Biography
1.5 – 2 Hours
The Biography Work is an inquiry into the cycles of the individual life story.
We experience two biographies inner / outer, physical /spiritual, revealing destiny pictures of our lives and people we meet. Mapping these cycles provides patterns of past and present to support working with self development for world development.

She facilitates individual and group biography work in private practice. The work supports recognising and meeting what needs to be overcome for future development – using dialogue combined with creative arts as tools of transformation.
In the context of the retreat, exploring biographical questions gives the opportunity to deepen self knowledge. Depending on the time frame and retreat theme, the participant may request to examine one or more significant events in their life cycles or explore the threads weaving patterns with universal cosmology. There may be a request to gain insight into times of transition for strengthening future outcomes. Exploring these inner landscapes using dialogue and artistic representation of water colour painting and clay modelling, supports and embodies the lived experience.
