If you are a part of a group or team, or are interested in joining one, I offer workshops, sessions, and other programs to end isolation and separation. Group work can often be intimidating, however it’s within groups we can experience the human condition in more direct manner. I believe we must be able to go through a hard time and have trust that we will make it out ok. This happens when we are in relationship with other people. Often times, we have early childhood experience(s) that challenges this belief. Over time, these experiences can be reinforced into our nervous system. In order to retrain our nervous system, we enter into new, healthier experiences and relationships, changing the old programming. The work we will do together sheds light into the places we cannot see when we are with ourselves. It is within relationship we embrace what we do not yet know.

Martin Buber's 'I-Thou' Relationship Perspective:

In the I-Thou encounter, we relate to each other as authentic beings, without judgment, qualification, or objectification. I meet you as you are, and you meet me as who I am. In the I-Thou relationship, what is key is how I am with you in my own heart and mind.

The I-It encounter is the opposite in that we relate to another as object, completely outside of ourselves.
