Live Events
A few times a year Karen and I host live events around the world, from three-day intensives at our ranch in California to weekend workshops in Copenhagen and co-ed relational trainings in Budapest. The cohorts stay small on purpose, the work is real, and the schedule moves between teaching, practice, and the kind of conversation you don’t usually get to have.
Each weekend draws on psychodrama, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems, somatic work, bioenergetics, NLP, and shadow work. People come expecting to learn something and tend to leave changed by something instead, which I think is the whole point.
If you’ve been circling this work for a while and waiting for the right room, this is it.

Mentorship & facilitation.
Mentorship with me is a program built around actionable goals and the practical strategies it takes to get there. Most of the people I work with one-on-one come in carrying some version of the same question: am I really going to live the life I sense I’m here for, or am I going to keep explaining why I can’t. In my experience, what people name as depression, addiction, or a slow drift of purpose tends to be less of a standalone problem and more of a bill for pretending you don’t already know what your life is asking of you.
For groups and organizations I lead trainings and workshops in Gestalt, Internal Family Systems, somatic and bioenergetic practice, IMAGO, NLP, Clean Language, and shadow work. The point of the room is to actually move what has been stuck and to give people enough new ground to write a different next chapter, whether that means stronger leadership skills, cleaner communication, or simply the courage to lead the life that has been waiting for them.
Whether you come solo or bring a team, the work is the same in spirit. I’ll meet you honestly and won’t waste your time.
