I am available to lead workshops and over the years have too many to name here.  Currently I am interested in the following 5 areas and seek opportunities to give such workshops.

I hope you will join me in this endeavour. It will be my 14th year and I always find it rewarding and find myself reading books that stretch my choices and help me learn much that is new.

2. "Dreams and their Meanings" - Spring 2016

I bring to such a group,  years of teaching dream interpretation in seminary and years of working with individuals with their dreams. My orientation is largely Jungian but certainly includes the work of Gestalt and also of Ann Faraday and others.  If you are interested please be in touch   days and times and cost are a work in progress. 

3. "Evolutionary Spirituality"

Led by myself and a colleague this is a group that takes a serious look at the work of Ilia Delio, John Haught and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and other evolutionaries. 

4. "The Things We Handed Down"

I have a very large commitment to the importance family of origin. I gave this workshop recently in Vancouver and am willing to do it in your group context.  

"It was a delight to have Ann lead this engaging workshop.  Couples participated and learned much about their patterns of behaviour in a non-threatening environment.  Her own openness and humorous examples makes this happen.  It is a pleasure to recommend this workshop."

4. "There will be no Creche for Christmas this Year"

A workshop that explores family of origin issues around Christmas rituals and more.  Recently given at Common Dreams in Australia 2013, and in Australia and at Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga .
