workshops & community conversations

Workshops are spaces for reflection, conversation, and connection. Each gathering is designed to bring people together in meaningful ways to explore life, death, identity, and the deeper truths of living authentically.

I offer both in-person and virtual workshops. Every program is interactive, warm, and rooted in creating safe spaces where participants can share openly and leave with practical insights they can carry forward.

  • A facilitated conversation that honors all perspectives
