In-Person
Workshop
The Autumn Grounding
An evening to slow down, reconnect, and make a little space for yourself.
Do you ever feel like your mind is always running, your list never quite ends, and you're moving from one thing to the next without really checking in with yourself?
Sometimes life is simply full. There are people to care for, responsibilities to manage, work, family, and all the little things that fill our days. Even when we're managing it all, we can find ourselves running on autopilot, with little time to stop and notice how we're actually doing.
The Autumn Grounding is an invitation to pause.
For 90 minutes, we'll step away from the usual demands of the day to slow down, reflect, and reconnect. Through gentle teaching, facilitated reflection and conversation, we'll explore how we move through busy periods, how we tend to cope, and what might help us feel more present, nourished, and connected.
We'll also explore simple ways to make room for ourselves within the life we already have, followed by a guided relaxation to help you slow down and settle.
Come as you are. You can share, listen, reflect, or simply be. There’s no pressure to accomplish anything, just a small group and some time to slow down.

Online Workshop
The Relationship You Never Knew You Had
An interactive online workshop exploring our relationship with our bodies
We all have a relationship with our bodies, but how often do we stop to consider what that relationship is actually like?
So many things can shape how we relate to our bodies: how we feel about our appearance, our health and wellbeing, life experiences and changes, injuries, aging, and more.
Many of us have spent years thinking about our bodies as something to improve, change, control, or judge. But what if, instead of seeing our bodies as a problem to solve, we became more curious about the relationship we have with them?
Through gentle teaching, guided reflection, conversation, practical exercises, and a guided relaxation, we'll explore some of the experiences and messages that have shaped how we relate to our bodies.
You'll have space to pause and reflect on the body that has been with you through every chapter of your life, and to consider what you might want your relationship with it to look and feel like in the next chapter.
In a small, welcoming group, you'll have space to reflect, share if you wish, and explore your relationship with your body at your own pace.

Words from past participants
"I found this workshop to be such a meaningful experience. What really resonated with me was the focus on developing a kinder relationship with my body rather than judging, criticizing, or constantly wishing it were different. The guided meditation was especially lovely and it gave me an opportunity to slow down, connect with my body (and mind), and really listen to it in a way I never take the time to do. I also appreciated how interactive the workshop was. Having safe opportunities to reflect, share, and hear from others made the experience feel very relatable."
- Sandy Reichert
"This was a beautifully facilitated workshop, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to give themselves the gift of a more mindful relationship with their body.” - S
"Teri’s approach is calming, supportive and empathetic. This workshop provoked many feelings and emotions but left me with a positive outlook. Teri is genuinely kind and caring.”
