As a group leader, I bring an overflowing toolbox of resources for participants to try out in whatever ways feel most useful to them. Flexibility, humor, & courage are essential to the success of a group, workshop or retreat. The group itself creates a ripe environment for growth, change and healing.
Karen’s facilitation and workshop presence sparkles with energy, empathy, and a philosophy deeply rooted in understanding and appreciating difference. She is able to bring very diverse groups of people together in creative and moving ways, springing out of her own spiritual work and questing. Don’t miss an opportunity to work with her, to bring greater vitality and energy to your own journey.
