Reconnecting With Your Spark...A Deeper Dive!

Relationships, areas of service, goals...Let’s re-focus!

Join me and wonderful wellness professionals and artists on March 21st, 2020 for a deeper dive into this process! The goal is to explore how connected or disconnected we feel to our sense of aliveness and purpose, and how it impacts our work and relationships. Exhaustion or burnout drain energy and blunt creativity! A little food, a little art, a little music...It gets us talking and moving! Be prepared for activities to engage our creativity in this important journey. The experience planned for our gathering is based on my book From Burnout to Bliss, which you'll get a copy of at the event.See you there!
