Daring Way™ Groups
The Daring Way™ is a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. This method is designed for work with individuals, couples, families, work teams, and organizational leaders. During the process we explore topics such as vulnerability, courage, shame, and worthiness. We examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that are holding us back and we identify the new choices and practices that will move us toward more authentic and wholehearted living. The primary focus is on developing shame resilience skills and developing daily practices that transform the way we live, love, parent, and work.
In these groups, we explore the stories we have told ourselves, and create space to begin to write our own new stories based on our more authentic selves as we evolve. This implicitly also involves a process of nurturing self-compassion. I am a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator (CDWF). No preparation or previous experience with this work is required.
2023 Weekend in-the-city retreats will be based on The Gifts of Imperfection. If you want to read any or all of the book The Gifts of Imperfection before the workshop, you may find it helpful for background, however no preparation is required. The Gifts of Imperfection workbook will be provided. Workshops take place in the Richmond and Spadina area, downtown Toronto.
2023 Retreat Dates to come
These workshops will involve a curiously compassionate self-exploration of what it means to become more of your wholehearted self. The focus is on practices and tools to support letting go of who you think you should be, and embracing the fullness of who you are.
If you are interested in an upcoming session, and there is space available, I meet with prospective clients for a 45-minute, OHIP-covered intake session. This is undertaken to ensure that the endeavor can be a good fit for client needs. Click here to inquire.

Custom presentations for organizations and teams
I can create something just for your group. I work on a consulting basis to develop and deliver workshops in an array of work settings, where I can adapt the content to be presented in a range of lengths and formats, from a one-hour didactic introductory session or keynote speech, to an extended series of in-depth interactive workshops over a period of time. Contact me to discuss your needs.
