“Many of us are willing to spend six or eight years studying to get a diploma. We believe it’s necessary for us to be happy. But very few of us are willing to spend three or six months, or even a year, training
ourselves to handle our sadness or our anger, to listen with compassion, and to use loving speech.
If you can learn how to transform your anger, sadness, and despair, and if you can learn how to use loving speech and deep listening, you can become a real hero capable of offering happiness to many people.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
LIVEWELL WORKSHOPS
The LiveWell Workshops are engaging 2-3 hour, in-person training sessions designed to ignite meaningful discussions, supported by slides, small group interactions, group practice, and plenty of time for questions.
These sessions are enriched with relevant resources and are tailored to support a wide range of organizations, including hospices, seniors hubs, community organizations, and other businesses. Tracy's warm and welcoming approach has nourished diverse audiences, from intimate groups of fewer than 10 people to larger hubs with over 100 participants.
The LiveWell Workshops will become available as prerecorded courses in early 2025. You can purchase the courses individually or as a bundle of 5. These self-paced offerings will invite engagement with other participants through discussions, embodiment practices, resources, and recorded sessions.
