Own Your Strengths + Values
Tuesday March 25, 2025
Creative Practice: Collage Art
Strengths are your innate talents and capabilities and Values are your basic and fundamental beliefs. Together they create an internal GPS that motivates and guides you to what is most important and complementary to your true nature. Through creative collage practice and guided movement, you’ll create a beautiful piece of artwork that reflects your journey and serves as a guide for what lies ahead.

Boost Your Emotional Wellbeing
Tuesday May 20, 2025
Creative Practice: Finding emotions in the body
We will use the wisdom of our bodies to improve our emotional intelligence. Paying attention to emotions in your body helps to broaden the aperture of our attention so that we can understand what our emotions are trying to tell us. By actively improving your emotional intelligence, you invest in a skill that enhances virtually every area of life, from managing stress to achieving career goals, and nurturing meaningful relationships.

Explore Your Personality
Tuesday September 16, 2025
Creative Practice: Move with the Enneagram
Personality is defined as the persistent traits and actions that distinguish each of us as individuals. Utilizing the Enneagram's age-old wisdom, we will identify our fundamental personality type and view the system as a dynamic framework for developing self-awareness. Through a guided movement practice, we will “try on” each of the 9 Enneagram types to understand their energy patterns. This is a great way to understand how you develop and what keeps you stuck, and how you relate to others in your life.

Reclaim Your Interests
Tuesday October 7, 2025
Creative Practice: Learn the tool of Mind Mapping to visually explore ideas, interests, and connections
Interests are essential for igniting your curiosity, maintaining your attention, and encouraging you to keep going even when challenges arise. You will learn about the six essential interest categories and capture where the fire to explore your interests lives in your body through a guided power yoga practice.

Find Your Unique Zone of Genius
Tuesday November 11, 2025
Creative Practice: Crafting your Secret Sauce
Your Unique Zone of Genius is where your strengths, talents, and interests align. Operating in your zone of genius often leads to a state of flow, where work feels effortless, time seems to fly by, and the impact you make is maximized. We will help you to identify, own, and embrace your “secret sauce” with a blend of inspired seeking, creative thinking, and strategic actions.
