Workshops

Are you experiencing  grief and loss because of what you have encountered throughout the pandemic? Join me for this 90 minute workshop where, through an experiential approach to healing, you can understand the grief process, discuss coping strategies and embrace hope with support from your peers.

Navigating life during times of challenge can create stress, anxiety, and even feelings of hopelessness. But much like the Superhero, who finds the strength to defeat the villains, these challenges present opportunities for growth and inspiration when you find your superpowers for fighting adversity. Join Vicky to awaken the forces within by discovering passion, purpose, and strengths, embrace hope, and tackle those difficult times. By tapping into your unique talents, you will be able to unleash your superpowers, restore balance and well-being, and live a more joyful and satisfying life by sharing your superpowers with others. 

 Becoming aware of your mental and emotional states and "living in the moment" can be difficult. Paying attention to the experience through mindful walking, forest bathing, drumming, rock stacking, Haiku poetry, and nature-based expressive arts, you can become more aware of "joyful moments" and improve your quality of life
