Working with Publishers & Editors
One of the most common fears and frustrations that authors experience is how to maintain the integrity of their work while at the same time, considering the changes requested by the publisher, editor, or other publishing professionals. In the beginning, the revisions they have asked you to make can feel overwhelming and inauthentic to what you are trying to convey as an author. The good news is that you can satisfy the needs of the publisher and remain true to your vision. In this workshop, students will learn how to create positive collaborations with publishers, what changes they can and cannot live with, how to make sense of contradictory advice, and much more.

DREAMWORK CLASSES
Preparing the Dreamspace
As children, we had many rituals to help us get ready for bed and prepare us for our journey to dreamland. Maybe it was a warm bath, a bedtime snack, a bedtime story, your favorite pajamas, or being tucked in with a treasured toy or stuffed animal. Our dream lives offer us another way of experiencing ourselves and the world around us. Dreams furnish us with images and ideas that we can use as a source of creativity, as a means of problem solving, and as a connection to the divine. They are a sacred part of us waiting to be heard and understood. The first step in accessing these messages is remembering your dreams. In this course, students will learn different methods and rituals to facilitate the dream recall process.
Beginning & Continuing Dreamwork Classes
Learning to work with our dreams is a powerful, intimate process. Like a work of art, a dream reflects a personal, nonverbal part of us that evokes different meanings for both the dreamer and the dreamer's audience. Through a variety of techniques, you will learn how to interact with the images, feelings, and words contained in dreams. In this group setting, we will create a sacred place built on safety and trust for you to share and explore your dreams.
INTUITION CLASSES
Trusting Your Intuition
Do you ever wonder how you know about something before it happens or have a “feeling” regarding a person or situation that turns out to be true? Intuition is a natural ability that we are born with and stays with us our entire lives. The more we trust our intuition, the more guidance we receive. In this class, students discover how to distinguish the difference between the messages coming from their intuition and thoughts generated by their fears and anxieties. Discover how your intuition speaks to you and tap into this valuable source of guidance and inner wisdom.
HEALTH & HEALING CLASSES
Reimagining Diabetes: Reclaiming Our Stories of Health and Wholeness
Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality. —Jonas Salk
Rethinking and redefining your personal story with diabetes is an ongoing process. I believe that stories, just like food, insulin, and exercise, are part of living a healthy life. Our stories are medicine, important medicine. The stories we tell ourselves about having diabetes affect our decisions and choices we make for self-care on a daily basis along with our overall happiness.
