Current & Upcoming Workshops
“Our goal is to create a quality of empathic connection that allows everyone’s needs to be met.”
The Essentials of Meaningful Connection starting in August 2026
A 7-Session Practice in Truth, Choice & Interdependence
Seven evenings. Seven principles. A gentle, rigorous practice in living more honestly with ourselves and more fully with one another.
This is an invitation into a slower way of being together — to practice the kind of honesty that holds care, the kind of choice that honors freedom, and the kind of connection that doesn’t require us to disappear.
Each evening, we sit with one principle. We don’t rush. We don’t perform. We practice.

The Curriculum
The Seven Principles
Each principle holds a tension — two truths that often feel like opposites, until practice reveals how they belong together.
I.Asking fully for what we want while letting go of having to have it.
II.Ever growing our inner freedom while stepping fully into interdependence.
III.Reclaiming power while fully embracing our vulnerability.
IV.Walking towards radical truth-telling without compromising care.
V.Not taking responsibility for other people’s experience while taking full responsibility for the impact of our choices.
VI.Understanding other people’s experience without having to agree.
VII.Persisting in inviting what we want while holding choice sacred.
★ One principle per evening — sat with, spoken about, and practiced together over seven weeks.
