Enter into the sacred silent realm of nature where we can hear ourselves think and listen within for what most wants to be heard. We will create a field of dreams surrounded by a herd of gentle horses where you can gather the wisdom of your inner nature and dream your world into being.
Integrating a Gestalt and a Transformational Presence approach, ICF coaching guidelines and ancient Indigenous practices, nature’s teachings and our inner knowing we will gather collective wisdom and listen for our life to speak.
This highly experiential workshop is for all who want to enhance their professional skills and to expand their approach in guiding clients through challenges and into opportunities.
