I have spent much of my life exploring the question, “How can we live together in peace?” I have seen that when families, workplaces, and communities learn how to work together, their efforts can be put into creating their dreams, instead of being embroiled in power struggles, resentments, and other relationship dysfunctions.
After completing a Master Degree in psychology, I received more specific training with:
- The Conflict Resolution Network, Sydney, Australia
- The Center for Nonviolent Communication
- The School for the Work of Byron Katie
- The Empowerment Institute
- Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health
I have been greatly influenced by the teachings of Eckhardt Tolle, Byron Katie, Ramana Maharshi, Gangaji, Thich Nhat Hanh, and more recently, Richard Moss.
Over the past thirty years I have utilized my skills working as the training coordinator for a community mediation center, as the program coordinator for a non-profit retreat and learning center, and running my own business. I worked with a wide range of clients including major corporations, government agencies, university staff, small businesses, and private individuals.
During this time I taught workshops in communication and conflict resolution skills, mediation, prejudice reduction, facilitation skills, stress reduction, yoga, and meditation, as well as providing mediation and facilitation services. I worked with large corporations, non-profit organizations, government agencies, small businesses, academic institutions, and private individuals.
With a deep conviction that world peace begins within, I have focused on learning and sharing the skills needed to live a more peaceful inner life, as well as the skills necessary to maintain supportive, caring interpersonal and inter-group relationships. It is my great pleasure to share this journey with you.
