"Tools of Effective Dialogue in Leadership"
This interactive 5 hour session invites participants on a journey of reflection, unlearning, and personal growth as they explore the complexities of intersectionality and moral injury in school-based work. Through restorative circle discussions and guided reflection activities, participants will examine previously held beliefs, identifying and acknowledging at least one they have had to unlearn. They will articulate the shifts in thinking and personal development that emerge from engaging in reflective practices, deepening their understanding of how overlapping identities shape experiences within educational systems. The session will introduce the concept of moral injury, providing a framework for understanding the emotional and ethical challenges that arise when working within inequitable systems. Participants will analyze real-world scenarios, identify sources of moral injury, and explore strategies for maintaining integrity and resilience. To support long-term growth, participants will identify areas for celebration and continued learning, developing personalized action plans that integrate intersectionality principles and DEI strategies into their future work. This session will empower educators to navigate systemic challenges, foster inclusive school environments, and advocate for equitable practices that prioritize student and family well-being

"Pathways to Presence: An Enneagram and Mindfulness Retreat"
Pathways to Presence: An Enneagram and Mindfulness Retreat offers a transformative journey toward self-awareness and professional growth. This retreat integrates mindfulness and the Enneagram to enhance emotional resilience, deepen self-understanding, and improve clinical practice.
Participants will explore foundational mindfulness principles and identify their Enneagram type to uncover core motivations, strengths, and challenges. Through guided self-reflection, they will recognize habitual blind spots and learn how present-moment awareness fosters acceptance and reduces emotional suffering. The retreat introduces the mindfulness-based R.A.I.N. practice as a tool for navigating difficult emotions and breaking reactive patterns.
In later sessions, participants will create a Wholeness Map, drawing from other Enneagram types to cultivate balance. By sharing insights and experiences, they will strengthen connection and compassion. The retreat concludes with practical applications of mindfulness and the Enneagram in clinical settings, offering valuable strategies for integrating these tools into therapeutic work.
