Statement of Beliefs:

We in our world are opening doors and becoming a more global community. Although news headlines today cry of recession, scarcity, war, etc., increasingly, multitudes of people are traveling to all corners of the world and innumerable grass roots organizations are engaging with other's cultures globally. The result is good news in the form of relationships, stories and wisdom shared from culture to culture. This is bringing to us a new kind of wealth which will enrich all of us in a myriad of ways and which will be reflected by new vitality in our environment.

My life's passion has been exploring connections, internally, in relationships and communities, and bringing various people and cultural groups together. I believe that we are all connected and that integration and healing on all levels, is a critical issue for all of us in this pivotal time of history. There are so many creative ways to do this. Rather than thinking that we can't do anything to change the world, I agree with current thinkers, who believe that grass roots efforts by thoughtful, ordinary people may be the most effective way to do so.

Heart Centered Therapy:

HCT is a spiritual and therapeutic process which assumes only love. It is client centered, seeking to open the blocks to personal integration using feelings, imagery and being grounded in the body. At each point of integration, the opportunity to re-story an old, painful story, shifts the energy and ability of the individual to be more effectively present in real time. Click on Heart Centered Therapy for more information and comments by clients.

Appreciative Inquiry:

In workshops or privately, learn about when you are at your best, what makes life exciting, interesting invigorating, motivating and productive?  In collecting stories of past successes you will become more open to your creativity, resourcefulness and wisdom and be able to create the most fulfilling future for yourself, whatever your age or stage.  Click on  Circles of Women and Appreciative Inquiry for more information.

Weddings:

I have performed over 50 wedding ceremonies in a variety of settings: in churches, on mountains, in gardens and homes. In collaboration with couples, we craft a ceremony that reflects who they are and are becoming together. Click on Weddings to see photos and couples' comments.

Circles of Women:

Join one of these small groups to experience being truly heard, and in so doing, hear your own story in a new way.  Experience trust and intimacy with a group of women who will trust you to hear your own wisdom, and honor your path.  Learn, through Appreciative Inquiry, to be attentive to your strengths and values so you can create more or what you love in your life, coming from who you truly are. Click on Circles of Women and Appreciative Inquiry to hear more and read participant comments.

Public Speaking:

As a Public Speaker, I have given hundreds of presentations on life issues and on insights from travel experiences in a variety of settings. In the past 2 years, since returning to Africa, I have also been speaking about my trips with Global Citizen Journey. I taught in Ghana for 2 years in the 60's, so my reflections span 40 years. Presentations are tailored for public meetings, organizations, churches and classrooms, and where appropriate, include PowerPoint photos. These talks are often part of workshops for integrative learning. Click on African Projects and Speaking for more information.
