(See descriptions below) *Signature Talk* - Holding Space- For Individuals For: Those That Want to Learn How to Support Others While Taking Care of Themselves, Those Who Want to Learn the Importance of "Being" Description: Do you know what it means to Hold Space? Many people don't, though most people have done it at least a handful of times in their lives. This talk defines and clarifies what is meant by the term Holding Space as it clarifies initial stirrings of awareness, the role of intuition and self-care, holding space for others, in relationships, for your dreams, and for the world at large. Audiences will learn how to honor their own needs and boundaries first, so they can be of even greater service to themselves and the world around them. *Signature Talk*- Holding Space- For Professionals For: Healers, Therapists, Healthcare Workers, Teachers, Facilitators, Doctors, Coaches, Mentors, Speakers, Leaders, etc. Description: To get the best results for your clients, you need to be amazing at your craft, but there is another major piece that must be in place. You need to be able to (without depleting your own energy), first create the healing or integration space and then confidently guide your clients within that space in order to keep the session or event tight and on track. You also must understand how to correctly use the power of "being" and your individual gifts to take some of the "structure" out of your session in order to allow it to unfold in the way that is best and highest for your clients. Becoming a master spaceholder will allow you to maximize your speaking/healing/teaching/facilitating talents to empower both you and your clients to use your innate knowing to facilitate amazing results! *Healing the Masculine and Feminine (How to Truly Change the World from the Inside, Out)* For: Professional or Personal Audiences Description: In the past few centuries, Western society has done a beautiful job of inventing better ways for us to survive through masculine energy (we all have both masculine and feminine energy, no matter our gender). However, if we are to move into the next era of creation and truly thrive as a species and a planet, we must recover our feminine energy both within and without. By doing so, we will create better quality relationships with ourselves as well as everyone and everything around us. If we can direct our energy as individuals and collective society towards emotional intelligence, we can transform ourselves and become better able to bear witness to others. These tools will allow us to move back into balance and deliver us again into our natural state of oneness, cooperation, and co-creation with each other and all things. We begin the journey to regain the "other half" of ourselves and our world by discovering that it lies within each and every one of us. When this concept has been fully integrated, we will then realize that we all have the power to reclaim it. *Emotional Intelligence/How to Create Healthy Partnerships* (These talks can be separated into either as a single topic) For: Couples, Leaders and Managers, Families, Singles, Mental Health, Youth Empowerment, Wellness Events and Audiences Description: Learn how to do your inner personal growth work and why it's important not just for you, but for those around you, as well as the world at large. Practical tips, tools, and exercises will be provided in a lighthearted and easily understandable way. Sample topics include: "Know Thyself," "Love Thyself," "How to Show Up Fully in Relationships," "When Things Get Rough," "See the Good," and "Putting it all Together." *How to Find Your Authentic Self and Live a Life in Alignment With It* For: Individuals, Seekers, Those on a Personal Growth Journey, Those Facing a Crossroads, Career or Life Transformation, or Choice Point Description: Peel back the layers of the onion skin to find out who you are truly meant to be and learn how to create and navigate a life you build in alignment with who you really are!
