Workshops 2025

Learning. Feeling joy. Getting inspired. Together. 

Here’s why I offer workshops:

Connection with others is one of the greatest sources of joy in our lives. You can understand this through opposition: Think back to the isolation of the Covid times, where connection was reduced, and you’ll likely get what I mean.

Even in an online world with endless opportunities to stay connected, loneliness is a present challenge —whether we live in big urban centres or small villages.

For me, a workshop is a way to be in a space where people come together—not just to spend time with one another, but to share meaningful experiences that ripple into their everyday lives and of their loved ones. 

Our ancestors thrived by gathering, connecting, and sharing. These shared experiences make us feel more accepted, safer and inspired to step back into our lives with renewed energy and sense of purpose.

So, this is why I offer workshops: to do things, to take action, but mostly to do it together. That changes everything.
