Speaking + Teaching

Learning that engages attention, relationship, and experience.

Talks, workshops, and experiential programs at the meeting of psychology, embodiment, and human development.

I design learning experiences that help people observe familiar patterns more closely and explore how an idea operates in their own lives and work. Reflection, dialogue, and practice give participants different ways to engage with the material.

Areas of inquiry

Relationship and communication

How we listen, make assumptions, navigate differences, and respond to the expectations we carry into a relationship.

Embodiment and attention

How bodily experience informs awareness, and how pressure affects what we notice, communicate, and decide.

Roles, change, and responsibility

How changing circumstances and professional roles shape our responses, and what it takes to reconsider familiar ways of working.

Formats

Guest lectures and talks

Workshops and multi-session learning programs

Retreats and immersive experiences

Curriculum consultation and custom program design

Programs can be developed for educational institutions, professional communities, organizations, and small groups. Format, pacing, and content are determined in conversation with the host.

My approach

My teaching draws on long-term practice in somatic and contemplative traditions and experience in graduate education and residential experiential learning. I bring a relational approach to the room, with attention to both the material and the people engaging with it.

About my background

Developing an engagement

Tell me about your audience, the questions you want to explore, and the setting you have in mind. Include proposed dates and format if these are already known. We can consider what would be useful and how to shape the experience.
