Workshops & Speaking

I run workshops throughout the year to help you reflect on your life and the people and places that have shaped you.

These workshops empower you to truly be the author of your life and the legacy you want to leave behind.

Living Legacy Women’s Retreat

May 10-12, 2024 - Brew Creek Lodge (near Whistler, BC)

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore, define and craft your living legacy within a community of women who are contemplating their mortality!

Write Your Living Legacy 

Are there traditions or nuggets of wisdom gleaned from your life or family history that will disappear into the ether unless you write and share them before you’re gone?

Would you like to integrate hard-earned life lessons in a safe and creative space?

Your story matters! Write Your Living Legacy is a series of memoir-writing workshops to give you the time, tools and confidence to share your story.

Orient Your Life, Rest In Peace

Feeling overwhelmed by how to create (let alone live into) your ideal legacy when it can be so hard to get your head out of the day-to-day grind?

I created this workshop to help you clarify what truly matters in your life and avoid regrets at the end of it.

In just two hours, I'll walk you through envisioning the end of your life (How do you want to feel? How do you want to be remembered?) to help zero-in on actions to take now that will really move the needle.

Interested in bringing a workshop to your community?

Reach out to discuss partnership opportunities or ideas for custom workshops. A few of the topics I am passionate about:

  • Harnessing mortality as a tool for living fully

  • Legacy leadership

  • Thoughtfully-crafted, values- & story-based ceremonies + rituals

  • Holistic deathcare

  • The power of memoir-writing

  • Deepening connections through life-cycle milestones (from cradle to grave and everything in between!)

  • Designing rituals for personal transitions

  • Preplanning your own memorial

  • You do spiritual work in a way that anyone and everyone can connect with.
