tell Your storY, see Your life in a new way, grow out of old patterns, and become the person You were meant to be.
You are hustling around doing all of the urgent but unimportant tasks that make up a life: driving the soccer carpool, picking up prescriptions, checking the endless emails.
You want to slow down, reflect, write, learn, grow. Sometimes you squeeze in a walk with a podcast on the latest tips for complete transformation. Of course, it’s not that simple.
Truly knowing ourselves means slowing down and making space for reflection and growth.

Connection & Purpose Through Service Workshop
The world’s problems can overwhelm us: the climate crisis, systemic injustice, income inequality, gun violence, and the erosion of democracy. Yet each of us has the power to make significant change. In this workshop, women will uncover how their talents, interests, and inner wisdom guide them to make a difference in the world. Participants will work through a series of exercises and reflections to begin to uncover the perfect path for their interests, talents, and calling. Everyone will leave with action items and the strategies and inspiration to make them happen.
2 hours on demand | ONLINE or IN PERSON | $75
Fairness & Belonging Workshop
It’s never been more important to grow as people and community members. Creating equity and belonging starts with ourselves. In this workshop, participants learn about their own biases and how they can reduce the impact of those in their daily lives. We discuss privilege, allyship, and how to hold challenging conversations. This workshop helps participants have and lead difficult conversations on race and racism, gender, privilege, and allyship.
This workshop is for people who want to learn more about themselves, be more fair, and help build more equitable communities.

"Turns out I found Shanti's personal writing workshop at exactly the right moment. In just a short time, she's created a safe space for me to delve into memories and use the pen to make some sense of them.
Shanti blends frameworks, powerful prompts, and her own experiences to create a supportive environment where a small group of interesting women can come together and weave a story from their lives. And watch what unfolds when they write."
