Strategic Creativity
Saturday, December 13th 2025
While creativity often involves spontaneity, unpredictability, intensity, and passionate obsession, we may sometimes want our relationship to our creative process to feel more deliberate. To this end, this workshop explores the relational and "elemental" aspects of creativity to develop new strategies for engaging it productively.

Perception &
Self-presentation
Saturday, January 17th 2026
How we interpret and respond to feedback is on of the more fought areas of social life, but unavoidable in the development of any kind of public, professional identity or persona.

Planning Developmental Arcs
Saturday, February 21st 2026
Personal development can unfold on many different time horizons, from a few sessions to months, years, or even a lifetime. This workshop introduces several different frameworks for navigating transformative work on longer time scales, for guiding your own development or that of clients, reports, or others in your care.

Metaphors, Symbols &
Archetypes
Saturday, March 14th 2026
Metaphors, symbols, and archetypes have a long history in transformational work (long before Jung!), but can be one of the more challenging areas to bring alive in one's own practice. Grounded in theory but focused on practical experience, this workshop introduces several ways these concepts can serve us in developmental work.
Instructor: Emily Dama
Personal Sovereignty
Saturday, March 28th 2026
As we mature, many of us incline towards increasing our personal sovereignty in important areas of our lives, taking on greater responsibilities and exercising more autonomous choice. However, we don't always find natural developmental opportunities for making this step, and can get stuck in positions of dependence, deferred maintenance, or immaturity. This workshop invites participants to take conscious steps towards greater sovereignty, examining blocks and introducing concrete skills for doing so.
Instructor: Emily Dama
Language, Gesture & Intention
Saturday, April 18th 2026
From Wittgensteinian "language games" to non-verbal and non-violent communication, this workshop explores what can and can't be spoken and why, and how to increase the range and creativity of our verbal expressions.
