Getting Connected
4-week virtual workshop series
Are you…
Tired of feeling disconnected or stuck in the same patterns?
Wanting to connect more deeply with yourself and in your relationships?
Frustrated by the way you continue to react rather than respond?
Looking for tools that help you voice what you want and speak your truth unarguably?
Join this mini workshop series designed to introduce you to simple yet powerful tools for feeling more connected to yourself and others.
We will learn and practice together!
“Connection is why we're here. We are hardwired to connect with others, it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering.”
―Brené Brown
Connecting authentically takes practice.
Interacting with others can be hard work. Emotions and reactions can happen before we know it, and negative coping patterns can quickly become the norm. But with practice, you can speak your truth in a way that others will hear.
You’ll learn powerful tools and skills, and get to integrate these into your life both during and between sessions.
Week 1: Speaking your unarguable truth.
Week 2: Shifting your emotional state.
Week 3: Understanding unconscious patterns of reactivity.
Week 4: Getting out of drama.
Each week you’ll get in-depth understanding of each concept and tool, time to experience and practices tools in the session, and handouts for deeper understanding and practice at home.
These tools come from Gay and Katie Hendricks and Dr. Julie Colwell, whose decades of work have refined these tools and empowered innumerable lives. We are honored and excited to share them with you.
Reconnect to yourself and others now!

These tools to have been extremely powerful in my own life, both professionally and personally. I have been able to embody this framework because it makes sense on so many levels - neurologically, emotionally, mentally, and, even, spiritually. I love supporting people in connecting to themselves and others in a deeply authentic and unarguable way by translating the wisdom of the body and emotions.

Through these practices, I have learned that I generate my own experience as I walk through life. When I first learned about it, I thought well if they’re not doing it to me, why do I keep feeling this way? Initially I was either blaming myself or others. When I was holding other people responsible, I was focused out there on other people, and not in my own body, my own experience, my own integrity and my own power. It’s only when I come back in, choose to feel my feelings, take responsibility for them, that I can shift, connect with myself and access my essence. I was convinced that something or someone outside me needed to change in order for me to feel better. I am now willing to see myself as the source, connect with myself first and then connect with others. These practices provide a very loving and accepting approach. Since 2020 I have studied and embodied these practices with US-based teachers, Katie Hendricks and Julie Colwell.
