Time to reflect on the past year and contemplate what you’re ready to release
Inspiration to uncover and connect deeply to what’s most meaningful to you
Space to get clear on what would make 2024 the most magical, inspirational and fulfilling for you.
A supportive community to join you in this exploration

Goal Setting Workshop
Join me for this goal setting workshop in Banff!
We may think that being mindful means being present in the moment - so what does that have to do with goal setting for the future?
Mindfulness is also about being intentional and purposeful about how we're living our lives - the opposite of living on autopilot. In this way, mindfulness is all about being present NOW and making choices in this moment that support where you want to go in the future!
This session will include:
an exploration of your values so you can set meaningful goals to YOU (instead of goals based on what your family, friends, or culture tells you to do!);
a visualization component to help you imagine and dream of the life you want
a breakdown of how to write a goal and explanation of the two most common categories of goals
an exploration of how to respond when we encounter challenges and even failure in our goal setting

MASTERCLASS: Reducing Burnout
We live in an age of burnout. We are overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time, and it costs us our motivation and the ability to enjoy our life.

Recording available for those who can’t make the live class.
MASTERCLASS: Calm in the storm

As the new year unfolds, many of us are considering what we want this next year to look like. Join me for a unique session that will help you visualize your future with intention, discover what a life led by your values looks like and take some concrete steps to get there.
MASTERCLASS: Gratitude
Gratitude is not something we “should do” because we ARE happy… rather, gratitude is an essential ingredient for true happiness to occur!
Being mentally present in our lives is essential in order to practice gratitude because as Joseph Goldstein says, “Mindfulness is the root of happiness.”
In other words, we have to be present for our lives in order to appreciate them.
In this masterclass we’ll look at how we can intentionally cultivate a sense of gratitude in our lives as a source of happiness.
