1-Day Workshop

One Good Thing

In the Tao, Laozi said that a journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. And so does creating change in your life.

So let’s start by focusing on one good thing. What’s one good thing that happened for you today? This week? This month? Frequently our perspective goes to the bad things. In this workshop we’ll build strategies to shift out of that habit by starting with the energy of one good thing.

The Field of Possibility

Impermanence, Presence and the Art of Co-Creation
The organizing principle of the universe is relationship. We are constantly in relationship with people, nature, projects, objects, ideas, and ourselves.
It is within the living space of relationship—in the dialogue that unfolds between us and all that we encounter—that co-creation happens, identities evolve, and something genuinely new can emerge.

Over seven weeks, we will explore impermanence, presence, and the Japanese concept of Ma as the living field of relationship. Together, we will learn to work with the energy of the “between”: listening to what is emerging, participating in its unfolding, and allowing it to transform both the world around us and ourselves.
