A Virtual Workshop

Play is a topic that many adults have difficulty relating to. Our modern day, fast paced culture is so focused on productivity, pace and “purpose” that we may forget, or don’t know how to play. Susie, my therapy client who is an accomplished engineer, vulnerably asked, “Dianne, can you please teach me to play? I truly have no idea what that might look like.” Susie is not alone.

As we discuss Play, we will be integrating the concept of Contemplative Photography. You will be invited to take a photo each day as a reflective, mindful practice.

We will be answering the question, “What is play?” throughout our time together and how play is so unique for each of us. Hope you can come out and play with us!

A Virtual Workshop

What do you mean by a grief workshop? Maybe you are struggling with emerging out of the pandemic shut down and feel like you don’t even know how to have a conversation or be social... Maybe you have lost a loved one through death or divorce... Maybe you have lost a friend, just moved and feel isolated... Maybe you are feeling grief over unresolved expectations or feeling lonely... There is no aspect of grief that is too small to work through in this workshop.

As we discuss Grief, we will be integrating the concept of Contemplative Photography. You will be invited to take a photo each day as a reflective, mindful practice.

The workshop, based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, will include short videos from Brené. In the workshop, participants are asked to choose an Arena to focus on. We will narrow this focus of the arena to an area of grief in our life. We will be using creative exercises, meditations, journaling and break out discussions designed specifically to engage in concepts toward healthier, inspired, wholehearted and HOPE-filled living. The workshop will be a time of sharing with one another, learning from one another and growing together.
