Workshops & Retreats
Please see our “Offerings” tab on this site. I strive to create warm, inclusive, and fun environments where you as a participant are supported in embracing a deeper awareness and understanding of yourself, others, and the world around you through mindfulness and expressive arts activities and tools.
Consulting & Residencies
For over a decade I have designed and delivered 8-15 week curriculum on mindfulness, students success, and reflective writing. I collaborate with institutions, organizations, and small groups to develop courses, retreats, and workshops that support your needs.
Artists and educators, allow me to host you or collaborate in curating a short-term residency or retreat here at the Barred Owl.
Courses & Coaching
Feeling disconnected, stressed, unfulfilled in life? Mindfulness and meditation can bring awareness, healing, and transformation. I work with you in 1-1 coaching or in a small groups.
Or, try a workshop or course with me for social learning, accountability, and community.
