Winter/Spring 2023

Hello dear wonderful people. Happy new year to you. May this new year bring joy and peace to each of you. I am excited to share with you some new developments in my work. Having committed to my own practice of exploring social justice and practicing generosity, I am continuing to offer some of my workshops by donation. I began doing this last year and have learned a lot from the process. I am beginning to understand more deeply how important it is for me to reach out with a gesture of solidarity and welcome to those of us who have been marginalized and/or oppressed by the dominant culture because of our social identities. I hope that you will all benefit from these opportunities, and I know that I have been benefiting from them myself.

I am offering a series of 4 in-person workshops through the Star of the Sea on Salt Spring Island, by donation, on a drop-in basis. Each workshop will be organized around a theme that naturally arises in relationships. My intention is to facilitate a community of people who are interested in cultivating self-awareness, building kindness and friendship, and learning skills to support others to do the same.
