Community Connector
------------------

 I speak, write, paint and gather amazing people around these themes:

SELF-DISCOVERY

  • ancient wisdom & modern psychology
  • evolutionary & spiritual roadmaps
  • being curious & learning from the inevitable ups & downs of one’s life journey

CREATIVITY

  • expressive arts as a joyful pathway to inner peace
  • slowing down through healing arts to tap into our inner knowing
  • enjoying the process without worrying about the product

COMMUNITY

  • the importance of being in sacred, non-judgmental space to feel safe
  • finding & expressing oneself from inner wisdom
  • the collective power we have to dream in a new world

I am passionate about humans living with aliveness from the truth of who they are. 

BEING, with maybe a bit less DOING. 

It’s ok to DO less, by slowing down, listening deeply, and taking time to truly take in nourishing moments. It’s actually precious and necessary for our overall health, resilience, and thriving in challenging, transformational times.

A bit more about me.

I am a life-long learner about human potential and expressing one’s unique self without fear of being judged. 

To discover these ways of being for myself I earned multiple degrees in psychology, social work, and the healing arts. 

I faced challenging (and joyful) life experiences we might call great “learning opportunities”, which I always faced with as much optimism as possible.

I am grateful for the numerous professional trainings I’ve been part of with experts in the fields of human potential, cross-cultural communication, leadership development, and expressive arts as paths to living our best selves.

Everything we’ve done in our lives are building blocks towards our wholeness and

self-expression. Some of my experiences that inform how I work in the world today are: 


THRIVING IN TRANSITION: In the ten years I worked as a cross-cultural consultant, helping executives and their families move and thrive internationally, I learned what it takes to leave everything you know behind and successfully thrive in a completely new world.  

 

CREATING COMMUNITY: I’ve gathered people together since high school days, but the community I am most proud of is group I founded of international women in New Jersey / New York that has been supporting each other for over 27 years and continues to thrive, with over 120 members from 20+ countries.

EXPRESSIVE ARTS: I stopped painting, singing, and being on stage while raising my children. Opening up to those natural expressions in myself helps me make sense of my world and trust my inner guidance. I love sharing this experience with other curious people who are willing to slow down, build muscles of facing the unknown (a blank paper) to discover their true gifts that may be waiting to be revealed.

I’ve just returned “home” to New Jersey after being away for over 20 years. I was on what feels like a heroine’s journey that taught me a lot! 

In the new year I will be offering fun ways to connect. For now, I am happy to connect with those of you I have known and will get to know as we move into these extraordinary times. I welcome being in touch. 
 

Drop me a note! I look forward to getting to know you.
