Speaking Topics
Parents, Nourish Love's Roots
|
Let's not sugarcoat it: parenting is tough. Everyone wants to do better by their kids than was done to them. In this interactive workshop, you will gain clarity and perspective on nourishing love's roots in your children by learning what your child needs at each stage of development-- and what you need to do to give it to them.
Time needed: 60 - 90 minutes Special requirements: Participants will need space to work through the worksheets/exercises provided. |
|
Mindset Over Matter
|
Its Mindset, rather than talent or intelligence, that actually determines how far you'll go- in school, at work, and even in romantic relationships. Based on the work of Carol Dweck, an educational psychologist from Stanford, this presentation can be tailored to your group to help them see how they've built their own cage- and how to let themselves out.
Time needed: 20 - 40 minutes |

Nourish Love's Roots with Yes & No
|
If you feel like you have to scream to be heard, it could have to do with your own relationship to "Yes" and "No". Imagine being able to whisper "No" and it be heard loud and clear. All of our decisions hang on these two words, yet what do they even mean to us? In this active workshop, you will discover through movement and partner work where "Yes" and "No" live in your body, so you can unpack the baggage you've been using to weigh them down and even bury them. Once they're free, you will be too!
Time needed: 90 minutes - 2 hours Special requirements: This is a very active workshop - need open space for participants to be able to mill around. Majority of workshop is spent in movement. Desks/tables not needed, could even be cumbersome. |

Power Poses
|
We know that how we feel shapes our body language, but did you know that your body language also shapes how you feel? Amy Cuddy from Harvard Business School delivered a TED talk where she discusses the science and implications of this idea. In this workshop, we'll explore and practice the principles Cuddy lays out in her talk and find ways befriending your body can bring you success in work and life.
Time needed: 30 - 45 minutes Special requirements: Enough space for participants to practice some poses and move around the room. Desks/tables can easily be worked around. |

Bio

General:
Jacqueline loves to help humans grow and bloom, and has discovered that the best way for her to do that is to help them build healthy happy homes and workplaces that support authentic connection. Understanding signs, symbols, and archetypes helped her break out of the abusive patterns of her past so she now uses that experience to help folks see their lives and relationships in new ways, and design ceremonies to mark the rites of passage that come with new growth and new connections. She learned the hard way that wanting to stop negative patterns and actually charting a new passage are two different things. Several breakdowns and break-ups later, she’s now a master of ushering a tree out of a mustard seed. She grew up in an alcoholic Southern Baptist family in Memphis, Tennessee. It was the best possible fertilizer for the work she is here to do. The work of Carl Jung--and his belief that humans are good, marvelous, and self-healing--is the sap of her tree. She got her Master’s degree in The Netherlands, where she lived for almost a decade. The focus of her work was on women's images in the media. She was particularly interested in how they shaped sense of self and power. She taught writing, literature, and women’s studies for 13 years, and now lives in Arizona with her partner Jason, and her two cats in a house with lots of funny angles and a different color on every wall. She travels to China every year to work with the World Academy for the Future of Women, and is the Central Neighborhood Co-Chair for the National Association of Women Business Owners here in Phoenix. For individual/body work: Jacqueline Freeman is a coach and celebrant that is passionate about helping people nourish Love's roots. The starting place? Embracing your natural preferences, befriending your emotions, and being at Home in your body so you can feel the support that is always around you. Raised in a strict Southern Baptist home in Tennessee, she was told that her body was the enemy. Her graduate studies in women's images in the media and how they impact sense of power and self-esteem confirmed her intuition that maybe its not our bodies that're the problem, but our attitudes towards them. Since the relationship with the body is the template for every other relationship in our lives, it'd do us good to make sure that marriage is a good one!
