building the Capacity for Difference: The Journey from Constriction to Individuation.

We are living in an Age of Dissonance. How do we work with this? And is there an opportunity for an Age of Individuation where we confront and engage difference — not just as a thought experiment, but in our families, communities, and therapy/healing spaces.

Improv for All Seasons | Tuesdays in February

In person

This event is for anyone looking to build more confidence, form new connections, and cultivate collaboration in the context of playful, spontaneous interactions. It’s great for practicing flexibility and sitting with ambiguity in a safe setting. 

Gain more confidence to create and present on the spot in a low-stakes, supportive group setting. Tell stories with creativity. Build on other group members’ ideas and offer your own ideas to the group, as well – and come up with scenes, songs, or jokes together. Take these skills back to your home or work by engaging in family discussions, friendships, and work relationships with more spontaneous strategies, or simply share a few moments with others around you via a giggle or two… or twenty!
