“My essential focus in all my work is Loving presence.”

• COUNSELING AND HAKOMI

Hakomi is a gentle, non-judgemental way of working with people, which integrates body, mind, emotion and spirit. In a safe environment I support individuals, couples and parents to discover who they are, to heal at the core, to live authentically and learn skills for relationships.

THE POWER OF LOVING PRESENCE
Responding from Loving presence to all of life means nothing less but to open our hearts, to uncover the love within us and to be present so we can embrace what is here. When we are connected in our body and let love move us, our world is affected in a powerful way. In a supportive environment you are invited to discover the jewel that is you, to meet your blocks toward receiving and giving of love, and to allow transformation to emerge organically. This profound seminar provides you with skills and direct experiences, which can enable you to live more fully and freely from love in this world.

THE ART OF MEDITATION
offers integrated east/west spiritual practices for beginning and advanced students. Meditation instruction includes dharma teachings, nuts and bolts of meditation, support to cultivate wisdom, compassion, mindfulness, how to meet challenges, open the heart and walk centered in daily life. Meditation retreats invite you to experience your true nature, the sacred in life and deepen into the silence of being.

LOVING RELATIONSHIPS
provide an extraordinary opportunity to awaken and to live real love together. In a safe setting we engage in a soulful and practical way with: vulnerability and power, healthy boundaries and integrity, sexuality and connection, embracing the darkest and most luminous in each other, how to turn battlefields into gardens and to nourish your relationships. We enhance intimacy and understanding through non-violent communication, conflict resolution and the language of affection. Loving relationships are possible when we are present, accept each other and dare, without defenses, to truly meet in love. It is a path of the heart.

CONSCIOUS PARENTING
supports you to raise your child from wisdom, mindfulness and loving-kindness. This includes understanding developmental changes, learning age appropriate language, using positive discipline effectively, applying creative skills for difficult times and connecting deeply with your child in the midst of daily chaos. You are encouraged to cultivate a wholesome home life, which helps your child’s unique nature to thrive.

WOMEN’S SPIRITUALITY
is an important call of our times. Awakening into the divine feminine means to discover our unique way as women, to find and speak our voice, to celebrate our body and sensuality, to release cultural conditioning, to uncover what is true in us and to claim our power. We are guided to trust, to honor and love ourselves. Meditation, dance, song, art, writing, sharing, sacred ceremony will assist us to unfold deeper into ourselves, into connection with each other and to embody the beauty of our womanhood.

COMMUNION WITH NATURE
allows us to live in harmony with all of creation. We can connect and communicate with plants, animals, the land and the devas, when we are open and listen. This workshop will teach you how and give you practical tools to create garden sanctuaries. You are supported to make a difference by living ecologically responsible and in communion with this earth.
