Event Overview

“What Are Your Ruby Slippers?” is a guided mind/ body/ art exploration of our life journeys – helping you find the way to more love, family, connection, heart, wisdom etc. In the “Wizard of Oz,” the ruby slippers were the symbol, the magic charm or tool that helped Dorothy find her Way and her happiness. Our workshops will help you find yours!

You will be guided through simple mind/body exercises that develop inner strength and power; explore the meaning of the Hero’s Journey and how it relates to your own life; then draw/write/play to create your own mythic journey tale revealing what had been hidden, the magic tool or charm, symbol which represents the key to opening doors to new adventures. You’ll be ready to bring your own magic charm back from the adventure to the regular world to be realized in full.

These workshops are grounded in ancient wisdom and groundbreaking neuroscience and are for anyone who wants to develop a richer, more empowered life of greater meaning and joy. Workshops available which focus on career, healing from trauma, or love.

You will learn to ground yourself in the present moment; train your brain to develop power by uniting body & mind; find the significant symbol that can help you grow right now, describe your present state of being, what you’d like to change and imagine the future bliss of how your life could be if you make use of your magic tool on your own Hero’s Journey to move towards that which your heart most desires.
