WRITING SALON
Let’s bring a little light and wonder to this dark season. Intimate, casual gathering for people who write to practice sharing our work aloud. Limited reader spots available; email to request one.
Career Transitions Retreat
With so much job-related change and uncertainty, many need space to work through what work looks like going forward, and sit with all the emotions this can generate. With co-facilitator Marlee Carlos of JourneyUp Solutions, I offer a retreat which can flex as whole or half day, and (Christian) faith-based or secular. Reach out to discuss a retreat for you or your community.
