Speaking & Workshops
Coming Home Through Shame, Belonging, and Collective Healing
I offer talks, keynotes, and experiential workshops that invite people into deeper relationship with themselves, one another, and the more-than-human world.
At the heart of my speaking is a simple invitation:
What does it mean to come home—and what gets in our way?
My speaking weaves together storytelling, embodied reflection, relational inquiry, and experiential practice.
Rather than focusing only on information, I create spaces where people can feel, sense, and explore the deeper patterns that shape how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the world we are part of.
My work is grounded in the understanding that healing is not only personal—it is relational, collective, and ecological.
I speak and teach on topics including:
Where Shame and Blame End, Liberation Begins: The Path To Collective Healing
Healing and Transforming Imposter Syndrome at its Roots
Loneliness, isolation, and the longing for connection
From Separation to Belonging: Healing the Roots of Loneliness & Oppression
Courageous Facilitation - Embodied anti-oppressive Group Facilitation
Empowering, Anti-Oppressive Practice With Youth: Effectively Supporting Our Young People
Coming home to our bodies
Healing the Mother Wound: Reclaiming Our Mothers, Reclaiming Ourselves
Healing with Our More-than-Human Natural World
Across all of my work, I explore what it means to come home: to our hearts, to our bodies , to our intuition , to one another and to our more-than-human world.
Coming home is not a destination. It is a practice of re-integration—of remembering what has been exiled, forgotten, or left behind in the process of surviving and adapting.
A central focus of my work is understanding and transforming shame—not only as an individual experience, but as a relational and collective force that shapes disconnection, self-abandonment, and systems of oppression. When met with awareness and compassion, shame can become a threshold: not something to bypass, but something that can open the way back into connection, dignity, and belonging.
My talks and workshops are experiential and interactive.
Participants often describe them as:
deeply engaging and embodied
emotionally resonant and accessible
reflective and practical
connective and relational
opening new ways of seeing themselves and others
My work integrates: Internal Family Systems (IFS), Hakomi, somatic and experiential practices, anti-oppressive frameworks, and nature-based wisdom. These approaches support people in developing greater awareness, compassion, and capacity for presence—with themselves, with others, and within systems of relationship.
I offer:
Keynotes & public talks
Experiential workshops
Professional trainings & continuing education (CEs)
Organizational and group facilitation
For over 30 years, I have worked with individuals, practitioners, organizations, and communities across a wide range of identities, ages, and life experiences.
If your community is exploring questions of belonging, shame, healing, or relational transformation, I would be honored to be part of that conversation.
