Wake Up to Your Stories
                             Better Living Through Storytelling
Online Workshops
Do you have a story to tell?

Do you believe your voice hasn’t been heard?

Do you want to make a significant change in your life this year?


My books, Wake Up to Your Stories and Wake Up to Your Weight Loss, were developed over twelve years of working with individuals and small groups. I’ve helped disenfranchised people and millionaires to find their voices, and many more to achieve their dream of being published authors. My online classes can help you as well, no matter what your goal may be.

If you have any questions before you sign up, please email me here. I want you to feel safe in signing up for any of my online workshops, and to be able to utilize what you learn there in your “real” life.

NEW CLASS! Releasing Doubt: You Can Achieve Your Best Body
                                        (July 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd, 2008)


Ask anyone who’s ever tried to lose weight and you’re likely to find someone who has enjoyed some success, only to fall back into old patterns. Doubt plays a huge part in this cycle. We expect our efforts to fail, because we approach the problem as one of eating and calorie burning alone, without ever considering the mental and emotional aspects of this journey. This includes how we came to hold weight on our bodies in the first place, and how to work with your mental and emotional states as the weight comes off.

This is a writing, healing and wellness program designed to take place over 4 weeks. In the past, I have only conducted this program face-to-face, in bookstores, classrooms, coffee shops and other meeting places. But I soon realized that I could help a lot more people if I took advantage of the technologies currently available to us – hence these online workshops.

The structure of the classes will provide lots of room for growth and participation. Each call will be approximately one hour in duration, using the following format:


- For about 15 minutes, I’ll give a brief talk on storytelling, healing and how we all already use these techniques on a day-to-day basis.
- For about 15 minutes, we’ll do a guided meditation, which provides stress relief, relaxation, and a window into how you’re already using storytelling to define yourself, approve or disapprove your stated goals, etc.
- For about 15 minutes, we’ll do several follow up exercises, and begin your personal storytelling practice. I will guide you through each step of this practice, until it becomes very routine and comfortable for you.
- For the last 15 minutes, I’ll go over the extension exercises, which you will complete in your own time during the week. Don’t worry, they are meant to be brief ways (maybe 15-20 minutes per day) to keep this new mind-body connection alive during the week, and to help you begin to take action towards achieving your goals. I will also take questions (which can be sent by email before or during the class), answering as many per week as I can.

Please contact me using our online Contact form if you have any questions before the class. Payments are through PayPal only. If you don’t have a PayPal account, they're free, and very easy to set up. You can then pay using a credit card, or by having money transferred directly from your bank account. It’s very safe, because they have an SSL, which keeps all your information completely private.

Once we’ve received your payment, we’ll immediately send all the details for your first call. Please read the cancellation policy below, because by paying the cost for one or more workshop, you acknowledge that you have read and agree with this policy. Looking forward to “seeing” you on the first call!

     COST: $35.00

NOTE:
If you haven’t been on a teleseminar before, you’re in for a treat. It’s basically a very large conference call, with all participants dialing in to a common number from their home, office or cell phone, and then inputting a special code. Doing that connects you to the call, and the workshop I will be teaching. Your only responsibility is the regular local or long-distance cost of the call, billed to you by your phone company. If you are unable to join the call at a particular time, for any reason, all of the calls will be taped, and then made available to you as MP3 audio files within a day or two of the original call. That way, you can take part in this workshop, no matter where you live, or what time zone you’re in.


NEW CLASS! The Wisdom of Transformation: Rewriting the Story of Your Life
                                                       (August 6th, 13th, 20th & 27th)


Every living person deserves to have his voice heard, and to have her needs met. But sometimes, we just don’t have to tools to help make it so. The Wisdom of Transformation is a unique online workshop that helps bring out the answers that are right for you, given your circumstances, your history, and your goals for the future. We do this using your personal stories. Once these have been identified and “rewritten,” you will have a very clear roadmap to help find your way to your goals.

This is a writing, healing and wellness program designed to take place over 4 weeks. In the past, I have only conducted this program face-to-face, in bookstores, classrooms, coffee shops and other meeting places.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
All workshops must be paid in advance. If you pay for the workshop and have to cancel for some reason, we require a 48-hour notice by email (using our online Contact form) in order to refund your payment in full. Cancellations received with any less notice will not be refunded.

Remember, all calls will be available for listening as an MP3 file whenever you’re available to do so, so if your schedule prevents you from attending the calls in person, don’t let that stand in your way. You’re also free to email in any questions, and I will answer them whether or not you’re actually on the call.
