KIDS ARE IN SCHOOL, NOW WHAT?
Discover how to make thoughtful choices about how to use your time, now that your kids are in school. Explore whether you want to go back to paid work now, down the road, or dive into a creative pursuit. Determine how to choose volunteer opportunities that are satisfying and don't burn you out. Clarify your priorities about wellness, personal development and balancing your family's needs. This take-action workshop culminates with creating your personal plan for how to make the most of your time in the next year. This workshop is perfect for organizations, schools and churches to offer to their members who are parents. It also works great for a group of friends who are parents, who can provide continuing support to each other.

Formats: Depending on the needs of the group, this workshop can be offered as an ongoing series, two-part course or as a one hour introductory session. It is also able to be set up as a teleclass or individualized coaching sessions.

THE COLORS OF MY DAYS
Parent/Child Groups (Ages 3 and up) Inspired by Dr. Suess’s delightful children’s book, “My Many Colored Days,” participants express emotion using color. Parent/child pairs express the nuances of life, which are often difficult to put words to, through art. The creative process offers a therapeutic and playful opportunity for parents and children to connect with one another while teaching creative and healthy ways of expressing joy, sadness, anger, loneliness and scared feelings. Perfect for parenting groups and playgroups.

Facilitated by Tasha Burg

“Tasha (the facilitator) is compassionate, genuine and undoubtedly wise. She has an extremely warm presence about her.” —C.H.
