In my work with a wide range of groups and organizations, I often utilize a small group model to facilitate the learning of individuals and families who share common interests and concerns. My seminars, retreats and public presentations focus on several themes:
- healthy, creative approaches to effective, compassionate caregiving
- aging well
- intergenerational relationships
- financial concerns /raising charitable children
- developing wisdom and long-term strategies for creating and sustaining balance and contentment amidst the ever-changing realities of life
