Group Coaching
Each group series focuses on a different theme and sessions are then tailored to fit the needs of the individuals in the group. A series of nine group sessions covers a three month period, with meetings on the first three weeks of the month. Group members call in to a central teleconferencing number at a specified time for the 60 minute sessions.

How does this work on the phone?

Easier than you might think.

Once everyone on the call checks in, the coach guides the discussion. Each person simply says their name before they start talking. Generally groups run between 5 and 10 people. We quickly learn to tell who is who by voice. When several people talk at once, the coach plays traffic director for a moment.
Before long, the normal pattern of people who are interested in the same things and excited about what they are doing takes over; laughter and sharing of setbacks and milestones weave through the material covered.

E-mail is used to communicate with the coach and encouraged among group members. Each session is followed by an e-mail of backup material and exercised to do on your own.

Group Fees are $105 a month or $315 for the nine session series. Fees are payable monthly by credit card or in full by check at signup.

Deepening the Source
This group nourishes the sources from which your creative juices spring. It is especially good for those who have hit a dry spell or have trouble getting motivated on your own.
The series of nine sessions draws on aspects of life experience you may not have considered as supporting your work. Each session focuses on different sectors of life experience for the group members to explore.
We begin by focusing our relationship to the outer events of our world and our reactions to them. We then move through areas of bodily experience and how language and music can support our work. Only at the end of the series do we turn to the ways that visual input and journaling can crystallize the sources that inspire you deeply.

bullet1. Natural and unnatural worlds
2. Connecting to everyday gods and goddesses
3. Moving to your own rhythms
4. Minute bodily feedback
5. The stories we love
6. Welcoming our nighttime dreams
7. Earth, water, and other crossover media
8. Holding images
9. Creating your personal multimedia journal
